The Official Cigar Thread

[darkninja67]

Just a heads up: cigarplace.biz is having a nice 20% off sale this weekend. RP, San Cristobal, La Aroma de Cuba, La Flor Domincana, Ashton, Perdomo and other stuff. I may grab a box of LFD Air Benders for $100.

Thanks for the heads-up! I'm going to Tucson next week. Any B&M's to recommend?

Hell ya.  Born and raised in Tucson.  Unfortunately don't live there anymore. 
 
 
Anthony's is probably the best B&M to have a smoke at.  No alcohol because of the gay smoking law.  They have a couple locations throughout town.  I prefer the Crossroads Festival location at Grant and Swan because it is next to a wine shop and they more or less are cool with BYOB. 
 
Tindebox at Broadway and Craycroft has probably the biggest humidor in town.  But I still prefer Anthony's for a smoke.
 
 Also, there is a restaraunt called Risky Business that has a good patio you can smoke on that is friendly to cigar smokers.  I give em props because we have even had people complain while on the patio to the server and management said, hey its the patio they are allowed would you prefer to come inside.  So I gott support a business like that.
 
 
 
Make sure you get a Sonoran Dog while in town, there are several places in town that sell them but I prefer El Guero Canelo.  And don't miss El Charro and its Carne Seca plate.  Have fun.

Hey guys
Could someone explain to me the difference between the Oliva G Maduro and O Maduro? I am looking at buying a box of one of them, I've tried the G and liked it but would like to know a bit about the O. I was reading reviews of them and they are both described very similarly as far as flavors go, so whats the difference?
Cheers

The O is a Nicaraguan puro (all Nic. tobacco) while the G uses a Cameroon wrapper for the natural and Conn. Broadleaf for the maduro. The G belicoso maduro is well received.
cigarplace.biz has the G beli for $78.36 for 24 sticks. Very good deal. Use coupon "oliva" at checkout. Very reputable site, just ordered some LFDs yesterday.

Smoked my first Hammer today. It was a great cigar. Lasted over 2 hours. Incredible draw and perfect burn. Sucker felt very solid in hand. Spice to start off and was really smooth throughout. I think I had a 1/2" nub at the end.
 
Also hit two shops today, one had an Alec Bradley event so we were gifted two Family Blends and a Prensado. Also got two Dirty Rats from the other shop.

About to fire up a Tatuaje Havana VI Artista torpedo.

What are you guys up to? Smoking anything good lately??

 

[darkninja67]

Any new buys? Try any new blends??

 

[darkninja67]

Some reason this new interface will not let me delete a double post. Am I missing something??

 

[Zarathustra19]

Lot of weird stuff going on with the new interface, hard to judge what's wrong with it, lets just hope it all gets sorted out.
 
In the smoking department, I just got done with a fishing weekend with my buddies.  We spent probably a hundred and fifty bucks on the sticks we had this weekend, and unfortunately they're all gone!
 
I had a Padron 1926 Principe, Illusione 88, Illusione ms12, Oliva V Churchill, La Gloria Cubana (Churchill size-ish) and one or two others I may or may not have been too intoxicated to recall.  Overall, a great smoking experience.
 
The ms12 is now one of my favorite cigars of the moment, hoping it keeps up the good stuff and becomes one of the all time favorites.
 
Cheers,
Zach

This new format bugs me so much I haven't been coming around that often.  As for the smoking front Saturday saw the death of my last 98 PdP.  God what a great year! 

 

[kydsid]

Got some 07 SLR A's in, burned one ROTT.  Went nicely with the thunderstorm. 

 

[darkninja67]

sounds like a nice stick Jason. Kind of off the Cuban craving right now. Really liking the DPG Serie JJ maduros lately
