Now I don't consider myself a true aficionado, but I know what I like. So since we have threads on beer and whiskey, I figured I would start another fun vice conversation.
These are my three go-tos when I want to burn a stick. I'm not an every day or even once a week kinda guy, but when I'm on the road I do enjoy a whiskey and a cigar with friends.
On the left the Plasencia Reserva Original is first up. Mild compared to most that I enjoy, but if you dont want something that will rip your face off, this one pairs well with the more peaty scotch pours I enjoy. Had the pleasure of meeting Nestor Plasencia Jr a while back and there's just something about being around someone so passionate about their family brand that I think helps me enjoy what they produce that much more.
In the middle is the classic brand being represented out of the bunch, the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Rothschild. In my opinion you really can't go wrong with the Gran Reserva line, but when I want something with a little more punch and a shorter burn, the Rothschild hits the spot. Plus anytime I'm in Vegas you can usually catch me at the Fuente Bar at Caesars in the little sitting area at the first table sipping a whiskey and enjoying a burn. Plus it's the best seat in the house to watch jackass influencers fall in the fountain by the escalator trying to get that perfect pic. IYKYK
On the right is probably my favorite to travel with. This one is produced by Warfighter Tobacco company. Vet owned and operated, kick ass dudes that just love living life, and their operation is pretty damn close to where I life. So I naturally have to support them for all of those reasons and then some. This stick is called the Dumpster Fire. I buy them by the brick, hand them out, and every burn is different. Reason being is that they use the trimmings from all of their other cigars as the guts, so no two batches are the same. Plus how can you not love the name and the band on a cigar like that. If you want a cigar that is not a part of the rest of the crowd, I highly encourage you to check them out.
