cigars
 

Just finished smoking a good cigar in the back yard in the cool early morning. Opus X xXx (short belicoso). Good burn and draw, lots of tasty smoke, it was a real pleasure.

Anybody here enjoy a good smoke once in a while?

Ah, yes. I stood just inside the deck door and had one with my morning coffee. Watching the much needed rain.

Debbie is down the Bahama at Grand Cypress doing some gambling, As a condition to let Her go, She must bring me back some Romeo & Jouliet Cuban cigars. Can't wait

Struggling to quit smoking. The new start is today. When I visit my friend's home, I can control myself not smoking for a day because she does not smoke..... when I stay alone, it's a little bit hard.

Nothin' like a good cigar with a glass of good Brandy.

I've tried to stop smoking about 10 times in the last 20 years. Lasted for nearly a year last time. Maybe I can do it the next time. My Cherokee Grandpa told me that it's in our blood. Sure hope he was wrong...

I stop smoking when I run out of Cigars. Have You checked the prices of Davidoffs lately?

I stopped smoking about 35 years ago. I promised myself that I would start smoking again when I turn 90. I figure it can't do much harm then. Regards

re foriegn cigars sold in china? How are your cigars compare to our domestic In law shcool I had to make an emergency landing a cessna 150 during my checkout flight in Windsor Locks Conneticut landing in a tobacco field that saved my life, First I had no idea there was tobacco in Conn. I learned the know for their wrapper as I was taken away near the ElllaGrasso rest stop. Go Figure!! PS I never flew solo again!

I smoke 1 or 2 everyday weather permitting. Just got back from a graduation where my bro in law and I touched off some Gurkas.

My preference is a strong Maduro 54 ring. Yes Connecticut maduro broadleaf wrappers are tasty.

I truly believe these are the finest cigars anywhere including any Cuban

The plane I soloed in was also a Cessna 150 (square tail), and it later came down in a tobacco field in Virginia after the oil plug fell out because the A&P failed to safety wire it. The airplane flipped when the nosewheel came down and it never flew again - a shame, it was a great airplane. Both occupants walked away luckily.

These days I just get those knock-offs from Cigar Hut online, just about $1.20 each.

I DON'T THINK WE SHOULDN'T FLY OVER TOBACCO FIELDS, I praticed in a 150 and almost hid a dog sleeping on the warm runway in Pa. Thank God I had full flaps and sufficient air speed!The Dumb dog didn't even move. Only in Pa.

Used to fly into various Conn airports all the time. In the '70s lots of shade tobacco fields. In the '90s almost none.

Debbie called from the Grand Cypress Hotel and Casino at Paradise Island Bahamas and found a vendor in the straw market selling Cuban Cohebes cigars for $10/cigar which means she probobly lost big in the casino!

Had time this morning to go to a cigar store, get a cup of coffee, hang out with some of the city detectives, watch the news, buy a few cigars and enjoy smoking a 601 Blue robusto.:cool:

Back in the 70's & 80's, I smoked Parodies & DiNobili's... :)

All The ittle Italian Grandpas Had one in their mouth
 

glued to their lips, They resembled what came out of the back end of a small dog!!Yup that and mad dog 20/20. A litle bit of heaven,

Smoked a tasty Opus #5 this morning to start the day.

The wood cigar boxes are interesting. Have some old Por Larrañaga boxes, cedar or mahogany, that might make a good box for a Luger and extra magazine. "There's peace in a Larrañaga".:thumbup:

Be very wary of cigars sold at Nassau's straw market. Chances are excellent that it is a knock-off or a Dominican and not a Cuban Cohiba. Fakes are rampant in the Bahamas.

The only place I am ever sure the stuff is real is at the various Duty Free Vendors, (very expensive) or at the Club del Habano in Havana!!

Was never much of a cigar smoker but i loved my cigs. Had my last one 15 years ago on the way to the operating room. They cut off as much of the cancer as they could. 36 radition treatments later, I found the motivation to quit smoking. Can't stand the smell of the smoke now. Every once in a while the bread lands butter side up. L Fifer

Lewis,
I totally can relate to your butter side up experience. I quit cold turkey in the cardiac intensive care unit in 1981. Nothing like a reminder of ones mortality to smack you up along side the head.

Gents,
Took my 2nd heart surgery to get the point across and then a couple of years. Chantix helped me across that river. I still dream about having a smoke and wake up relieved. Still have a humidor with some fine cigars. I give them to friends on special occasions. I detest the smell of cigarette smoke and really, really wish that I could enjoy a fine cigar as my Grandfather did. Every evening, after dinner, truly a ritual. That and a touch of Crown Royal. You folks are the best, better than any Gentlemans club in the world.

Best to you always,

Dear debbie brought me homesome cuban cohiba's
 

She also bought a Gucci handbag from the Grand Cyprus on Paradise Island, Bahamas and the Cuban just to distract me!

When I fell in Costa Rica sustaining a subdural hematoma and resultant coma I later learnedthe withdraw of potent pain injections ie demeral and dilaudid combined with the alchohol caused numerous seizures, and thanks to my Wife Debbie, heperin and cipro that she broughht with Her spaired my life. Since then I will enjoy a good cigar now and then together with a Prayer of thanks. A hell of a way to detox. The Rolling Stone wrote a song that sums it up. 'SISTER MORPHINE' I

Smoked a good cigar, Carrillo "Short Run" robusto, for Father's Day, out back before the heat and humidity gets high.

Hopefully, a cigar or two a week is not much of a health hazard.

No, I didn't inhale.:p
