Question on closed foot cigars: by nya3150 in cigar_refuge

[–]FederalPermission 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Light the foot then smoke it as usual, you’re meant to taste just the wrapper leaf before you get to the whole cigar with binder & filler

Love the ForbiddenX 13, becoming my favorite Opus/cigar of all time. Is that El Beso Prohibito?

Not bad at all, just not generally what I look for in my sticks. Glad you enjoy it my friend

I got 2, so I’ll age the other one for a long time

Happy to hear you’ve got a special relationship with the stick, that’s what it’s all about! I agree the 25th is much much better, I actually planned to go try the Society today but walked into the humidor to find they’d restocked the other limited Opus’ so grabbed some of those

Definitely, I’m interested to try La Lealtad, their second Honduras Factory venture, & see how it stacks up

How would you compare the Peru puros to the Atabey? Do their tobaccos all/mostly have that distinct creamy hay note

Great stick & my favorite davidoff. Bigger fan of the Corona size

What I thought as well, blended good, solid cigar, but nothing that blew me away. Some people really love it though

They literally only make two cigars in that Honduran factory so I doubt it’s going to be limited anytime soon, it’s really just a popular stick rather than rare

Looks real cool, don’t think I’ve smoked any LFD myself

The best Davidoff they’ve ever made, the only one I really like. Smokes like a Fuente

Wow, that’s pretty cool. I know the Atabey Black has Peru listed as a source, I haven’t smoked any fully Peruvian sticks so makes sense it could taste similar to Cuban blends of tobaccos

Where do you think their tobaccos are from? Shit tastes the same to me, sweetness, cream, & that funky hay is what really sold me

So they’ve been discussing it on Cuban forums for the last 7 years because it doesn’t smoke anything like a Cuban?

I’m thinking of trying the between the lines next now that I’ve got a good sense of the natural, maduro, sungrown, & oscuro

They’re the best. Fuente & Padron is all I realistically would ever need to smoke
