Today's Smoke 2025

Holy crap this is awesome! Sent to me by a friend on a wet shaving forum. Let it be noted Don (Jose) Peppin (Garcia) doesn’t make any bad cigars. I state that as a categorical. But some are better than others and if you have not tried a Flor de las Antillas, treat yourself. Toro, lightly box-pressed, 6x50. Sublime. IMG_7852.jpegIMG_7853.jpeg
 
Caldwell Eastern Standard, thanks Michael @cohibasurfer!

This is a nice stick. Fairly complex, smooth, easy smoke, terrific construction. A bit heavy on the cedar flavor (CT wrapper syndrome, even though this one says it's a hybrid of some kind) but packs some spice and pepper underneath it to keep it interesting.

‘02 Cohiba Reservas Coronas Especiales - 23 years in my humidor and still strong, full, rich classic aged Cohiba flavors. Standouts were pecans, praline & layers upon layers of that wonderous Cohiba vanilla. So sweet & creamy - sipped slow & easy to savor every puff. 90 minutes and still too short.
