I'm not sure if this is dumb or not?????

Wail at the local cigar lounge enjoying a nice Graycliff Double Espresso from my trade with sdip (thanks man) I mentioned to a guy I was talking to that I was on a quest to collect and smoke the spiciest most peppery hot cigars in production. HE said that if I smoke any full bodied cigar really fast it will take on a peppery tone. Hitting my favorite cigars like a vacuum cleaner doesn’t sound like good advice. It there any truth to this?

Not good advice....the heat will ruin the cigar, to enjoy the cigar flavors to the fullest you want it to remain as cool as possible imo....you want something naturally spicey...

YankeeMan:

I thought Kuzi wrote something about this in the past. I seem to remember someone saying that if you did just that, smoke quickly, you would get more spice.

Kuz, how say you?

ive found that the slower you smoke the less pepper you have in a cigar.
i find that nicaraguan tobacco tends to be a bit spicier than similar tobacco grown in other countries.
i find that sun grown is a bit spicier than shade grown
i find that higher priming leaves tend to be spicier than lower
i find that Natural wrappers tend to be spicier than maduro or oscuro.
corojo has more spice to it than many other strains


so if you want spice, go with a nicaraguan natural sun-grown corojo wrapper with a fair amount of nicaraguan ligero filler and a nicaraguan binder.

if you wanna back down the spice a bit, try maduro wrappers, honduran tobacco, shade grown tobacco, middle or lower primings, and less ligero.


of course these are just rules of thumb.
there are cigars out there that have things that would point to more spice but they are not.
