    Cardiac issues and cigars

    Have an appt with cardiologist Monday, having some mild angina, not vagina (she says it’ll kill me), my dad had small arteries around his heart, and had to get 5 bypasses at 63, I’m almost 60. Maybe nothing, maybe coincidental, but with my genetics, need to check it out. My calcium coronary...

    Favorite Cameroon stick

    Smoked the Kristoff Cameroon today, I’d forgotten how much I really like the taste that wrapper gives. I think the LFD CC #3 is my favorite, probably closely followed by their lancero, though IIRC, last one knocked my on my ass. Any other Cameroon lovers, if so, what’s your top 5?

    Fun morning - rearranging coolidor

    I have to stay on the porch when the big dogs run, but had fun rearranging my coolidor this am, always find some buried treasure, like the Stanfords 90th, some Opies from 2014, Andalusian Bull I forgot about, etc. I don’t think casual cigar smokers realize what’s all involved building a stash of...

    Starting to re-stock Habanos, couple questions

    Was it wise to take out a 2nd mortgage to buy cigars? Seems ok to me 😜 Here’s my cart, obviously ordering small qty until i can narrow down taste profiles i like, any input is good, even if you tell me I’m a fktard, I’d probably agree…

    Oliva Melanio Maduro

    Smoked my first the other night, a toro, and about 1/2 way through it had a pronounced flavor change, I’d say for the better, but very interesting. We were sitting around the lodge chatting, so I didn’t give it enough attention to identify the flavors. Anyone else experience this?

    Humidification question

    Have a 85qt coolidor, packed pretty full, using quite a # of 65% Bovrda packs, and a Xikar micro fan, that comes on every 15min for 5 sec, maybe 3 sec? Anyway, is this adequate? About to buy a 120qt cooler & ditch the current, if it’s ok for the 85, assume ok for 120? Oh, when Boveda packs are...

    OT: Whole 30 diet

    I have way too much inflammation, I take 600 mg of ibuprofen at least 3x a day, every day. I grew up farming and in the cattle business, was on a horse at 6, been thrown off more times than I can count, run over by cows, crashed 3 wheelers, etc, think those chickens are coming home to roost. I...

    El Septimo Michelangelo

    Beautiful perfecto, dark, oily wrapper, a few bumps, maybe the wrapper is a bit thin? Foot smell (ew!) was pretty benign, as was cold draw, not a lot there. First third - the aroma is fantastic, sweet smell, caramel / vanilla ish. Starts out with cedar & toasted nuts, a little bitterness, but...

    New cigar suggestions

    For the past 20+ years, I’ve really liked Fuente “premium” lines, meaning Opus, Anejo, Casa Cuba & Casa Fuente, etc, as well as Padron, LFD, Tatajue (some), and Cubans. What I like is complexity (I guess who doesn’t?), creaminess, some sweetness, not so much the profiles with leather, wood, etc...

    Fuente 8-5-8 Sungrown Rosado (2018)

    Bought a box of these back in Dec 2018, and have been chipping away to the point where there’s only 8 left of the box of 20. Paired with Lagunita Hoppy Refresher, sitting in carport watching storms while waiting on wife & son to return from the lake. Some pepper, wood, maybe cinnamon at times...

    LFD Colorado Oscuro #4

    Have had a few of these for some years (not sure how many years), decided to spark one up Thursday. Paired with a Lagunitas Hoppy Refresher (these are great). Started out with a big ass hollow spot, super loose draw, but corrected itself in about 1/2 inch, from there forward plenty of smoke...

    Any Fly Fishers?

    It’s a hobby I’m deep into. Technically still a guide, but don’t do many trips, when I have time I’m taking my 13yo son, he wants to fish every day. Living in Asheville, we have a plethora of decent water around us, primarily stocked fish, but my jam is hunting big brown trout, they become...

    I see a few familier names

    Been a few years, i think, since i've been around, time flies. Got a FB message from Jonesy, and that kinda prompted me log back in. Been rebuilding my cigar arsenal, got away from smoking, but back into it...   edit - oops on the spelling of familiar.

    addiction and cigars

    It's time for me to hang up my Skoal days for good, i've been off and on the past 10 or so years, or longer, and i'm ready to quit once and for all. A little over a year ago, i gave up the most destructive vice i had, alcohol, and now i'm getting psychologically ready to quit my last destructive...

    Life is good

    About a year ago i was officially divorced after almost 19 yrs of marriage. I was trying to deal with the emotional arse kicking of that, trying to get sober (on my own), and trying to keep my business glued together in light of the economy basically destroying all demand for my product. Many...

    Hey Meli

    In his post game interview yesterday, he has a shirt on that looks like "Meli" written on it, think he's saying he's going to make you cry again and send me 5 more cigars :laugh: www.gatorsports.com click on the video link
