What Cigar are you smoking? (2026)

[The Haroo ln]

Aj fernandez blend 15 robusto. Used to smoke the short robusto a few years back when i could get a pack of 15 for £88 ($116). Really nice 40 min smoke especially for the price point. Now, sadly these have gone up to £170 ($225)

Suppose I have been growing fond of the smaller vitolas these days but I bought some Independence Day "Firecracker" cigars getting in the mood for this most extraordinary American Summer. Yes there is a twist off of the cap that makes it look like the fuse of a firecracker. Its clever and it was the perfect size while grilling brats and hotdogs for my son's 2nd Birthday party. I was surprised how well the construction and flavor were for a sort of "novelty" smoke.

Another hand roll. Connecticut broadleaf ligero, Pennsylvania broadleaf ligero, and Nicaraguan Condega ligero for the filler. Mexican San Andres for the binder. Habano Oscuro for the wrapper. High end of Med-full. More of a savory flavor profile versus my other blends. Leather, light black pepper spice, peanuts, slightly salty, light Carmel notes. Very chewy smoke. The Condega is the main change. I've made blends predominantly with Condega and have notices they produce more dry and savory profiles. This blend would go well with a black coffee.

Enjoyed a my father no1 robusto. The original my father line. Heavenly smoke as the temps dropped down in the evening to around 26°C from 34°c. Still hot but there was a lovely breeze. I was sat opposite my almost ready to harvest CB plants and my nearly finished shade structure.

My wife was sat opposite me and my 2 year old daughter was roaming around. It was on of those beautiful moments that will become a story that i will narrate to the kids (maybe even grandkids) later on in life should god grant me life that long!
.... beautiful memories

Another hand roll experiment. Connecticut broadleaf, PA broadleaf, Dom. Croillo 98 and a full leaf of MSA for the filler, MSA for the binder, and a Nicaraguan natural wrapper that I assume is Criollo 98 seed. Starts off with a typical Nicaraguan spice and nuttiness but with a big chocolate punch after a few puffs. The spice becomes more of a cinnamon/allspice with a creaminess. In the last third, the baking spice notes ramp up with the chocolate becoming more of a cocoa powder and an addition of a mineral heavy earthiness comes in as a base note. I attribute this to the extra Mexican San Andres leaf added. The baking spice and earthiness is interesting because I generally only get that from Dominican Piloto leaf. This stick reminds me of Drew Estates Maduro Undercrown. No picture this time.
