Zeuss Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Hey everyone! I love cigars that are really able to coat the palate! Just wanted to see what everyone here thinks about what cigars produce a really good amount of smoke. Thanks!
garbandz Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Generally the lit ones,but I am easy to please........... 3
Colt45 Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 For me it's a matter of construction - the ability to draw and burn properly. 2
Zeuss Posted October 25, 2015 Author Posted October 25, 2015 Generally the lit ones,but I am easy to please...........I hear ya! I'm not very picky either but sometimes I am just in a mood for a smoke house! HahaFor me it's a matter of construction - the ability to draw and burn properly.Any recommendations to ones you favor?

The small amount of smoke of a good ERDM demi tasse will coat your palate, while the huge cloud produced by an underfilled Edmundo won't coat anything… 1
Merovius Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Smoked a 2011 Royal Robusto the other day that was smoking like a freight train. CCs dont have the thick viscous smoke like some NCs do. I find the RASS always burn really well. Aging and drying them out can help also.

I just learned something, thank you. Any brands that are just known to produce more smoke output? Not saying they are better than any others. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

garbandz Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 "Any brands that are just known to produce more smoke output?" Poor basis for buying a cigar,and no,there is no marca that stands out. Perhaps you could enjoy your cigars in the midst of a burning pile of leaves........... 1
Fosgate Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 One NC I recall with pillows of smoke and not a bad smoke at all were the Dominican Cohiba Black. Wicked amount of smoke that was enjoyable and tasty but at the price of them I'll buy some CC's that I enjoy more.

Just curious if anyone here had some good cigars that produced a good amount of smoke. I enjoy all types of cigars as well. I haven't had many CC yet but my favorite so far is the psd4 and it doesn't produce a ton of smoke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I as well, try to stay away from NC now if I can get a better CC for similar price Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
CaptainQuintero Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 It's down to construction. You could buy a box of any Cuban cigars and some will produce lots of smoke, some hardly any and some in-between. Some with lots of smoke will taste bad, some with little smoke will taste great and vice versa. 1

Waldschrat Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 ...what impresses me is Padron (1926 or 1964) - in the hand it feels under filled and you expect a quick smoke. In reality it is tons of smoke for a pretty long time. Would love cubans producing such reliable quality....
Smallclub Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 In reality it is tons of smoke for a pretty long time. Would love cubans producing such reliable quality.... Habanos are not supposed to produce "tons of smoke". For centuries people smoked small figurados and thin rg parejos that produce moderate amounts of smoke. The concept of "tons of smoke" is very recent, and I fail to see how it's related to quality. 1
LGC Posted October 25, 2015 Posted October 25, 2015 Force all of the smoke you can through your sinuses on every exhale. That will cure your desire to have a large smoke cloud. 1
kuma Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 You just don't know. I suppose the amount of smoke a cigar gives off can and most likely does relate to anyone of 100 reasons or more. Everything from age of the tabac. to when it was rolled, who rolled it, what kind of tabac, dry / wet tabac, ring gauge, length, foot, marcA, HEAT, humudi., etc, etc, etc., but in the end does it really matter. Some people go so far as see what color the ash is and also the smoke color and I guess that tells them something about that cigar. Anyway just enjoy your smoke and if you are as lucky as we are in terms of a great vendor then you should be fine. 1
sengjc Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 If non-Cubans are ok, try the Liga Privadas (No. 9 or T52) or the Undercrown by Drew Estate. 2
Scrubber Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Just had a SLR Regio which was underfilled and produced tonnes of smoke. Luckily flavours were still good and I enjoyed the stick but I would have preferred a better packed cigar with more intense flavours and less smoke than what I had. Lots of smoke doesn't always equal a good cigar. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1
lakemirror Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 ...what impresses me is Padron (1926 or 1964) - in the hand it feels under filled and you expect a quick smoke. In reality it is tons of smoke for a pretty long time. Would love cubans producing such reliable quality.... This. Exactly this. I had a 1926 torp last night that, when I picked it up out of the dry box, felt light and airy. When I torched it, though, it burned beautifully and produced copious amounts of smoke filled with wonderful flavors. While I agree that a cigar that produces less smoke can still be tasty, I find something very satisfying in drawing in a mouthful of smoke and slowly letting out a massive cloud, which a few minutes later drifts past the flood lights and off into the neighborhood. 1
cigarbreak Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 For CC's I have wondered the same thing and observed (like others have said) that smoke production is not really dependent on the Marca you are exploring. I will say though that you may be luckier with a RASS and maybe Bolivar Royal Coronas, but i think if you really want to get smokey, just puff the cigar more... and that being said, with CC's you may want to consider larger ring gauges which can be more forgiving because you can puff a bit more deeper and frequently without burning the cigar too hot, as opposed to smaller rg's you would want to sip them instead of long deep draws, especially with Cubans. There is something about NC's that for some reason allows you to puff like a madman and not have the same ruining effect on if you were to furiously puff a Cuban cigar. I agree with what another member said too about retrohaling a lot more, which can serve to curb your craving of massive amounts of smoke clouds.
thetek Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 Drew Estate is known for how much smoke their cigars give off, to the point that some people accuse them of adding some kind of oil to their wrappers.
PeterJames Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 This question has so many factors to consider, such as R/H, the condition of the cigar, the quality of the roll and tobacco used etc. I've had cigars in many brands, even from the same box, the burn completely differently, some produce tons of smoke due to a loose roll, and some produce little to no smoke due to a plug, or tight roll. This question has no real answer. You'll have to smoke them and see for yourself, enjoy!
foursite12 Posted October 26, 2015 Posted October 26, 2015 I noticed quite a volume of smoke from an Upmann Magnum 50 recently, for what it's worth. Be careful what you wish for.
