Got a Gurkha Viper in hand right now. Decent smoke not gonna lie. Oh, and a bulliet rye. I have some peach tree bourbon I'll be saving for Memorial Day along with a padron and a Gurkha seduction.

Last heater was a Don Jose robusto, with Sierra Nevada IPA, about two weeks ago.

I don't smoke cigars (or anything for that matter), but I'm not opposed to them. I may have to try the combo sometime.

re; Cigars
I suppose there's a reason they're referred to as gassers. I lost my taste for them a very long time ago (like 20-25 yrs ago), but I wouldn't begrudge anyone their preferred hobby/habit. I did puff one about two years ago, because the wifey wanted one. I can't remember what it was. Got them in a nice smoke shop, it smelled great right out of the humidor, and I actually enjoyed the first 3 or 4 puffs, but like an idiot, I finished the whole thing. Took me about three days to recover. Blaaaagh. I'll stick with the Copenhagen.
I am not trying to discourage anyone with this post, just relating my experience.

Pipes. I loved the smell of my father's tobacco pot when I was was a kid, but not so much the ashtray. Another no-go for me, but again - I would not begrudge anyone their tastes. I will say that I don't really do much in the way of distilled spirits, so maybe I've been missing out on a marriage of flavors.
Someone has to be the counter-point in the thread, I guess. [Flower]
I prefer A. Fuente Cubanitos. Small 'gars. But I don't really like big full-size cigars that much, takes too long to smoke and is just too much of a good thing for me. Like a nice glass of good whiskey vs. 6 or 7 glasses.
I like Drew Estate stuff (Root is my favorite), but I am a cigar amateur for the most part.

Sorry Irving, but I'll never forget that post...

Drew Estates remind me of the old Lars Tetens brand, I liked those. Don't know if they're even still made.

Can't stand anything about cigarettes. Always liked the smell of a good cigar or pipe but only outdoors. Maybe three times a year. As stated in previous threads, I like cigars/pipe and whiskey, just not together.
I quit snuff twice. Will/can never do it again.

Agreed. I curse myself a little bit every time I buy a new can after being off it for a few months. I do like the smell of a good tobacco shop, though. Just don't care to smoke it anymore.
ETA: Never was a big fan of cigarettes, either. One good thing about Colorado laws: It's nice to be able to get up in the morning, and not have everything you own smell like a turd pile, if you've gone out to meet the guys for a couple beers at the local tavern.

Can't say I have a favorite. Macanudo and Montecristo would be in the running.

I quit dipping for my girlfriend (now wife). It was probably a wise choice, but just about everytime I head to the hills or the backcountry, I get the strong urge for a dip. Oh well, haven't had one in nearly 3 years, why start now.

Stay on that track, and you will do well. Kudos for restraining. It's a habit, and probably not a good one. Definitely not one that's going to add years to your life, to paraphrase Pat Green.

The Drew Estates and Lars Tetens brands aren't for everybody, they're flavored and scented with some strange things, and you either like 'em or not. Seems like most folks don't, they're certainly different.

They make the Acid brand, but the Drew Estate ones are generally more subtle and not sugar tipped. I like Acid stuff but wouldn't bring it up in a cigar thread. ;)

Can't afford them anymore. I started on the $4 jobs, quickly went to the $6 to $8 models and then the $12 + boys and bonus time would see some of the $30 + stogies in the humidor. If it was under $9 I ignored it. At any given time I might have $200 to $500 worth of these babies in the cedar box. I smoked various brands, I preferred the more "creamy" and full bodied cigars, no so much the "peppery" ones. I would spend maybe an hour or more in the local humidors making my selections. Can't go back so I don't bother with them anymore.
Do I miss a good cigar? You bet. Just can't go back to the lower end after being on the "higher" end.
I do keep the Whiskey on hand for special occasions.

I don't smoke as much as I used to, but I've found that a Padron Maduro Corona with JW Black makes a nice pairing.

I picked up some Acid boxes from a head shop. Going to make battery powered guitar amps out of them.

Sounds good but it is cold and has been snowing all day. Maybe in a couple of weeks.

The Montecristo No.1 is my overall favorite, but a bit expensive. I also like the Drew Estate Kuba Kubas if I want a flavored cigar. I usually go with a nice single malt scotch to pair with my cigars, or a heavy red wine like a cab sauv in a pinch.

Had a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 with some Macallan 25. Was a good afternoon
Too poor for anything but the Swisher Mini Ciagrellos
If my surgeon knew I was smoking again she'd kick my ass.....
Cuban Montecristo & Stranahans whiskey...
If you like Stranahans check out Tin Cup... A little smoother, but a bit lacking in bite. Goes great on the rocks, too. A great pairing with a medium bodied cigar.

I like Acid, the Blondie is pretty good. Having had Cubans, I can't say I dislike them, but I prefer Dominicans over Cubans (and they don't taste as much like Communism [Coffee]).
I do like CAO Cigars, too... I've tried 3 or 4 different ones they offer and their Sopranos variety pack I got out of the Thompson catalog was damn good.

The CAO Gold's are great smokes if you want something fairly mild with a super easy draw. One of my favorite golf cigars.
Black & Mild with sum O.E. yo.
jk just modis hoperandi, no smoke

That's some funny shizzle right there.

Not much of a cigar smoker but love the aroma.On occasion I'll have one with the fellas... Arturo Fuentes Short Story with Jameson. A gentleman's pipe loaded with Sutliff 1M and Stranahans that is where it's at! Glad to hear there are other pipe smokers out there. Maybe I should start a new thread?

I'm all over. I had a Camacho Triple Maduro tonight. Have had a few La Flor Dominica Double Ligeras recently and really liked them. I have also been grabbing La Historia box press Toros lately. My go-to are the La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amore Reserva and the My Father Le Bijou 1922 torpedoes.
First "real cigar" I had (non-7/11 bought) was a macanudo...or so I thought. That was in 1997, I found countless sticks that I love with since then so I sort of fell out of love with the Macs, until now...

JR is blowing Gurkha cigs out right now. BIG. TIME!

The Gurkha Beast and Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro have been my recent favorites!
Just wanted to toss in a plug for my buddies at Edwards Pipe and Tobacco in Englewood, on Broadway, 1 block N. of Hampden. GREAT cigar shop! Go see 'em, tell 'em Ron sent ya (that'll hang 'em up - Ron who?).

Back from the dead
Had a Partagas black label tonight. Old favorite, been a long time since I have enjoyed a cigar. Any recommendations on same style of stick.
I have a humidor now. Maybe I can play along next time I break out a stogie.
I have a hand full in the freezer. Picked up some nice ones from a Portland tobacco shop (before the stupid broke out). Picked up a couple of pipe tobaccos too. With spring approaching, I'm definitely going to be spending time in the back yard.
I like cigars and I like bourbon/scotch but not together. I usually smoke with coffee or a bitter beer.
I'll check cigar names tomorrow.

I'm 10min from them. Gotta check them out.
My favorite place is World Class Cigars on Wadsworth, just South of I-70 on the East side of Wads. Not the biggest, but he's always had good prices on the cigars that I like (Drew Estate), and carries the Root.
My buddy was telling me that he went golfing with a rich buddy and had a $20 cigar and it was the best he'd ever had. I tried it and wasn't convinced that the price matched the flavor. I'll post the name when I can remember, but it's a pretty popular one. Anyway, I tried done of the higher dollar stuff from Aging Room and I thought they were good for the price. I think I had the $12 or $16 one.
I believe the last one that I enjoyed was a Deadwood Sweet Jane. There was a Cohiba that I had on a cruise to Alaska that I liked. Maybe their Red Dot?

My go to is El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga. I won't turn down a real Cuban or a cigars made in Miami by real cubans...but neither of those happen often for me. So I go with the El Rey.
I'm having a $3 Caballeros right now. Nothing fancy but fits the bill. For the price, I'm a fan of the Factory Smokes from Drew Estates. They make the Deadwood cigars.
The gentleman that now runs Edward's Tobacco used to be a vendor that would call on me when he was selling oil and gas tools. He's a good guy so I strongly recommend anyone to stop by there.
