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

[Sigblitz]

I got my big box of Gurkhas with a free backpack. Smoked a Gurkha Yakuza this morning.

So early in the morning? You really know how to party.

I just picked up a nice Stanwell....

 

[Bigtanker]

Enjoying a CAO pilón. This is a really good stick.

I really need a reasonable way to burn a cigar year round. Can't really enjoy it when it's too cold... and I don't expect any super affordable ventilation solutions.

Don’t you guys have cigar lounges in Indy? In the winter I go out to the garage with the torpedo heater facing me.

Enjoyed a Padron 7000 maduro along with a bourbon while sitting in a sunny spot by a good dog and listening to the Bears game on the radio.

Never really smoked cigars with other people... hmm.

Might give the garage a try at some point.

Most of the ones around here are pretty roomy. You can be sociable or not.

How did you get a free backpack?

...In the winter I go out to the garage with the torpedo heater facing me.

Best thing I ever did was install a unit heater in my garage and blow 15 inches of cellulose in the attic. I keep the thermostat set at 45, but if I want to smoke a cigar, work on something, or just escape the house, I can make it 70 degrees out there in under 15 minutes.

they had these free with a deal on 35 cigars for around $100.

they have daily and weekly specials that come in emails.

 

[Bigtanker]

C.I. is like PSA with their deals.

Yeah, I have sometimes bought when the humidor was about full because it was too good to pass up on...

A few years ago I spent some time in Cabarete, Dominican Republic. Tested most of the cigars at a local cigar shop and ended up really enjoying La Flora Dominicana cigars. Specifically the Mysterio Oscuro. One Mysterio Oscuro, a glass of dark rum and you have 2 hours to relax.

The Ligero Oscuro is the closest that they still produce.

La Flor Dominicana

In my opinion d.r. cigars > Cuban.

Now I'm not saying Cubans are bad, just Dominicans are better.

 

[Expat]

Yeah, ,the DR cigars are good but they are no Nicaraguans

I may or may not have enjoyed a few Cubans. If I had, I would probably think they were good but not any better than some others.

I'm sick......

I'm sick......

I won't show you the picture of my father-in-law's pipes he lost in the fire. You'd cry.........again.

A Ben Wade...Early 70's freehand...I bought it and the very large Charatan at a CW reenactment for $1 a piece...The freehand was missing the stem and the grain flares so as to go with the shape of the pipe....I sent them to a guy in Nashville and he refurbished them for me so I got a total of $20 in them....

It looks like this....
