I enjoy a good cigar. Whether it costs $1 or $25, if it tastes good to me, I enjoy smoking it. I have never been a guy that was into "materialism", so to speak. I can enjoy something cheap just as easily as something expensive (if it is good quality). The funy thing is that I have this...

Back in the late 90's during a period of, shall we call it financial embarrassment, I tried a number of cheap smokes looking for one that I could afford to smoke on a daily basis without gagging. I tried a number of no name house bundles, most of them terrible, and then I came across a...

When I first got into pipe smoking I was smoking only aromatics (Boswell blends), but after about a month I tried some Latakia English blends and fell in love. I was pretty much on a strict Latakia diet after that with the occasional aromatic or Virginia tobacco thrown in. I was never really...

So I said I was going to start a few of these types of threads, oh almost a year ago...http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showthread.php?t=117749 and as I was sitting here watching my DVR of Robot Chicken, uh, I mean, History International, i thought cartoons would be a good topic. So what cartoon...

After having an already great week for my birthday, I got an unexpected thank you bomb from g8trbone today! Five beautiful sticks I have never tried. For that matter I've never had anything Padilla...until this afternoon that is :)

Who has tried the ACIDS? I mean I finally tried them and I loved them. I was pretty scared to , hearing all the smack talk I hear about them. Who secretly smokes these when noone is around, and enjoys them oh so good flavor? I mean it candy for adults, and oh so good. If you havent tried...

La Flor Dominicana Ligero L400 and a cup of home brew Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Thought I'd start some guilty pleasures threads over the next few days. The first is music. You know you like to pop in that Neil Diamond cd when no one is around...or do you know all the words to Mandy? Share your guilty music pleasure and we promise not to laugh.... too hard! I'll...

As a newbie I was reluctant to try a cob. Briar was the mecca of which I wanted to partake. Well, today was windy, but a perfect day for my deck. The trees are all in full leaf or bloom. (My deck has a full view of nothing but woods.) The temp was about 74, my shelty was by my side, and a...

Oliva Cigar Event at Pipea and Pleasures in Columbus, OH. From 4-8pm

This is not a review per se, but rather an observation. Sometimes in our search for great sticks, we forget just how pleasurable some of the 'lesser lights' can be. This evening, I asked my wife to grab a stick out of the humi, as she was nearby. She returned with a Fuente Cañones in maduro ...

Everyone has them, those guilty little pleasures that you normaly wouldn't want to get out to all your friends, you know what I mean. It's like catching a big burly chopper type riding a moped and realizing he is enjoying the ride. What cheap smoke do you enjoy that you may not want to admit, is...

Today we got up to 78 degrees, what a beautiful day. As I sit here with the window open, the peepers are out! Spring must not be that far away! I love their sound and it always brings back childhood memories of visting my grandparents. carry on lol alt

Just messing with my new camera - well a bit of cigar **** to light up a slow day!
