What is your Recovery cigar?

[Gemini_Man]

Whether it's a sinus or respiratory issue, head cold or worse, you haven't been able to truly enjoy a cigar for a period of time...what are you lighting up the day you feel well enough to get back to enjoying your cigars?

Personally, I find my return to smoking leaves my palate a little dumber than it was before I was forced to take a break. I feel the need to have a few burner cigars just to reactivate my senses fully. Anyone else have to reorient themselves first before justifying a favorite or more expensive stick being lit?

Not exactly your question, but I have always had a personal tradition of smoking a Punch DC when hungover. It’s like my cigar version of a blanket and comfort food. Luckily, I do not get many hangovers these days as I have cut back on the booze. I still find plenty of other excuses to smoke Punch DCs.

Magnum 54 is my blanket these days. Gingerbread house.

54 would be too much effort on my jaw if hung over, but the flavor profile on a Mag 54 100%!!!

JL2. It's my baseline. If, after being sick, I can taste well when smoking it, then I'm clear to try my other, more expensive sticks. Made the mistake of hopping into a PSD4 after being sick, and couldn't tell if it was the cigar or me. Won't make that mistake again.
