Asking the cigar smoking community on hexbear, what are your favourites? How you usually enjoy them and perhaps with what?
I personally don’t smoke that much, like to get a good one(be that Romeo and Juliet or other brand, don’t really have big preferences, much just the quality of it and Cuban origin) and then smoke it trough a hike. Goes nice together while sightseeing.
No worries at all! The last couple of weeks were a tough time for me too, honestly.
But I’m glad you tried it and enjoyed it! I hope it helped you relax. I’ve coincidentally been smoking at least one 858 a day lately. Beautiful cigars.
That is actually a good observation on your part though. I don’t know if I mentioned it above, I don’t want to reread my ramblings, but I usually always drink water with a new cigar or rare cigar. Mostly because a whisky (as much as I love them) will drown out the taste of cigars for me and doing that with a rare or expensive cigar is a waste, but also because sometimes a cigar and whisky will hit harshly and you never know until you smoke the cigar first. Also, the second observation you made is a really popular one. You probably know from smoking before, but many, many people smoke cigars with something sweet. Soda, lemonade, and so on. The sugar in the drink counteracts the strength of the nicotine in the cigar so it’s a common tactic to soften a cigar and avoid nicotine sickness. I don’t do that as much because I’m ironically very sensitive to sugar and I don’t drink many sugary drinks but it’s very popular to do so and scientifically supported. Some prefer it. Maybe pair whichever cigar you try next with a sugary drink again and you’ll enjoy it more.
I’m really glad you liked both though! Out of curiosity, what was the second cigar? Maybe I can make another recommendation based off it.
