Asking the cigar smoking community on hexbear, what are your favourites? How you usually enjoy them and perhaps with what?
I personally don’t smoke that much, like to get a good one(be that Romeo and Juliet or other brand, don’t really have big preferences, much just the quality of it and Cuban origin) and then smoke it trough a hike. Goes nice together while sightseeing.
Flip it on them and smoke lanceros! Chuds don’t smoke them.
I also hate how chuds are trying to co-opt this and people automatically connect you to them. Cubans are hard to find in lanceros though.
Nice, I’ll bare this in mind and keep an eye out for them!
Why is that exactly?
It’s a half-joke. Chuds look down on lanceros because they don’t do enough to prop up their sense of masculinity. I’ve heard them called “feminine”, “for women”, because they are thin and look delicate, like cigarettes in cigarette holders women used to smoke in the 20’s.
Thing is though, they tell on themselves. Lanceros are the most complicated and rigorous form of cigar a master can roll, and the taste can be very unique because there is minimal filler tobacco so you can theoretically focus on the wrapper (outermost leaf) while also making them the most difficult to smoke. All of these are reasons they are often considered the best form by people who are actually really into cigars. So, they just give away they don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about. When people bring up lanceros being for “ladies” I just usually say something about women having better taste.
Of course, some chuds will smoke lanceros. It’s not a hard rule, but they usually go for the thick gauge cigars that makes them feel like big boys.
oh my god that makes so much sense lol
