jkittlesen 351 Posted May 4, 2018 Author Share Posted May 4, 2018 Okay, tonight I smoked two Fuentes, both had a similar profile. Hemingway Short Story and a Chateau Natural, I had a friend recommend while smoking the first with my bourbon, take a few chips of dark chocolate ....let it melt on your tongue, then smoke. It was really nice.

It was really nice. Give it a try! So you didn't answer my question, but based on my knowledge of Fuentes your "Current" flavor profile leans more toward woody flavors, specifically cedar & oak. I say "currently" because your flavor profile will change the more cigars you try. So my recommendations are based on mild strength, med-full bodied flavor with woody notes, specifically cedar & oak. Crowned Heads JD Howard Reserve Crux Ninfamaniac Diamond Crown La Palina Red Label George Rico Zulu Zulu Connecticut 262 Paradigm Blanco NINE Warped La Colmena Tatuaje MIAMI Brown Label- Maybe more med-strength, but good example of the style If you really want to explore the extreme woody flavors the fire cured cigars are worth a shot. Listed from least smoked wood to most intense flavor. George A.

StogiesnotBogeys 15 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Try as much variety as humanly possible. I smoke around 3-4 cigars per day, and have been at it for almost 20 years. Here's the one thing I know... Show me the man who calls himself an aficionado, and I will show you a douchebag. 1 Quote Ping G400 9.5Callaway XR16 4W Callaway Rogue 3H, 4H, 5H Callaway Rogue 6-P Callaway Forged 50, 54, 58 Odyssey 7S Link to post Share on other sites
Headhammer 1,738 Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Not to pick a fight, but I consider myself a cigar aficionado, does that mean I'm a "douchebag"?

LittleWalter 36 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 (edited) If the Kuba Kuba (which I like) is too flavored but you still like flavor, take a look at The Upsetters. Their Original Rude Boy is bold with some flavor as well. It will take a moment to smoke because it's a 60-ring. One of my current go-to cigars is the Zola, also by the Upsetters. It's a bit smaller (52) but a great smoke for me. if you like the Acid brand, take a look at the Cigar Legends by Drew Estate from Cigars International. At around $100 for a box of 20, they're a bargain.
