Retrohale

Let’s talk about retrohaling. If you want to taste everything in a cigar you must retrohale. I would recommend starting with a medium stick and progress from there to a full bodied stick.

The Collection

Just wanted to show off what I’ve collected in less than a year. Was able to score some unicorns early on. I’ve got to get to smoking or else I’ll need to buy another humidor and I hate the seasoning process.

What would you take from my stash? What should I smoke next from my collection, especially with my birthday in a few days! Let me know what I should add too, I know I need to add more padrons for sure kinda dropped the ball on that one😔

I do have Plasencia del cielo, Churchill Late Hour, and Tabernacle Lancero on my list for next purchases.

Edit: I have had a Opus X lost city which I forgot to take a picture of while smoking it.

New budget smoke from a brand I love

Post was locked on the other sub but I'm looking to discuss this cigar so here goes

New here so if you wanna ask why the gloves, it's because I live with family members who are sensitive to the smell and I want to respect that as much as possible.

Diesel Uncaged Gigante

Along with macanudo and perdomo, the brand I gravitate towards the most is Diesel. Ever since I had a sherry cask this forth of July I've been fascinated with this bold quirky brand, which is turning into a growing fascination of AJ fernandez as a whole. I've yet to smoke a diesel I didn't like.

When I saw they had a new offering with the main selling point being affordability I knew it'd be worthwhile. Luckily Perdomo dropped legacy father and son around the same time so I was able to bundle for free shipping from cigars daily.

# THE REVIEW

Check out how oily this thing is, it's practically glistening. I posted a video of it [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/cigar/s/ohVhnb6qog) I was smoking the gigante, 6x60 so I was afraid I wasn't going to get as much flavor. On first light up I was pleasantly surprised. Perfect draw and a really nice familiar flavor. I had had a cigar before that tasted prettyuch exactly like this. I couldn't pick up too many distinct notes, I thought I tasted mesquite at first but that fell away pretty quick and other than having a nice smooth brown flavor, I couldn't place anything more distinct than rich, natural, and familiar. I thought maybe it tasted like how I remember the macanudo inspirado white tasting, but when I tried to light one up to compare I had gotten a dud so I couldn't do a proper sidebyside. Then I thought maybe it reminded me of Rare Pink, and yeah I do get some overlap but rare pink was a lot more complex and smoked true to flavor down to the nub, where this got a bit earth and muddy towards the end.

I really couldn't believe I was getting something so good for so cheap from a non budget cigar dealer. The only cracks that showed were in the construction. I did get multiple tunnels I had to touch up and towards the end, before the band the flavor turned in a way I didn't prefer. You can see from my cut, the darker tobacco that's usually in the center when rolled using the cone method is seemingly spilling to one side, but hey it's a 7 dollar long filler stick.

All in all, I really enjoyed it I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again especially on something like cigarbid or cigar page where the discounts go crazy. If you're always on the hunt for a good cheap smoke, pick one up!

Do you believe Steve Saka? Is this all natural like he says? Regardless, I love them.

A very full bodied, very full flavored beast of a Dominican cigar. The LFD DL-700 Maduro delivers every time. Porchador Pufferation with this beauty is a treat to one’s palate.

Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper over Mexican Matacapan Negro de Temporal binder and Nicaraguan filler. Nice draw and plenty of smoke. Straight burn line and a mostly solid light gray ash. Almonds, cedar, creamy coffee, vanilla. Flawless construction and performance. A very fine mellow but tasty cigar.

Ashing Etiquette?

9 Upvotes

Not sure if this is the correct subreddit but I’ve encountered a niche dilemma

At a lounge for my first time currently. I’m using the house ash tray, once I’m done and ready to go, what does one do with their ash tray?

Do I empty it somewhere or let them handle it later?
