Smoking my first 1926

[IgwanaRob]

Boring semi-cool Sunday, and I don't feel like cleaning like I planned on just yet. So I decided to take a cup of coffe and a new cigar outside for a bit. Picked the Padron '26 maddie that's been mocking me everytime I opened the humi over the past week. I'll teach you to mock me!

So, I just took a little off the top and fired up the Blazerized Zippo, and with the initial draw I'm hooked. Can't type anymore, must smoke...

Update:

Ash is at about 2 inches, and refuses to come off (even in the wind!)

This thing is creamier than the coffee I'm barely touching. I think I'm in trouble...


(edited for spelling errors - I'm swimming here, can you blame me )

 

[IgwanaRob]

Ash fell off at about 2½".

Wrapper is starting to split, I think I'm smoking it too fast. Thankfully, it's right at the ash line, so it should be fine.

Good thing is, I still have one of these sitting in the humi. :love:
Bad thing is, I only have one of these sitting in the humi.

 

[IgwanaRob]

Another 2" of ash falls, and I realize I only have about an inch and a half of smokable heaven left...

 

[IgwanaRob]

Nubbed!


Look at that beautiful smoke whispering off the nub.



This thing was so friggin delicious that I smoked it until the ash started coming out of the head! (notice the grey ash starting to come through the middle!)


So now I'm sitting here shaking in delight. If I smoked cigarettes, now would be the time :love:

Opus who?

You sir are an evil temptress. Sounds like you had a delicigasam.

 

[AVB]

Great. Now there’s more competition for a limited supply.


I think you'll be looking for more soon

Those 26's are the sheet! I find myself saving those over my ISOM's. I just picked up some No.2's. I'll have to hold on to the No.2 until I am on vacation down by the beach next week.

Damn you. I have 4 and I have never had one. I guess today is as good as any other day

Smoked my first 1926 this week also, definately lived up to the hype. Now I need more, have 2-26's and 3-64's in the humi and I dont think they will make it past this month.

Try a 26, 40th Anni. Torp.
Now that's the sheet.................

 

[wicked stick]

Wow I just got one I will try on tuesady. Sounds to good for me. So many new smokes can't smoke them all But I will try.. :laugh:

 

[pittesq]

Definitely one of my favorites. I have a couple torpedos that I just haven't had the heart to smoke yet.

 

[symyn]

Very nice draw, the taste lived up to the hype, the burn was even throughout, had about a 2 inch ash All in all can't wait to get my lips around the other 3 (just not at the same time)
