Brian Robinson Report post Posted October 6, 2006 (edited) There have been several threads recently regarding forays into the realm of cigar smoking. However, I didn't see any follow-ups about which cigars were chosen and how they were received. Any updates yet? Edited October 6, 2006 by Shabba53 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeycurious Report post Posted October 6, 2006 Sorry, I have yet to go and make a purchase. I was kind of hoping to have a smoke with friends, but I don't seem to have any friends, full stop. Well... Friends who want to smoke cigars, I guess I could say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tayker Report post Posted November 13, 2006 I usually prefer a Lonsdale size,handmade/hand rolled because they aren't too big and usually have a better draw. I also prefer a tan leaf (Connecticut?) to a Maduro because of the flavor, green makes me ill. My favorite brand is Monte Cristo and I really like their Tubos. Their Dominican Republic cigars taste as good as their same name Cuban counterparts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Absomphe Report post Posted December 15, 2006 What's wrong with a little butt crack? Nothing, butt if you smoke it, you must light it on fire. I hope you at least pour in a little absinth first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
monkeycurious Report post Posted December 17, 2006 I had a Romeo y Julieta No 2 tonight, which wasn't too bad. Went well with my Ike. No really burning taste in my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted December 17, 2006 The burning/burnt/bitter taste normally comes from either a poorly lit cigar or from one that is too hot (i.e. being smoked too quickly). Both problems can be fixed fairly easily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lycaon Report post Posted December 17, 2006 A cigar is nice. Maybe a Davidoff....But I like to fire up the briar. Nothing like a nice cavendish. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted December 17, 2006 I've been a cigar lover for years. Since moving to DC, I've also really gotten into shisha and smoking hookas at the middle eastern restaurants near my home. I wonder, would pipe tobacco work in a hookah?

Since moving to DC, I've also really gotten into shisha and smoking hookas at the middle eastern restaurants near my home. I wonder, would pipe tobacco work in a hookah? I don't think so. Middle eastern tobaccos seem to be very different from regular pipe tobaccos. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Robinson Report post Posted December 17, 2006 Shisha is nothing like pipe tobacco, but, I may have to go a little mad scientist on my hookah to see what I come up with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Doyle Report post Posted December 17, 2006 I don't think it would work because pipe tobacco lacks the moisture that shisha has. You would probably end up with smoldering pipe tobacco and a very harsh draw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
russkyguy1917 Report post Posted August 3, 2008 A lot of it depends on whether or not you inhale the pipe smoke, or rather draw it in. I personally enjoy drawing the pipe smoke in just to get the flavor of the tobacco; which is interesting because I inhale the hookah smoke. It's all really a matter of personal taste.

Rev. Joel+ Report post Posted August 16, 2008 My favorite smoke...Romeo y Julietta Clemmanseau for the long smoke, a Rocky Patel Robusto for the quick smoke. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mgs Report post Posted May 7, 2013 Here in Denver there is a hand rolled cigar, Palmas, made by Clay Carlton (http://www.palmacigars.com/). It is the finest and best cigar I purchased in US. Does anyone know of any other handmade cigar available to purchase by mail ? Thanks, - Marcelo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
