Let's fill the air with some fine blue smoke!

 

mostly Tenders Of The Leaf out here

 

My old van used to do that, does that count?

 

Nah... wrong kind of smoke.

 

I'm here bro....

In fact enjoying a Romeo y Julieta currently !!

 

One of my favorite brands. Always reliable. Lately I've been touring the many maduros on the market. Tonight's was a Cohiba Black corona.

 

You like the full flavor brands, eh??

The Romeo J I mentioned was a Habana Reserve Corona. Quite nice and worth the money, IMO.

I move across the spectrum. Really depends on the specific maker and role, however. I've had some that have a nice aroma and mild-med flavor, but still are bitter. And I hate that.

I do tend to lean to the Maduro and Camaroon wrapper mostly. But also some of the newer Liguero are quite nice. I think one made by Hansotia is ALL liguero, but it's hard to find, sometimes.

I purchase a lot from mail order houses. And besides my "usual" order, I take advantage of the bundled specials that suppliers sometimes have. That way I can try new "stuff" kind of on the cheap.

Long ashes to ya, Bro....

 

Long ash greetings back to you, Snoop.

Yeah, I prefer the more full-bodied sticks but not ones that are so heavy in nicotine that they make you turn green around the gills! I recently came into some AF Work of Art Maduro's that are not costly but are extremely hard to find. I've only smoked one but it was as pleasant a smoke as I've had in a long time. Definitely full-bodied but smooth and flavorful. I think the perfecto shape has a lot to do with that. Been favoring the Padilla brand as well. Again, not that easy to find but worth it when you do.

I haven't bought mail order for years, but I saw some nice bundles in the latest Thompson catalog that I may order. I used to buy from them about 30 years ago and was always content with their house brands for an everyday smoke, so I may give them another try to see if they still can do it for me.
