Best smells in cigars

10-15-2011, 08:24 AM

What are some of the best smells or your most favorite aroma when you smoke a cigar??

for me I love the smell of an Opus wrapper.

Also enjoy the smell of a Tatuaje Black when it is being lit and a Padron's Anniversary's aroma while burning.

What say you inmates???

Hmmm...interesting question that I have not seen. I agree on Padron, but then again, they are my favorites. I like the smell of sumatra wrappers too.

On the flip side, I HATE they vegetal smells in some cigars. The older Camacho habano (habana?) with the red/gold band comes to mind. The smell alone makes me gag.

I love coffee and chocolate aromas. Smoked my very first Liga Privada #9 last night and loved the smell of the stick before lit and while burning. Best smoke I have ever had since I began smoking about a year ago.

Another vote for sumatra. I love the smell of the Oliva G.

I concur

Padron 26s always smell amazing to me, but they smoke kind of underwhelming. 64s smell and taste fantastic on the other hand

I have some NHC EL 01's that smell just like a dark chocolate bar!!

Fordman4ever · 10-15-2011, 04:36 PM

The smell of opening a humidor is the best thing ever. I also love the smell of all Tats that I have had.

Nothing like the first whiff of an open cooler full.

Nothing better than the smell of the first time you open a box of Cohiba Lanceros.

shilala · 10-15-2011, 05:58 PM

I love the smell when I open my winador or crack a new box and sniff that first cigar. My particular favorite are when they smell seet and earthy. So good!!!

The Illusione mj12 I smoked yesterday had a pleasant smell while burning. Don't recall what it reminded me of but I remember thinking it was more enjoyable than most. Also agree with the smell of opening the humidor...love that one.

alexa071 · 10-20-2011, 04:31 AM

I think Bill Clinton figured out how to combine his two favorite smells... just sayin...

For me it is definitely the smell of the cedar/tobacco when opening my humidor. You think they would consider bottling that into some sort of cologne?

irratebass · 10-20-2011, 04:38 AM

I also agree with the smell when opening my humi, but I also have an empty box of LFD Double Ligero that I got from my local B&M which I use for my accessories and cigar bands, that just smells heavenly, I need to track down some of these smokes.

cao brazilia
liga privada
...both give me very strong coco/coffee smell... very intoxicating...

Dunkel · 10-20-2011, 06:19 AM

The smell of Spanish Cedar in a humidor or cooler is intoxicating. A 601 Blue with some age on it smells delicious!
