Alex23, will you be bringing in the New Year with a high dollar cigar?

[Tapeworm]

Nice collection, Tapworm.

Thanks Doc.  All that talking this afternoon... one less in the box now.

I'm impressed that you're a fan of the Ramon Allones Specially Selected. I had a San Cristobal and VSG illusion last night. Gave my friends Bolivar Belicosos.

I'll be having a cigar this afternoon.

Haha, great name!  I hadn't heard of that before.

I usually just select based on the brands that I've enjoyed before and the smoking time.  I usually steer clear of monsters, mostly because of cost but also because 30 minutes is enough for me.  The staff at Devlins is pretty knowledgeable so I usually ask them to recommend something I haven't tried before when I go in. 

It's the best shop in town by far for selection and advice but it suffers badly from the snootiness that sometimes afflicts the Cigar World.  I think I hurt the dude's feelings in there one day when I laughed at the prices on their lighters.  Who needs a $1000 lighter ffs.  "No, I've got a Bic, I'm good thanks."

It shits me when someone tries to sell me some status.  I mean, they have $1000 ashtrays for sale.  How much of a dickhead would you have to be to buy that?

[SinCitysmallGUY]

I've heard that a real cigar smoker uses wood matches. something about the butane fucking up the taste because it gets all in the cigar as to where the wood is natural? Had a buddy of mine tell me this and he has been a cigar smoker since we were in high school. Only guy in the whole place that would be smoking a cigar.

I've heard the same about butane imparting a taste but I've never tried one.  Zippos are out of bounds obviously.  Problem with matches would be sulphurous taste, but if the head was completely burned away it'd probably be ok.  Hardcore guys light a piece of cedar wood and then light the cigar off that.  I've done it just to try it but I'm happy with my $.89 Bic.

[drkaje]

I have several really good lighters.

I can taste the Bic fuel. IMO, Lava and Dupont are the best lighter fuels.

Clean burning matches are cool too.

Haha, I feel like a total jerk now.  I KNOW you didn't pay a grand for one tho right?

I lit one of my small Punchs.  Going back out.  This thread is hazardous to my health.

Not a grand but I'm pleading the 5th. I have 2 ST Duponts and a Dunhill. Also a few torches for when it's  windy but I still end up using matches pretty often.

First black man that I have met that is a cigar person.. other then Swisher, white owls, phillies, and optimos. Doc your a good man.

I have usualy one ciggar per weekend: I smoke mostly Montecristo.

I mostly take the ciggarr with me on my hiking trips, and smoke it while enjoying some of the amazing views in the wicklow mountains.
Best ciggar i ever had was....

Magic momen no 1) When I had my honeymoon in Africa - kruger national park in my lodge sitting in a comfortable chair at night (and I swear this is true) bright moonshine and a bull elephant walking past

Magic momen no2) Sitting in Mauricius (same honeymoon) in a very comfortable sofa wife in one hand a Montecristo in the other it was raining and we had life music of a very very good cuban band.

Magic momen no 3) Sitting beside a fire this year in the wicklow mountains - my wife and me just made camp after a very long day hike - magic moment.

Ever gotten your pipes cleaned while smoking a cigar?

All depends, see you and me were like apples to oranges. Sure were both fruit, but see you smoke cigars whole, I split that shit and dump out the guts and bring new life to it.

I smoke good cigars and wouldn't touch the other stuff.

Aren't the wrappers on Blunts some paper, tobacco shaving mixture?

Go enjoy yourself a proper cigar, SCSG.

I dont mess with the Blunt wraps.. They are to fruity and wet, fucking things suck in my opinion. What would you suggest for a guy just starting out, not to harsh and somehting nice to smoke and drink some beer or wine with?
