What Are You Smoking or What Do You Enjoy Smoking? (Pipe and Cigar Thread)

[Wudidiz]

When I was in SE Asia in 1966-67, we smoked alot of things with a bamboo water pipe.

 

[PUCKER]

Among my favorites: Fuente, Padron (1964 Anniversario Maduro), Plascencia, etc...all of the maduro persuasion. Some of my racing / cigar / gun brothers / sisters and I get together most Tuesdays in Grapevine at Tap In on Main St. It's a nice, cigar-friendly joint. When we are not there we are chilling n grilling on my patio, also in Grapevine. Drop me a line if you are interested in coming out.

Keep your eyes open for a stolen Glock 43 driving a blurry, older white pickup around Grapevine.

I'm a daily cigar smoker. I have come to really appreciate the Oliva offerings. Serie V, Master Blends... even the "normal" Serie O and G

For a lot of my daily smokes, I enjoy the Brick House fumas sticks, and Patel Edge fumas...

I still enjoy the Patel 1992 blend.

If I had to choose one cigar to smoke from now on, though, it would be the Fuente Hemingway Signature.... they are just too pricey for a daily smoke.... but you cannot go wrong with that one, or nearly any of the Padron smokes.

Indeed.

Enjoyed a Padron 700 Maduro last evening.

Royal Jamaican maduro was the go-to, but a monster hurricane destroyed the crops, buildings, equipment, and roads. They never reopened.
Now its one of these when I can get them

I had one of the Oliva V cigars a few weeks ago and enjoyed it. I'm still very new to the cigar game, so it's a bit tough at this point to identify between macro flavors, but I'm working on it.

Have you had the Fuente Brevas Royal NT?

Thank you for your kind concern for my wellbeing.

Thank you for your kind concern for my wellbeing.

Most welcome, no sarcasm intended AT ALL. Just hate to see folks paying hard earned money for something that is not what is advertised. I hear that some fakes are actually pretty decent.

Current crop is low. But this is what I’m rocking. My brother is a manager at ElDorado fine cigars in McKinney Texas. He’s legit if you ever get by there. Good folks at that store.

I got a lot more to say about this… but I’m on my phone. I’ll have to save this for a time when I’m on a laptop.

I've had the Brevas... not sure if it was the Royal NT.... I'll have to look that one up. The Brevas, as the name implies, are a very nice quick smoke. Fuente does not make bad cigars.... at least none that I've seen. I used to really like the 8-5-8's.. for the money.... but they have gone up, like everything else that is popular.
