A fine beginning to the end of the day

Life in the fast lane. A sip of gentlemen Jack and a chocolaty Oliva V as the sun sets.

What kind of cigars do y’all have on standby? What are your go to cigars? Personally I do not smoke many cigars and was looking to get some ideas. I’m feeling optimistic about tomorrow!

Since we are bumping posts, this one makes me happy.

I smoked a Fuente.. You?

My favorites to keep on hand are Rocky Patel vintage 1990 and Aging Room Nicaragua. Lots of flavor, good burn, very consistent quality and not real expensive. If I want a pricier stick (like for the Bama-Tennessee game) I’ll go Padron 1964 or 1926.

The aging room Quattro is a good go to stick for a reasonable price. The RP, meh. Though the 1990 is one of their better ones. I would rather do an R&J or a Camacho than an RP

Montecristo white label?

Montecristo white label?

Sounds right. Went to a place called Blue Smoke. The guy was insanely helpful. I don't a lot about cigars. Told him we needed two for the game and asked about Dominican cigars. He recommended the ones in the photo and I think now you're right

@loggervol @Gandalf @Tin Man

Got a sample pack of Johnny Walker Scotch. I've never had Scotch before and need tips as to how one properly consumes Scotch. TIA

Sorry malin, I’m not much of a brown liquor drinker. Beer and vodka are my go to drinks.

Not sure how to tell you this but a "Bill Clinton" is not a cigar you are smoking but when someone is smoking your cigar. Unless of course you are into that...crazy world these days

Lovely Ladies!

Just checking things out back with a nice Connie. Smooth and well made. Mild of course but can almost taste a few flavors if I retro (which is rare for me).

Ah a dark R&J! How was it?

Really should be a banning offense not to give us an opinion with a smoke. Like putting a players name in the title with no other info.

Really nice stick. I would recommend this cigar. It had a nice blend of flavors. Dark chocolate, oak, cedar, cinnamon, and some back pepper. It also had a sweetness that I couldn’t quite figure out.

Gandalf, I don’t know if you’d like it.

Hmm… Not liking an R&J… Don’t know if I’d like that.

Sounds TERRIBLE! I think I will have to try one for myself to see how bad it is

Another tough evening sitting on the back porch.


I do so love figurados. Enjoy the way it burns and keeps the temp cool while smoking.

 

[Gandalf]

Any of you Chattanooga/Cleveland fellas know a good club to smoke? I am going to be in town for a month or two and want to know where to go. I have plenty of sticks but more of a place to hang out with some friendly well connected locals.

I hear Burns Tobacconist has a private club and there is the Ocoee Cigar lounge. These any good and what else?

Off work early. Been alcohol free since 12/26/22. Celebrating the end of tea totaling with a dram of Nelson Brothers Original and an A. J. Fernández New World Cameroon. Leather and spice.

 

[Tin Man]

Arturo Fuentes cazadore and some Stump Jump red blend.

Finished yard work early. Enjoying a Gispert with a bit of Nelson Bothers Original.
