How many of you smoke cigars?

I try to quit and stop for a while and then there will be an occasion or something and I use that as an excuse to start back up again. I actually used completing a 10 mile run as an excuse to have a celebratory cigar! Haha!

 

Having lost a good childhood friend and mentor to throat cancer from cigar and pipe smoke, let me help...

Its a cigar thread man. Cmon

 

For many years I liked to smoke a big ol' maduro as I watched the runners go by in the NY City Marathon.

 

Torched a Padron 2000 on Sat at a rifle match.

 

Smoking an Estaban Carrera right now.

 

The Padron Anniversario 1964 Maduro is still my favorite!

 

sounds good fellas! glad that the spring is here and prime smoking weather is well on the way!

 

Thought I was the only one who even heard of Esteban Carreras. Chupa Cabra, great smoke!
I smoke a cigar every Fri & Sat night with a good "beverage"
Good cigars start at 7-8 bucks

 

I may smoke (not sure if I'm really smoking versus puffing) a good cigar a few times a year. With a nice Bourbon of course! Usually after a good bird hunting or fly fishing outing.

 

heres a pic of my wine cooler converted Humidor.. and a few pieces of Cuban contraband

 

Been Montecristos for me so far this spring. Been on a kick with them for some reason lately. By which I mean I've had 3 since my birthday in March, lol.
I don't smoke them very often. I've got to be in the right mood, because a good cigar is an hour's time investment and a lot of the time I can't sit still for that long. But if I am in the right mood, I really enjoy sitting on my front steps with a glass of whiskey and a nice slow burner.

 

Good lord....
You've got a lifetime supply in there, lol.

 

thanks man.. yeah it will last me a while.. its actually a downgrade from my old setup (below).. I sold most of my aged boxes and rare stuff when I bought my house...

 

Yowzas.

That's quite a stash. I usually only have 4-5 on hand, haha!

 

Wow that's a nice humidor.
Did you do the woodwork?

 

honestly, I did not.. I bought those Spanish cedar trays from CheapHumidor.com. I added the handles onto them

I also did all the plexiglass work and molded the hygrometer into the glass.. hehe

 

i just got into cigars last year, my dad has always been into them and i started having the occasional smoke with him. since i'm such a 'Nooob" at cigars, i play it safe and stick with mild stuff. i really like the Drew Estate Acids, and my dad bought me a few packs of Lex 12 Napa Wine filtered cigars for my birthday last year. those things are awesome. if you havent tried them, do eeet.

 

I agree, Chupa Cabras are great. I was smoking a 187 last night though. Not as good, but still a great smoke. Big fan of Tatuaje as well.

 

That's funny. Acids were my introduction into cigars, which is apparently pretty typical. Cigar smoking is great though. Nothing beats sitting in a dark room with friends, or around a desert camp fire, or out on someone's back porch at night with a good bottle of bourbon and a cigar. Took them up a few years ago and it's amazing the cool people I've met or the places I've been invited to that I wouldn't have been otherwise.
