Cigar Connoisseur
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
I will have to try to find one. I don’t mind to splurge every now and then, just not too often, like you said you appreciate it more when it’s rare.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
First one I had, I was skeptical. After trying it, I can honestly say that it’s the absolute best cigar I’ve ever had.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Paired that fine cigar with a double shot of Eagle Rare, my favorite bourbon. Smoked that cigar until the ashes fell behind my teeth. Life doesn’t get any better than that !

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Glad you enjoyed it, got to treat yourself now then ! The neighbor and I sat on the porch Monday night wit a couple of those Factory Smoke cigars.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Cwade, I ordered some to try. Hard to beat for the price. A good cigar! Thanks for your recommendation.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
My brother had a breakdown and I got him fixed up and back going that afternoon, so since I wouldn’t charge him he had these sent to the house. Haven’t had a chance to try them yet, but looking forward to it.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Cwade, your brother has good taste. Ashton is a fine cigar. A very mellow premium smoke. Savor them and enjoy each and every one. I’m jealous.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Tonight, I have plans for an El Rey Del Munro Robusto. A superb cigar at a good price. I usually get the five pack but have bought boxes on occasion. By the box it comes out to just over $4 apiece. Not bad at all. It’s a very old brand and made in the Cuban style. Dark maduro wrapper. One of my all time favorite cigars. JR Cigar sells them as well as the five packs.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Oscar I tried one of my new Ashton cigars last night. Good smoke, mild flavor. It’s different than the infused ones I e been smoking but a great cigar.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Cwade, Ashtons are top shelf. They are one of the premium cigars. You received a terrific gift. Enjoy them !! I buy them every so often. I like to alternate my cigars so I don’t get tired of smoking the same ones over and over.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Made a cigar punch on my lathe today from deer antler. Cuts a neat hole in the end. Push button ejects the cut plug. Works great. Enjoying a bourbon and cigar on my back porch. Cigar is a Partagas .

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Very cool! Was the punch a pre bought blank that you turned the stag and drilled to fit? I used to use a 33-06 round that I sharpened the edge on, now I usually use my 5mm #11 palm gouge.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Punch parts were a kit. I drilled out the antler, turned on lathe and press fitted parts together. Here’s another I made using an acrylic called Kirinite.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Todays shipment from JR.
20 of JR’s own. One of the few that are good. 10 Maria Mancini that are reasonable and very good. The Ciglo’s were a freebie that they threw in. Eight free cigars in the tube. Never had one before.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Sitting on the porch today enjoying a Mark Twain Memoir that was a gift from a fellow member. It is a great smoke! Large size and very smooth, definitely a good one to add to the rotation.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Got a new catalog yesterday. Seems that the price of Mark Twain has increased some. No surprise as everything does. Used to be about $3.25 a stick. It’s $4 a cigar now. Still a great bargain for a very good cigar.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Every thing I’m interested in goes up in price Oscar, if I order more they will be $10 a piece before it’s over. I was doing some work at the restaurant outside today and enjoyed a Drew factory smoke, I had to smoke it up because I’m out of room in the humidor!!
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Which is why I have more than one humidor. I really need to cut back on my 4-5 cigars a day.C-WADE7 wrote: ↑Sun Oct 16, 2022 8:55 pmEvery thing I’m interested in goes up in price Oscar, if I order more they will be $10 a piece before it’s over.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Nah, you just used the old adapt and overcome method to solve the problem. I was reading the band on the Mark Twain and figure you can just follow his quote”It has been my rule never to smoke when sleeping…and never to refrain from smoking when awake. ”.
Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Tonights cigar is La Flor Dominicana Ligero. I am a huge fan of this one but I don’t recommend it. It’s probably one of the strongest cigars out there. Great tasting but NOT for everyone.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Debating what cigars I’ll have today. I have a Cohiba I’ve been saving. Would make for a great after breakfast cigar. Tonight, definitely an el Rey del Mundo (translation : King of the World), along with a great bourbon. In between, probably Mark Twain or… Brick House. Weekend looks to be off to a great start.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Sounds like a good line up, I’ve been busy this week in the evenings just time for 1 cigar so far, but maybe I will change that tonight.OSCAR wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 11:16 am Debating what cigars I’ll have today.

Re: Cigar Connoisseur
Try the el Rey del Mundo if you want full flavor. The My Father is a fantastic cigar if you are in the mood for a mellow cigar. The My Father is one of the very few that I buy local. I get 2-3 at a time. Boxes (online) are out of my price range. Singles cost more per cigar but I don’t smoke them everyday.C-WADE7 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 11:54 amSounds like a good line up, I’ve been busy this week in the evenings just time for 1 cigar so far, but maybe I will change that tonight.OSCAR wrote: ↑Fri Oct 21, 2022 11:16 am Debating what cigars I’ll have today.
