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.Quote:

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.
A Nat Sherman and a Bombay Sapphire martini.
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.Quote:

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.
Plus, you like to share them with stangers... [Coffee]Quote:

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

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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. ;)Quote:

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.
Just had a Cuban Cohiba Robustos and a iced glass of Wild Turkey Honey. Good times.
A Perdomo Habano Corojo and Jameson
I picked up some Acid boxes from a head shop. Going to make battery powered guitar amps out of them.Quote:

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.....
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.Quote:

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.Quote:
