What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[maduro 5]

A cigar lounge would work. I am glad I live in a temperate climate zone.

There is something to be said about ability to smoke outside any time you want and wearing fedora/panama hats year around instead of a beanie..

Getting ready to fill an old Eight-Dot Sasieni Stamford with some Squadron Leader. This is my usual weekend morning smoke.

Hi

I went into the cigar store connected to Jacob's liquor in Wichita on Saturday. I bought 4-5 lancero style cigars. I started with a Candela (green one?) and then a light Manduro / dark Natural wrapper one. They were both good, but the lighter one was better. I'll see if I can figure out from the ring what the brands were.

I popped open a tin of Escudo that has been in my cellar for the past 8 years. It has aged so very well and the figgy aroma of the tobacco is wonderful. I have been smoking it in various Savinelli pipes that have become my go to pipes.

Even if it is cold outside, I smoke inside near the fireplace with a good book. One of the benefits of having a designated smoking room with bar etc.
Last night was a Allones Short Club and an Upmann short corona.

Anyone ever have Peterson SummerTime?
It's my favorite pipe tobacco blend, and everyone appreciates the fragrance.
It may be a little fruity for most, but I like it.

I agree it's good. I find it loses its flavor after halfway through the bowl. I've much better luck with it in smaller pipes packed tight.

Good choice. I have another one my friend gave me to smoke tonight if I decide to go out there and light up the fireplace.

Is the P2 better than the D4?

Is the P2 better than the D4?

P2 is a good cigar but personally for my taste I prefer D4. I like the taste of D4 better than P2 and I like robusto shape cigars and indifferent to piramides. As a daily smoke (excluding all the fancy limitadas, regional series and Siglo VI that are in a class of their own) D4 is one of the better Cuban cigars out there. My 2 cents.

I also like D4 better. The reason being the P2 is milder than expected. When it first came out, I had expected the P2 to be a D4 in pirimides but that's just my wishful thinking, just as I had wished that the Edmundo is a bigger Monte Robusto. LOL. Anyway, this box of P2 has darker wrapper and it is the only box of P2 I have ever bought. However, I do favour the pirimides and torpedos shaped cigars. Unfortunately, some of my favourite brands do not come in those shapes, e.g. Rey del Mundo and Ramon Allones. Tonite was Cuaba Distinguido from also the only box of Cuaba I ever bought.

Good to know. Thanks.
I favor the pirimides too so I understand wanting them to be good.
