Cigar Weekly

TommyBB · 07-09-2020, 07:18 PM

In the vaunted golden days, the first few years of this forum, we often asked each other this question.

For the last, most recent years, we have our "What are you smoking today" threads. I found a few of these today in searching for for information. I sometimes found the "rotation" posts beyond my abilities and thus had a bit of disdain. I had some nasty ideas and a distinct lack of charity at times in those days.

No longer; I look back and remember them now fondly.
In addition, in those days money was tight, as it is now, and SO MANY DAMNED GOOD PEOPLE bombed me into oblivion so often. Winning contests helped me for years. Now, circumstances of life have me away from my home and my family on an almost permanent basis living with my aging mother; and my refuge, now, is my routine of sitting outside every night with a cigar. I am nearly at my wits' end.

So I have been buying cigars a good bit more these days.

Thus, my rotation includes:

Villazon maduro toro and belicoso

Cusano Nicaragua Churchill

Cusano Maduro Churchill

Don Rafael Churchill

Ave Maria Immaculata

Ave Maria Divina

Ave Maria Lionheart

Ave Maria Argentum

Alec Bradley Coyol--although I save these a bit as they don't go on sale as much, but they rock my world right now.

Old Henry

Gran Habano

Carlos Toraño

My buddy Stan sends me smokes and I work these in every few days.
My posting of daily deals also helps me to know what's a good buy and when to pull the trigger.

So, how about you? What's in your rotation?

90% of the time I'm smoking an Oliva MB3 Churchill. Others that I smoke frequently include: Punch Pita Maduro, CAO GOL Brazilia and Samba, Flor de Oliva Gold Churchill, and Punch Rothschild Maduro and Rare Corojo. I smoke others as well, but those are on the "top" of my list and rotation.

Been on a run of Cain F toros and Cain conn. toros. Oliva V lancero also in the mix. Holts always seem to have the Cains on sale when I'm ready to order.

Shadow · 07-10-2020, 10:07 AM

Cane F lanceros and Villizons.

KatDad · 07-10-2020, 10:20 AM

Actually more of an inventory than rotation. Probably a half a dozen additional vitolas present in 1s or 2s:

Ave Maria Clermont (corona)
Ave Maria Knights Templar (toro)
Man O' War Virtue toro
Ramon Bueso Genesis The Project toro
Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Cordoba (corona)
Punch Bareknuckle toro
Punch Bareknuckle robusto
Punch Pita (toro)
Regional Primeros Nicaragua toro
Nicaragua Cream robusto
Nicaragua Cream torpedo
Oliva Serie G Cameroon torpedo
Villazon belicoso (both natural and maduro)
Hoyo de Monterrey Sabrosos (both natural and maduro)
AJ Fernandez New World Cameroon churchill
Finck's Resagos corona
Finck's Muestra AN-7 toro

To be honest, the Ave Marias I purchase in fivers and tenners when they are on sale. So, even though they are in the rotation, I smoke maybe one of each per week at most to save them.

KatDad · 07-10-2020, 12:22 PM

I tend to smoke the value sticks (Regional Primeros Nicaraguan toros and Nicaraguan Cream torpedos and robustos) more often lately because I've got more of them. They're also nice when spaced between the more costly sticks.

CSMAnderson · 07-10-2020, 01:07 PM

Actually I do not have a definite rotation. I look at my collection and choose whatever looks good. It's just whatever suits me at the time.

ak2000 · 07-18-2020, 09:47 AM

Past couple of years I have been smoking either a Black Works Studio Killer Bee Petit Corona or a Cornelius and Anthony Aerial Corona Gorda daily. Since C&A is apparently gone I'll need to find a substitute when I run out of those. Fortunately I got 2 boxes on closeout before they were gone. Otherwise something Warped or something else Black Label Trading fairly regularly.

I forgot to add Mombacho. They're kind of a pain for me to get, but so worth it.
