Usually figurados are made by the more experienced rollers, so you can expect a high quality cigar. Greetings from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹...always on point Mazz 👍

I heard a story, it was Arturo Fuente who first designed the figurado back in the day for Ernest Hemingway while they were both deep sea fishing for gargantuan sailfish off the coast of South America. Story went, while fishing, Ernest was getting frustrated trying to light his cigar on a windy day out at sea and burning through a lot of matches. Frustrated, he turns to Arturo and essentially asks if he can make a cigar that he can easily light with a match - the figurado was born. Another GREAT vid Anthony - tku.

Gotta say I’ve never had a bad quality Fuente. Always smooth, always consistent, and a ton of good mild all the way to strong cigars to fit any palette.

Anthony, I have to admit that I rather prefer the Padron 80 year over the 1964 Anniversary. A far better smoke and smoothness when I need to forget about the day. Now LFD is my GOTO brand. Between the Airbender and the Capitulo. I'm in heaven smoking either one of these figurado's. Those Bulls sitting in the box on the shelve looked tasty !!
@boyerstudios4 ай бұрын
Completely agree about the Padron 80th. Thai is my favorite cigar. But now you have me very interested in the LTD brand. I’ll be trying the particular cigars you talked about.

I have to agree with A.F. for sure it makes a lot of different Figurados, my favourite is Anejo No.77 Shark. My first Figurado was Montecristo No.2 have some fond memories with this cigar, even served as a celebration cigar for me. Happy to see Ashton VSG Enchantment up there in the list. I have smoked a lot of chisels, there is a German Brand called Dalay which makes a shade and a maduro chisel using DR tobacco and is very affordable, maduro Chisel used to be a daily morning smoke for a while I have tried various cuts on it and settled down with pinching method on this, also a punch cut on the upper chisel side is worth the try if someone wants a more cooler smoke also it hits the mouth roof first by this method.

My wife and I just smoked the Alec Bradley Magic Toast from your recommendation. Dang. Wife and I have added it to our pile in the humidor. I like the leather notes. Remind me of my baseball days when I would chew on the leather of my ball glove waiting for a ball hit to me. Great cigar

Great video. Greater topic! I really love figurado cigars. There's just something old skool about the style and shape that I like. At the moment I have a few Hemingway short story, Hamlet Salomon and a single Davidoff aniversario perfecto in the humidor. I did have a box of Oliva V Melanio, held onto them as long as I could...got me through covid lockdown tho 🤷♂️
@donmcknight52735 ай бұрын
Wow you nailed that. The Bull, Anejo, 80th and Ashton Esg are all in my top 10. The VSG is also amazing. But though not a figurative, I prefer the Sorcerer. You also look how we all want to look when we smoke. Well done.

You explained the Figurado and Perfecto differences well, I still don't know what the hell the difference is though 🤣
@maverickskywalker57135 ай бұрын
Figurado in general is any cigar which is not uniform/Straight from head to foot. Example: Perfecto, Torpedo, diadema, pyramid... Perfecto falls in the category of Figurado as it is tapered on each side. The only difference in that figurado is a general Category to label any cigar that is not uniform/straight, Perfecto is an Actual shape name under the category of Figurado. What is not a figurado? Robusto, Corona, Toro, Churchill, Double Corona, Gordo.... all of this has a uniform ring gauge from head to foot so they are not a figurado. I hope this helps.

These are Rib eye steaks of Cigars. Some are topped with, Hollindaise. 1926 is a pungent bomb. Not for a novice; definitely a smoke to be seated, and pair with a beverage. VSG Enchantment has been added to my try next list. A more opulent, Short Story Maduro; probably. Very good selection, and recommendations. Some mentioned here im yet to try.

@metalneanderthal20 күн бұрын
Ill be honest, anything other than a straight cigar I pass on if I can. Why? Ive had more draw issues with perfectos, Figuratos etc. even torpedoes. Plus those special roles add 20% to the price of the exact same width and length of the same cigar in just a traditional straight capped style. They just aren’t worth the extra cost and can add smoking frustration. Also you burn away more of the actual length of the cigar before it actually gets to it true profile. Feunte is the only one Ive had very little issues with and Ill openly praise. The ESG is one of my absolute favorites however I don’t have the wallet to make it my monthly stick. It a few times a year stick. Feunte is goat of cigars in general in my opinion. Padron is a close second.

In a previous video, you stressed the importance of asking questions. So, I'm going to ask a question that probably makes you sick to even think about, but I have seen countless people buy cigars, and never light them. Instead, they kind of just leave it in their mouth, and eventually spit, like the cigar was smokeless tobacco (dip, not loose leaf Levi Garrett stuff). My question is: Why do people do this? They even carry a spitter with them, but if I want dip, I get dip. Why do people buy cigars if they are just going to chew on it?
@holtscigars5 ай бұрын
Absolutely, never hold back questions! There's a small number of people who enjoy chewing on their cigars rather than smoking them, simple as that. Needless to say, it's not something we recommend 😂
