Partagas D4. This is one thing in life that never fails.
It is the quintessential robusto.

I'm just trying a bit of a generic English mixture that a friend brought me and using it in my smooth finished lumberjack. The tobacco is complex and has a hint of latakia. The lumberjack is a simple and elegant pipe I bought at a tobacconist shop in Winchester for $26 out of a bargin bin.
Whenever I use it in public, I get smiles and nods from the old fellows, and young kids telling me I look like Mr. Holmes. I'll take that as a compliment.
Partagas E2 .
I find that a lot of smaller Cuban brands got a lot more exposure though the regional series. I do not think I tried Por Laranaga until I came across one of the German regional cigars. Juan Lopes no. 2 was always a solid cigar. Perhaps the fact the duty free shops stick to a few well known brands also contribute to poor exposure of a less known cigars. Last night Montecristo Open Eagle.A good choice though one that not many even try.
I had a Juan Lopez no. 2. Another brand few try but one that is just as good as many other similar choices. Good thing I am mentioning it here so no one will ever know.

Reminds me of a time I bought straight Perique from a local tobacco shop. Suffice it to say that that stuff should not be smoked straight. I don't like getting stoned from my pipe tobacco. STRONG.
Straight Perique, wel very strong indeed... It's (as far as i know) indeed not ment to be smoked pure... But for me, i do like some of it in my pipetobacco.
At this moment i'm enjoying Dunhill's Nightcap in a Big Ben Calabash.
And a nice glass of martini.
Haha, Well I must admit, I tried pure Burley and pure Oriental once. Also not recommended LOL
Perique? I like it, but just like latakia, I use it as a seasoning, not the main course. A bit too strong for a straight smoke.
