A while back I posted a question about good strong cigars as that is what I tend to lean towards. Since then, I have come to realize that it is actually more spicy cigars that l enjoy the most.

That said, what are some good spice bomb cigars? (black pepper, other pepper tastes, etc)

I have had a couple Oliva's and Jericho Hill's that fit the bill and have had a few others here and there. I should have made a list.

Also, what other flavors/smells do you consider in the category of spicy cigars?

Thanks!

Pretty much all of Padron's cigars. Particularly their 1926 & 1964 Series.
Trinidad Reyes
PSD4's
Partagas Shorts


YMMV but I always found all of these spicy flavor bombs. fog

I didn't find the PSD4 to be very spicy. I will have to try another and see what I think.

That LFD Firecracker I got from ZRX a while back was "spicy"......... yet sooooo smooth.
One of the best cigars I've had.

I have to disagree with Buckwheat, I don't find ccs to be all that spicy (as in spice bomb spicy anyway).

I do agree with jespear though about the LFD/LG.

One I think you'll like:

EL GÜEGÜENSE from the Foundation Cigar Company. From what I hear, the dude used to work for Drew Estate, which normally isn't my cup of tea, but I really like this cigar.

Another one from the same company, the Tabernacle... I like it, but it's not really my preferred profile.

Also, you mentioned Jericho hill, try other full bodied maduros with broadleaf or Mexican San Andreas wrappers.

Note the date:


I was nice to hank today.

First, we need to all agree on the definition of "spicy"...that term seems to be interchanged with "peppery" In reality, though related, the words mean different things.

Here is one way to illustrate the difference:

http://www.cigarinspector.com/cigars-101/cigar-flavor-components

The best way for me to articulate the difference is to say that the Fuente Hemingway and Don Carlos lines are complex and spicy. The Padron Anniversary '26 and '64 lines are complex and peppery.

I would probably say that I lean more towards the peppers side of the spices but have had some good ones that have hints of anice and cinnamon.

Did hank finally pass the hazing faze? I feel like I've entered an alternative dimension.

I tend to lean toward Garcia for spicy.

Are El Cobre cigars still around? The El Rico Habano might also be a decent option if the blend stayed the same after Kiki Berger died. Casa Fernandez Aganorsa could also be a possibility.

I find some of the My Father lines to be pretty spicy, particularly the Le Bijou.

Yes, they are still around. I had a bundle or so of the robs sitting in a cooler for the past 4 years. I just dug one out. Still as spicy as all get out, but they are smoking much smoother now. These where very ruff young. The only thing I don't like about these is that they tend to be rolled a little on the tight side.

A good spicy economy Pepin Blend would be the Old Henry. Pepin pepper blast right from the start.

El Rico was a very good, strong cigar. But, I thought it was from the La Gloria Factories in Miami and the DR.

You are correct.

I had my cigars confused. The cigar I meant was the JL Salazar.

Although the ERH is also a good option.
