Dodge Hellcat of the Cigar World?

"You asked me what I'm looking for in a cigar, so I'll tell you.

I drive a Dodge Hellcat. That's exactly how I want my cigars to smoke. I want 'em to hit full stride as fast as they can and stay right there. You can shove complexity up your proverbial. I can't taste marsh fuc**** mallows, toasted almonds or whatever else folks reckon they're finding.I do know what is quality and what is crap. 

I don't want a slow build. I want a cigar that gets to 92 or 93 points, four stars, three fuc**** cherries, or four golden lions in lightning speed and just stays there for the whole damn ride. It can be light, medium or full ,I don't care as long as it quality and damn good. 

You know I smoke CORO but I want all the above without being reemed sans lubricant" 

 

Which cigars are the Dodge Hellcats of the cigar world?   

ones that: 

• Reach their peak within the first few minutes.
• Deliver outstanding flavour almost immediately.
• Hold that level for virtually the entire smoke.
• Never leaves you waiting for it to "come on."

Cuban or New World, all recommendations are welcome.

These are the type of cigars that can be alternatively criticised as one-dimensional. In Habanos cigars, traditionally the advent of time settles the cigar and the flavour/s that the enthusiast is seeking tends to shine down-the-track. An excellent example of this would be the Por Larranaga Petit Coronas and Montecarlos and the Punch Punch. These are the type of cigars that grab you from the get-go and 'stay the track' the whole time. But my ones smoke like this after much time down.

In regards to New World cigars, I would advocate for the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Series. They are very consistent in the construction and flavour delivery. For me, I regularly get that 'sweet hit' at the beginning and then the cigar settles into a solid smoke until the end. The vitola really doesn't matter.

The emailer is describing Marlboro Reds or Lucky Strikes.

I think Cohiba Robusto hits it's stride fairly quickly and even a young one will maintain the quality line throughout. Hoyo De Monterrey San Juan is another, Rio Seco another. They all hit a high water mark very early in the cigar and "hold the line". 

Then again, you could say that about plenty of cigars?   This email did confuse me somewhat. 

Padron 1926 Principe Maddy. Love them for the very reason they hit a very high mark early and stay there.  MOFOH Magnum 44 is another.

I know I have a lot of learning to do but I thought cigar smoking was all about the flavour and complexity that they deliver. Tasting and appreciating the subtle nuances and the transition between thirds. Not a white knuckle, full throttle ride to the death.

RASS is probably the first Cuban that comes to mind for me. When it’s on, it delivers rich, oily flavour almost immediately and doesn’t need half the cigar to wake up. Cohiba Medio Siglo can do something similar in a sweeter, creamier way, but that one rather fails the “without lubricant” requirement. 😄

Dodge Hellcat… hmm… which Cuban cigar is purchased 0% cash down, delinquent payments and gets repossessed..?

Just kidding!!

Strawberry vape.

Upmann No 2 delivers from go.

I don’t know who this bloke is, but please add him to my friends/favorites list.

Thanks,

Guantanamero probably hits you from the get-go with those classic Guan flavors 😆

Sounds like a JFR Lunatic. Straight muscle. Little in the way of refinement.

I read the email thinking he wanted LFD Double Ligero type lineup where it's sheer power. Then he mentioned COROs which seems very mild and complex direction. So I'm totally confused.

No way someone sent you this in an email? Good lord.

And why is it that I feel 95% confident that I can guess this fellow’s ethnicity for some reason? Go figure.

World full of weirdos.

Other comments are spot on. I just wanted to say that I read that email to myself with the voice of Randy Savage and I feel like it fits perfectly. 😂 

[Chas.Alpha]

The CoRo is indeed mighty, as are the Monte 2 and the Upmann 2. Punch Punch are the cloves that grandma always poked too many of in the Christmas ham. BoliBeli’s never cease to impress me from the starting gate.

I still want to be Facebook friends with this bloke!

Partagas Short - the Ariel Atom of cigars. For NCs, Drew Estate Liga Privada No.9 Flying Pig.

And before you say "but they're too short", you drive a Dodge Hellcat so you can't complain about mileage.

CAO Amazon Basin Toro. An absolute Dodge Hellcat of a cigar. 

[BrightonCorgi]

Northern Lights or AK47...

In all seriousness, the Fabrica Canonazo N6 hit full throttle really quick.

Truth. I would add almost any Padron, though the Principe is definitely a favorite. The Magnum 44 is edging everything else out of my daily rotation as the stick I keep coming back to and smoking regularly on repeat. It delivers.

I would add some LFD's like the Cameroon cabinet and the Double Ligero line. Not the most subtle or complex, but they deliver solid flavors right out of the gate and keep on doing it. Drew Estate's Liga Privada 9, T-52 and H-99 would also fit in this slot for me, though with greater complexity that this gentleman won't notice or care about much.

I was of a similar mindset - Coronado by La Flor Double Corona. I won't even touch one unless I've had a 20-24 Oz prime rib with all the fixins. 

Cheers!

Most Padrons. Dark espresso and molasses from giddyap.
