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

[Ingomike]

It wasn't too bad. I used to smoke cigarettes and got pretty good at doing most things with a heater hanging out of my mouth without inhaling too much of it.

The problem was that I didn't spend the time to get the cigar properly lit and let it burn for a few minutes before taking off. Because I didn't have an even burn going I had to keep puffing like a mad man to keep it lit while fighting the wind.

The neighbors probably have already posted the video. LOL

I take my work laptop out of the dock and sit out in the garage to work while smoking a cigar. I hate it when I am puffing away with it clenched in my teeth for an extended period and the smoke decides to concentrate on my left eye.

Yep. Another reason I like to do nothing whilst I smoke my cigar.


Just got my statement for my recent spending binge on CigarBid. Under $70 shipped for 35 big name sticks. That's pretty good.

I like the white and black obsidians. Graycliffs are usually decent.
The White Golds are better than I expected when I tried them.

I listened to "The Cigar Talk" Podcast this week. The latest episode has an interview with Dirty Fabian, the former lead sales rep from Drew Estate. He's the guy who basically made Acid cigars the best selling cigars in the country.

Anyway, it was very informative. He got into a few details on the process not making cigars and the differences between traditional, infused and flavored. How they do the infused is really interesting.

They arrived today.

Haven't had one since August. Got a new chunk of aorta and a new aortic valve in early September. Docs said no more cigars. Not ready to test their theory yet.

Glad to hear your doing good.

Thanks BT.

Bovine? Porcine? Or synthetic?

 

[Bigtanker]

Just fired one of these up. Review to follow.

I also bought a Alec Bradley "Magic Toast" yesterday while in Ohio. The name stuck my wife's fancy so I bought it. Anyone tried one yet?

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood...

Smoked a Padilla Artemis... one of those that are upsetting, kept burning fast down one said. Kept trying to light up the other side more, but it didnt help... burned in about half the time it should have. Grrrr...

I fought the same frustration with the Whiskey Row a few posts up. It was wrapped so tight I couldn't get a good draw. I poked a toothpick up the bottom and it helped for about 2 or 3 draws. Then back to the same thing. Maybe it was still a little dry?

Bovine.

A friend of mine had the same put in earlier this year. He's back to his normal 50 mile bike rides and playing in a soccer league.

I keep telling him, all that exercise is gonna kill him.

Ehh, you'll be fine. As long as you don't start lactating.

My hair is turning wiry and I seem to moo a lot.

I've never seen these before. My favorite Macanudo M in a Bourbon!!!!!

I did buy one of these a while back. I'm just finishing it up now. Decent smoke, but I prefer the regular "M".
