Steak Cigar

[Mystophales]

I admit the LFD knocked me on my butt however the CAO Brazilia made me walk like I was drunk. Maybe it was the newb factor but I swear I felt like I was high...not that I would know what that is like...have a friend that described the feeling...yeah...

I'd have a Litto Gomez Diez ( A Fantastic Smoke )

[awsmith4]

Go with a Camacho Corojo or a Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 for a good puch, the Oliva V also has a kick.

Hmm....

DPG Blue
Tatuaje Cojonu '03 or '06
Habana Leon
Padilla 8&11

Of the strong NC smokes I've had, the best were:
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero
Hansotia (now Gurkha) Ligero 3X
Camacho Coyolar
Camacho Corojo
Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970

However, a great steak dinner & high-octane bourbon do NOT necessarily demand a super-strong heavy-nicotine smoke. You just need (want?) something that will hold its own & complement them. For example, an espresso/molasses/oak profile would work very well for me in this situation. Something like a Trinidad, Punch Gran Puro, Hoyo de Monterrey Dark Sumatra, Maria Mancini or Maria Guerrero. Fuller side of medium in strength, but can hold its own with hearty fare.
Another take would be a coffee/cocoa complement, like Padron x000, Carlos Torano Exodus 1959, Tatuaje P Series or Rocky Patel 1990.

Just another point of view to consider.

Man, I totally forgot about Camacho, those are very good also. I can’t believe I forgot about them, and I’ve been smoking a lot of the Camacho Coyolar Puro Perfecto #1 lately, a short smoke but very tasty. I have yet to try the torpedo size, however, I bet they would fill the bill after a nice steak.

Check out the El Cobre made by Oliva. I promise this will give you all the bite you need and then some.

You could also smoke a Graycliff Double Espresso. They're a very powerful smoke, just may be a little harder for you to find.

I like an Indianhead maduro, Don Thomas Maduro, Helix and several others which will go well with rich food and drink. Though I prefer the larger ring size - its my perception that the larger ring size smokes cooler than the smaller ring size cigars.

Thanks so much guys, I've already ordered a few of some of the above named cigars from a few of the various online vendors, and will follow up on my experiences. I can't wait, and really appreciate the suggestions.

Now one more related question. We've all been talking about big - long lasting full sized smokes. However sometimes after an awsome steak dinner, I've got to rush off and do something with the wife like a ballet, play, movie etc...you know how it is guys. So what could you reccomend in a smaller size, say under a 42 ring or smaller, that would still suffice as a powerfull, but quick smoke.

Thanks again guys, and I've taken everyones advice to heart and made a few resulting puchases.

Have you tried the Camaco 11/18 (Corojo) - Very Tasty, but I am an Opus lover - especially after a steak dinner - Strong cigar, and happ man I will be!

How about a 601 Green Label.

The 601 Oscuro (Green Label) comes in a corona size (5x42) and will knock you loopy if you're not careful. Perfect for those nights where you've dined like T-Rex.

Tatuaje Havana IV Angeles

Personally, I won't smoke an LFD double ligero Chisel WITHOUT having a big steak dinner first. An outstanding cigar, but you gotta be careful. I love to recommend them to n00bs who insist on smoking Acids.
