What are you smoking or What do you enjoy smoking (Pipe & Cigar Thread)

[Bigtanker]

Big tanker, my wallet hates you for telling me about cigar bid! It's like crack, I'm Hooked! I scored pretty big last night. This morning's invoice had 50 cigars for $187.00 including shipping and taxes. I got a variety of smaller packs including Rocky Patel Alec Bradley Cohiba Oliva (series V melanio, one of my favorites.) and Kristoff.

Not a bad score. $3.74 per cigar. Heck yeah.

This morning kicks off with a La Flor Dominicana DL-700 Natural. Amazing construction, nice even burn, perfect draw. Great full bodied stick to kick the day off right!

Smoking a Ave Maria St. George right now.
as it warmed up the outer wrapper split all the way down the length
Doesn’t seem to have started leaking air though so far.

Very frustrating....tends to ruin the "relaxation" one expects from a good cigar.

Going to try that one soon too! How was it?

Very good! I'm biased towards Maduro though.

Like any large ring gauge, get it lit correctly and it's a very enjoyable cigar.

Was you able to save it or was it a total loss?

Stocked up the humidor with my favorites and some new ones. The orange label Macanudos are excellent. I'm not a Mac fan but these are superb. I rollled the dice on the red label version and I will try tonight. They've been acclimating in the humidor for a couple of weeks. I've noticed CI sends them pretty moist so I have to let the settle down for a time. More R & J vintages and 1854 or some date like that. Both good ones. More Monte silver labels in robusto and Churchill. La Aroma De Cuba maduros. Finally got some Fuente 858s fo nostalgia. It was my smoke in the 80s. Tried one but it was too moist. Didn't wnat to wait and should have.

'll post a pic of a crowded humidor later. I stocked up when I found deals. It's kinda the same thing I did with ammo. LOL!

I was able to get most of it smoked but it was some work. About the last third, the wrapper was just a mess. I would try to burn it off periodically.

That's always a shame. I always want to toss it but I can't do it.

I hear that. At least I wasn't trying to mow at the same time. That always gets tough when it happens then.

A mowing cigar! Brilliant! Wait 'til spring, y'all!

I didnt smoke inside with the wife, so a mowing cigar was always a pleasure.

Speaking of smoking inside... I'm currently getting quotes from contractors on building me a ventilated cigar lounge in my basement! If I can get it done for a reasonable cost I'll post pictures once it's completed.

There are some great smoke eaters/air purifiers out there that can handle cigars.

A cigar podcast I used to listen to had one of these linked below installed in their "studio" and they said it was awesome. For a couple hundred bucks, it might be something to look into.

You're going to invite all of us over for a smoke right?

Oohhh. Cigar party! I'm game.
