Looks like a chisellito yep! I picked up an LG Litto Gomez 2015 chisel...plan on having that one later today.

Not impressed with the taste on this one for $13 bucks

Yikes. What’s the name? I don’t recognize it. That Jack Daniels looks good though!

I’m about 20 minutes into it and definitely feeling the spices. Not as strong as I anticipated but I did have a hot meal recently.

I’m anticipating the rest will be delicious. Great aroma too.

On the opposite side of the spectrum this is a larger LFD. I’m not sure if I have a wrapper issue but having a hard time drawing down on it.

This MF is going down real good.

The Litto Gomez 2015 Chisel was great, started out on the strong side but quickly mellowed out. Really good flavor, nice smoke.

Tonight we’ve got something new. Bugatti.

The band has a slippery texture to it that’s fun to play with.

I’m honestly finding it to be quite mild which surprised me a bit. That might change. I don’t think I’ll make a decision on this tonight and will have to try another one. It’s definitely worth another visit so far.

It’s about an $8 stick.

These are my smoke of choice

Having a Padron tonight. For $10 it’s a little over rated.

That’s the Dimaso...not a fan. The 1964 or 1926 anniversario is what I enjoy. Tonight I have these to choose from.

Looks very similar to the single barrel I’ve been drinking. Haven’t sampled anything above this. I have access to just about anything I want with Total Wine down the street.

It’s the barrel proof bottle, yes I got at Total Wine out here, go grab one as loved it

Okay time to get back on topic (although I'm just drinking light beer tonight, too much pumpkin beer recently)

I'm really liking this Perdomo it's a good garden cigar at a good price. Really mild with a little spice. I might have to pick up a box of these soon. Something good to puff on this winter while snow blowing which I don't even want to think about now.

Picked up a new cutter last night too....

Enjoying this delicious Punch Diablo. Lots of strong flavors.

"Wild Wild West", or "Lariat"?

I have really been enjoying these Project 40s. Cheap which is a bonus.

WWW

I normally smoke in the garage and this WWW is way too musty to bring inside. I’ve hit it 3 times with the deionizer and it’s almost satisfying enough to bring inside.

This is my second WWW and I’ve never played one before. Other was a project I never got working. This is a keeper.

I might have to propose a trade amongst my current lineup of sticks seeing you are close by.

DavidLee back patio this evening a stronger Macanudo after rebuilding flippers on his WCS plays great! Dirty hands you can tell they’ve been fixing things

Had to give that Bugatti another try. A little less impressed the second time around but I think I’ll be back for it again sometime.

These Don Carlos are a new one for me, really liking these. It’s a great cigar and not too pricey.

Having my second LFD airbender and not feeling it this second time around. Surprised because I’m enjoying their others. I think this one I’ll stop buying for awhile.

Doing something a little unique tonight.

Perdomo has a line that you pair a certain beer with. I’m doing dark stouts tonight. Honestly this smoke does well on its own merits and would have without a beverage or even a Coke. But they do pair up well as the taste buds compliment themselves.

I would rate the smoke on the high end of your budget cigars although this is a $7 stick.

EJS is single handedly keeping this thread alive! Keep it up man! I enjoy coming back to this thread to see what sticks people are enjoying.

Last two times I’ve stopped to buy smokes I think less of what I have enjoyed in the past but more so what can I entertain Pinside with that I haven’t tried before. I’ve had a few repeats recently too.

I don’t think I’m qualified to expertly review cigars but can try to get the point across....hey this one is great....this one not so much.

I used to buy online by the box but the guy I found in WI sells competitively compared to online.

My second try at My Father the Judge. Just as good as the first time around and will keep this in rotation. It’s towards the middle of my price point so I’ll be visiting it every now and again.

Still one of my favorites since discovered Corojo #5 Gran Habano.

6D3CEC73-F9AB-42CF-A581-2EE7C9AB34F0 (resized).jpeg

Tonight’s treat is a Rocky Patel which is a favorite around here. This one is new to me their Grand Reserve. It’s quite delicious and the price sticker isn’t on here so I’m not sure what I paid for it. This one is rather....sweet in flavor but isn’t a flavored smoke (good thing).

Tomorrow will likely be another visit to the smoke shop as I’m down to one more stick a “regular” LFD which I’m looking forward to.

Taking it easy tonight just having a Coors Light.

Once again I’m doing a Bugatti and we’ve got a Macanudo Insparado burning in the background.

CBFC932D-1916-48DD-A959-6A18E7CAEC07 (resized).jpeg

Double feature for me tonight.

Here is a Perdomo small batch. This I’m going to have to smoke slow since the full length is what you see right here. Pretty rich in flavor but too small of a smoke for my general preference.

C791FC3B-95E9-4B63-938D-B0BC9938E4AD (resized).jpeg

Nice looking place!! I really don’t recall having any of the My Father line, maybe one stick years ago. Gotta give them a try, what is the one you recommend most?

The Gran Habano Corojo #5 is listed as a full-bodied smoke, but I've always thought it was more medium. A favorite of mine as well.

Tonight we’ve got another MF The Judge in the background and I’m smoking another Perdomo.

Later this week I’ll be trying the beer pairing cigars made for other beers.

LFD Suave. My first time with this and it definitely lives up to its name. Really easy draw and a lighter smoke. Still getting that good LFD flavor.

It’s going to be a long night....

My cutter struggled to gnaw away at this 70 x 7 Asylum 13 Oblongata.

So far I’m feeling this is going to be a garden cigar. Pretty mild and easy going. This was recommended by someone at the shop I go to and it appears they make sticks in all shapes and sizes. I will probably try something mas maduro next time by them.

Nice to know, it just always burns good and nice flavor for me since I discovered for price. I have not seen anyone else post them in here but I always will. Red label my favorite by them. This deal just popped up at my store, 5.25 x 54 smaller size than my 6 x 60 but think I will try. Claims MSRP $165 but sale is $69.95 for 16 cigar sampler, what you think?

Time for a Perdomo Factory Tour....blend.

Wish I was at the factory.

This LFD Capitulo II chisel is really smoking nice, great flavors.

The black barrel is a nice pour. I am not an RP fan but haven’t actually smoked one in many years. Maybe I will have to give his cigars another look.

A Cuban H. Upmann with my coffee today. This entire box is plugged which sucks but the flavor is nice so I am unplugging my way thru them.

75B91197-777D-43F0-9024-F1E0AF5FBA3B (resized).jpeg

I have found they are hit and miss. I was into their “Prodigy” for awhile bought a couple boxes. For Vintages I wouldn’t do anything newer than 2000.
