Leebo, have you tried any of the “core” AR blends? Habano or Maduro? Or anything else from AR? Last week I smoked a Quattro which is pretty much my favorite cigar and it didn’t burn well. This was the first experience I’ve had like that with AR.

Yes, I've smoked the core maduro, and it's good. I like other things by AR better. I don't think I've had the core natural, or if I have I can't remember it. Seems like someone recently gave me one, so I'll get to try it soon.


And counting from my last post, I think we skipped a number. Tele's correction seems to me to have added one to the count. Someone else should verify.

I find cigars like that to be especially suitable for a second short cigar. The strength cuts through any lingering palate-fatigue from the earlier smoke.

Would suggest getting the PerfecDraw Tool but iffin’ you don’t get a whole lotta plugged / tight draw smokes, might not be worth the cost. For me it’s been a cigar saver as I had a bunch of Cuban coronas that had draw issues so the tool came in real handy. Even when a cigar’s draw is okay but I want it looser / more open, I’ll take the Tool to help get it where I prefer. Of course ymmv.


I've looked at them and thought about it and people swear by them but I rarely have a plugged cigar. Usually I can massage a tight draw. I've tried a few times to run a little 1/16" drill bit down with varied results. Maybe someday I'll get one but so far a plugged or tight draw hasn't been enough of a problem to warrant a $30 tool to solve em. That cigar was the first in years that was plugged solid.

Man I had yo go to bed right after that one.

I always kept Cain F lancero around for when I felt like getting kicked in the teeth. This one did that while being tastier. The box was on sale but I grabbed a fiver to try. If I'd bought a box it would take me ages to go through it. Took 10 years to get through the Cain F lancero tubo box.

81579 Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles (red band) with thanks to jakethesnake.

Been kinda avoiding Tat/MF in this hoarding run, so I'm thankful when I get one. My last hoarding run was almost exclusively from MF factory. That's all I smoked for a while. This is a nice familiar face and place after so many new to me cigars. Like coming home after a week long work trip. Had fun, lots of new interesting things, but sometimes you want familiarity.

Big pepper to start, peppers n cream come in with a caramel finish, a nice earthiness and black cherry which may be coming from or accentuated by my Dr Pepper but it's a great cigar, one I've enjoyed many times and continue to love.

Thank you JTS.

81580: La Gloria Cubana Serie R No 5 (Robusto)
This continues to be in my top of the list smokes. I’ve tried one heck of a lot of different brands and blends lately and the LGC Serie R is hanging tough. No, it’s not expensive and no, it’s not boutique. And yes, I’m open minded with cigars I’ve yet to try. It has an excellent construction and burn and it smokes cool. The consistency is remarkable and they punch above their weight in price. Like Danm says, like smoking a $5 stick but only paying $3 (and change).

By my count, we were OK at the start of this page. Adding one put us +1 though. If u look on the previous page a certain post was posted 3 times with wrong counts. I counted that as just one.

A number was doubled twice at the end of the page but the corrector for the 1st one overcorrected and added 2 which ended up proactively correcting the 2nd duplicate.

81584 Warped Cloud Hopper with thanks to jakethesnake

First light a bit dry, nutty/woody. Started off with an uneven burn but there's a small crack in the wrapper I thunk once that's cleared and touched up well be fine. Draw is perfect smoke production perfect I don't think it's a construction issue. The dryness subsides an inch in, lots of aromatic spice and a nice rich texture in my mouth. Burn did correct once past the crack and touched up.

I didn't care for warped 5-6 years ago and never revisited. But this go round they've really been doing it for me. This one's excellent, I think I may mark it as box worthy. That's 2 of the last 3 warped I've tried that are box worthy. I think my preferences have been leaning more towards old style cigars where last time I was all about the more big pepper bombs. And the warped Chinchalle that I felt was too harsh and astringent I think was a victim of my overhumidified bulk singles storage and I'm going to give it another shot next time I get a fiver on sale.

Thank you JTS for another box worthy cigar.

Another “cheap” cigar that is tasty and reliable. I love the Indonesian wrapper and the Sumatra blend is different but equally cheap and satisfying. You can get the easily @ $2.5 per, right here on CB.

I agree e Toker. I counted those three from mraia as one post and had us on track for the start of this page, are now +1.

That's what I know. However,

Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.

81591 Undercrown shade toro. Blind bought two boxes of these. Don't think I've had one before. If I had, I don't remember it. There were 9 in this box either I sent one out or I did try one. Also don't remember why I bought two boxes...

First light kinda grassy. Big black pepper on retro, wide open draw. Hopefully there's more to it than this.

First ash drop not much changed. Wide open draw and boring cigar got me smoking it fast. Some burnt marshmallows in there. Very very peppery. Pretty much stayed in that lane till halfway when I tossed it. I like CT shade when there's something else going on in there but this is just pepper n marshmallows to me.

If anyone really like UC shade, I'll gladly trade these off. I either have 18 or 19, gotta see if I moved one to my desktop or if I sent one out. I'm not gonna burn through two boxes of these.

81592 (not a repeat but a correction for the last page; all appeals denied): Punch Gran Puro
This blend has been a little hit-and-miss and this stick was a little hit-and-miss. Starts off peppery and that fades in first inch. Then first third is lightly creamy when you can find it with hints of mild leather. The middle third the same but introduces that salty twang that I love but precious little of it. I tasted an undeniable hit of cinnamon on a few retrohales in second third and that’s the first time I can remember having a definite hit of cinnamon ever in a cigar. The last third is always the same on this blend for me, cool smoking but an unpleasant bitterness, harsh smoke and no break out flavor. I will continue to smoke the older Punch blends, especially those tasty dark little Corona vitolas, but this Honduran Puro I will not purchase again.

81593 Fugazi compare to Tatuaje Miami. I'm shocked this cigar can draw at all it is rock hard zero give anywhere along its length. It has a firm draw but not much effort to get thick smoke just draw slowly.

I dont think I've had tat Miami, so I have nothing to compare it to. However my experience with these is not to evaluate them the way they're advertised, but as a standalone cigar line. I've had a few that were bad, a few decent and a few good.

First light has a big pepper blast but that went away within a half inch. Already not a tat. Burn is sharp, draw is tight. There's a weird spice in there I can't identify but it makes me think of being around my grandparents and their old friends when I was a child. Not a bad note, just very unique. I honestly struggle to describe this cigar. It's bizarre. There is a faint hint of PB Blaster on the finish but I love that smell. Texture is creamy and astringent at the same time. Leathery, almonds, a dry fruit sweet note. Pepper came back with cayenne after 2 ash drops without any. Stings a bit. This cigar is like a what flavor is Dr Pepper question. It's got all of them and going in no particular direction either. Just a weird cigar. It's decent, I kinda like it even though I don't want to. But it's way out there.

These Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapped cigars are terrific for me. They’re supposed to be full strength / body but I think they are upper end medium. They begin with lots of cedar and leather and the last third smokes cool, the cedar and leather fade to almost unnoticeable, but the smoke takes on a creamy texture right to the nub. And they’re cheap. I know that’s anathema in some circles but I don’t care. If it’s cheap and I like the flavor, Imma smoke it.
