Good call on watching CO vids. That is where I learn so much info on cigars when I first started out.

Monthly subscriptions or the grab bag samplers are great for guys that are just starting out. It will give you a great range of different sticks to help you figure out exactly what you like. The thread is also a great place for asking questions too. A lot of nice, knowledgeable guys ITT.

hanging out with the boys yesterday and smoked a MC Double Edmundo. absolutely a delicious tasting cigar. finished off the night with a Monsdale.

[ThatOneBigKid]

Stopped at a new (to me) B&M yesterday and was blown away by the selection and the low prices compared to other local B&Ms. The place is basically a remolded early 1900s house turned into a cigar shop. They had a killer set up inside with nice leather couches and TVs and a cool patio out front. I will defiantly Picked up a Connecticut stick from MF that the gentleman working there recommended, a Kristoff Sumatra Lancero, and a Jericho Hill Toro (have been wanting to try these).

If your in St. Paul catch an Uber out to Stogies on Grand. You will not be disappointed

[JPF82]

Best lighter? Or doesn't matter as long as its a jet/butane?

Just no Zippo lighters. They use a "dirty" fuel that taints the taste of your cigar.

I have a 6 dollar single jet butane I bought at Walmart and it works perfect.

[Horse86]

buying a couple sticks tonight to celebrate. We CEO'n now brahs

[darkninja67]

See if this works, smokes of the last two weeks

[ThatOneBigKid]

Good stuff, DN.

Smoked these guys over the weekend. Both were too mild for my taste personally, but still good smokes.

[JPF82]

My lewt stash for fist time cigar smoker.

-The lighter sucks ass, they didn't fill it when purchased (found out after going back next day they should have)
-Cigar cutter is meh at best but it works as intended
-Padron 3000 tasted like nothing IMO
-Others didn't have much flavors, or at least the way I envisioned them

So went back when I had to get lighter refilled, got a Padron 1964 Anniversary? That chit was BANGING! And I bought another forgot brand/name. (was recommended as a flavorful one to drink with).

It wouldn't stay lit, little to no flavor.....bought 2 of them and had same issues. Told the place I got them from and they acted shocked. *shrug*
The 1964 Anniversary was amazing though!

Where is this place you speak of?

Been busy this summer haven't had a smoke yet, hopefully this weekend.

[SonicDust187]

Smoked a New World Connecticut today. It kicked my ass. Strong and spicy!

Look up "Stogies on Grand" on Google Maps.

Its on Grand Ave. in West St. Paul just east of Lexington Ave.

[ThatOneBigKid]

Smoked this guy last night. Was damn tasty!

[NY Money Mike]

^^ It was good? I never seem to come across these in stores

Yea man, I enjoyed it very much. Good woody and leather notes with some sweetness and then some spiciness on the second half.

A new(new to me) local B&M I found has the Maduro, Sumatra, Ligero, and Corojo Ligero in Lancero. I was very impressed. They probably had 12-16 different Lancero offerings which is right up my alley.

About to make a big purchase, birthday to be exact.

CigarsInternational seems nice however at least in every review of sampler packs at least 2-4 reviews say they are dry and CI should start shipping with moisture packs.

Anyone know of a site that is reputable and does care enough to ship with moisture packs?

I don't know about shipping with moisture packs, but Atlantic Cigars and Holt's have never sent me anything that I considered to be dry. I always let my orders rest in my humi for a couple weeks at least before smoking anyways.

I've ordered a bunch from CI and never had any issue with their cigars... Its also summer time in the US, I doubt they will be too dry

Going with CI then. Their samplers look awesome. Wide assortment vs other sites.

Going to order from Thompson Cigars too, they seem to be only ones to carry Empresario cigars, CigarObession said that's his cheap go to cigar in Maduro/Churchill.


Whats a bad ass coca/chocolate/dark chocolate non-infused cigar? Will all maduro's have hints of these flavors?

Not all maduros will have these flavors. With you mentioning CO previously, his website would be the best reference for finding cigars with specific flavor profiles.

I am, lots of golf and not a lot of smoking. Seems like it's either been hot as fuk, windy as chit, or too humid to smoke. I feel way better having cut way back though. Smoking about 4 cigars a month these days. 👍👍

How are things with you?
