    I don't smoke cigars, but I do chew on one...hand rolled Honduran, ring size 52, 7.5 "....i used to smoke those big boys but society started to frown on it so I quit ( they do smell for about a block or so)...i survive on the nicotine in the leaf...Oh how I would love to light this baby boy up...such is life..

    Shake and bake,

    1.5 oz Gentleman Jack
    1.5 oz Coca-cola
    1 old-fashioned glass full of ice
    1 big cuban(ish) cigar

    Had a nice Nub Habano on the back porch last night. It was almost a little too warm, but summer is just around the corner. I wish it wouldn't come so fast here in Austin.

    What's everyone else been enjoying of late?

    I might get one out of the humidor this weekend and sip some Jim Beam with it. I hope it won't be too hot outside.

    Hmm, I've heard good things about those Patels. Honestly lately I've been enjoying cheap *kitten* Tampa sweet cigarillos.

    I enjoy them. If you like the larger ring gauges, then they are for you. They smoke about as long as a Churchill (my favorite size).

    My wife likes the Rum flavored cigarillos. It is getting to be that time on a Friday. :drinker:

    I had picked up a box of the Famous Nicaraguan 5000 in a 60 ring gauge, and I was not a huge fan of that I prefer something in the 50's.

    Im having a cup of coffee and one of my Rockey Patels now

    I do.
    My favorite brand is whatever kind somebody else has with them.

    I like rj 1850, punch, and Neptune house brand is pretty good.

    My boyfriend is addicted to cigars. He is trying to wean off them slowly.. and by that I mean he's allowed 2 per week. He used to be up 1 a day in the summertime when he was studying to pass the Massachusetts Bar Exam.

    He's convinced that cigars don't and won't ever cause cancer.. but I think they can! Comments?

    )The ones he smokes are incredibly strong and potent btw.. Hoya de Nicaragua.. "The Digger,"... Oliva

    Cigars are a leafy plant, like lettuce.. so from that I can only assume they are very good for you.

    I have some of those Hoya de Nicaragua in my humidor right now...

    Love a good cigar. Got a groupm of Guys I ride with and we meet at my place on the First Tuesday of each month for "Cigar Night". Which, by the way, is tomorrow night. I'v always got a bag of cigars in my Tail Bag on my Motorcycle.

    I stopped using a Humidor a couple years ago, although I have several very nice ones. I buy my cigars on line, by the bundle. Usually several at a time. When I get them, I place them in a Gallon Ziploc with some flavored pipe tobacco and a couple fresh vanilla beans. Keeps them at just the right humidity and flavores them slightly. Usually have several bags rotating.

    Favorite Cigar: La Gloria Cubana, Series R. Number 7
    Favorite Economy On'Line Cigar: Consuegra (from JR Cigars)
    Favorite Ring size: 56 and up
    Favorite Length: 6 to 8 inches (although I keep s0me shorties around for quickies)
    Favorite drink with a cigar: Single Barrel Bourbon or Port Wine
    Sexiest Cigar Moment: Beautiful Woman smoking a fat cigar.

    Favorite cigar moment: Rode down to So Cal with s buddy on our Motorcycles. Found some out of the way Cigar lounge. Cuban owned. They had a little walk in humidor. We went in and picked out our cigars and the owner took them to the counter, where he rang us up and took our drink order. Then we went and sat in the lounge. The owner brought us our drinks (Port). Righ behind us was a beautiful hispanic (maybe Cuban) girl with our cigars on a tray. She was wearing all white. Tight, white denim Hip huggers and a white gauze top. Plunging neck line, unbottones and tied in a knot in front. She made a big production of trimming our cigars, warming them, and then lighting them and presenting them to us. What a great afternoon. I'm no chauvinist, but I have to tell you that was the sexiest presentation ever.

    That reminds me Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines has a very nice Cigar Lounge on their bigger ships! I have enjoyed a few cigars in them.

    I used to have Cigars often, but I don't really use them anymore unless It's social. I really like about anything made by Davidoffs

    Just ordered up a bundle from Famous Cigars, the Nicaraguan 5000's and two Maduro sampler packs. I am a big fan of getting a couple of those 5 pack samplers, the last ones i got, I actually was not a big fan of. But when my buddies come over and they are not really into cigars but just want to hangout, that is when I take them out of the humidor.

    Cigars International just had a great deal on some chunk-tastic maduros. 56 ring assortment, free s/h. Just in time to replenish the humidor!

    Depends on my mood. Davidoff 2000 Series is my favorite, but too expensive to smoke regularly. I also like Oliva Serie V, and CAO Brazilia. I also keep a stash of Drew Estate Kuba Kuba's.

    ^^ Davidoff's are good. They have a Dominican line that hired most of the cigar specialists who fled Cuba after Castro took over the industry.

    Me and hubby enjoy one once in a while! There was one called Acid Blondie that I really liked... otherwise I can only stand the small flavored ones.

    I'm heading to a Davidoff event on Friday here in Austin. It is in a nice air conditioned lounge.

    I keep a stash of Kuba Kubas. I love these, but I wish they were made a little better.....I find Drew Estates 'unwrap' fairly easily. I've tried leaving them in my humidor for a few weeks before smoking them. But while they taste and smell great, I just dont find they are made very well.

    Just got back from the Dominican Republic. What a great honeymoon trip. Loved having an afternoon cigar on the beach. What has everyone been smoking lately?
