My Old man smokes about 4 or 5 cigars a day when the weather is nice.  He sits out by the pool all day when the weather is nice with his Crown Royal

Thanks Soundess, it's been a rough Q3-Q4. We closed all our end of year deals and even pulled some Q1 '09 revenu recognition. Looks like the BPP bonus are on target. I might be taking January off to focus on my personal life & training hard. I feel bad having to close our Portland office but, that's business, no one lost their job, that's the important part.

I like habanos too, and had the chance to meet one of the oldest "torcedor" from the island. We smoked many churchills and montecristo, and he even "torcio" some habanos for me. Pure art, the man started smoking at the age of 11 and ended his last days at the end on 87, 5 years ago, we drank rum the summer before he died, and smoked like crazy for 2 days.
I regret i couldnt learn the technique, nor i will never have access to the plants to produce the finest habanos.

He just loved churchills, according to him, theres nothing better in the world, and his hands produced many back in the days he was active.

He loved to hear me talking about my country´s history, and i loved to hear about his country's history, while smoking and drinking, next to my swimming pool and doing a bbq.

I remember he also told me he was sad that new "torcedores" werent putting the effort the old ones used to, and regreted the quality of the modern day habanos.

As he told me once "Its not just about finding the correct plant, but also rolling part of cuba's history inside them, and remember the days of the romanticism and revolution while smoking one".

Ever make the trip to TJ when Taboada is visiting the LCDH down there.  His shit is pricey but the fucker rolls a mean salomone or the sublimes.  I've had cigars from Hamlet, La China as well as other small timers from the Island.  Beats the factory shit like Cohibas and Montes hands down.

First rule of feeding bullshit to guys is that you have to know your details:

1. Churchill means either ex prime minister of UK, or SIZE of the cigar, meaning that there is good and there is bad churchill cigars to smoke. It is the label what you need to know, because if you have smoke a V.I.Lenin's churchill and compare it to Cohiba's version of the same size cigar, it is like comparing dog shit to Hershey bar.

2. Habano means only that cigar is made in Cuba, and there is plenty of good and bad cigars made there, so it is the label again what you need to know. Labels like Montecristo, Cohiba, Romeo & Juliet are well known and fine cigar labels which you should know if you like cigars.

3. If you want to impress anybody who smoke cigars, you don't brag that you smoke like crazy for two days. That just means you are childish and doesn't really know what cigars are all about. If you know anything about cigars, you should know that aficionados smoke them just for the aroma, not inhaling the smoke at all. If you smoke one after another without few hours pause, you don't taste anything, and you burn your mouth with smoke which is quite alkaline.    

If you need to try good cigar, try God of Fire Churchill, but do not inhale, it makes you even dumber...

Alex, Who is R&P? Is it a new brand, boutique or what?

I like the VSGs a lot and any Fuente in Sungrown. Big OpusX fan as well but haven't tried any if the God of Fire sticks.

Unfortunately my local cigar shop only carries the CAO Sopranos cigars.I like the first half of the cigar but no so much the end :-\
I've been buying La Rigueza as a nice medium price cigar.
