    I'll have to try that

    I feel bad I used to hit my local cigar shop but the prices are crazy compared to online


    I smoke a lot of cigarettes. When I buy an occasional cigar it's at a local shop. But yes, buy a Padron.

    like with any cigar, they'll be good one and bad ones

    just make sure to keep it properly stored so that when you do smoke it it will have it's optimal flavor

    doesn't have to be a special occasion...just make sure to smoke it when you can really enjoy it

    Yeah I've noticed that I'll smoke a cigar and its great the next time its not even close

    I seem to have the best tasting cigars on vacation :lol:

    Must be the environment more than the stogie. Maybe Thanksgiving I'll break out the cuban

    First time I went to Germany my buddy and I went to a smoke shop in Munich and we each bought a Cuban cigar. First time really enjoying a cigar and we decided to drink wine........not a good idea. It was hot and we were part of a group tour. I remember sitting in a church with a wild and crazy buzz wishing and saying I'll never do this again god. lol

    The worst experience I ever had was I drank a lot of this : Jersey Devil Port
    Our deep rich and velvety Cynthiana wine fortified with brandy and oak aged for 3 years. Alc. 19.5% By Vol.

    Its a local wine...I had a stogie with it I was loopy/nauseous for hours :lol:


    Yeah I did too

    I did a search but nothing came up

    Smoked a Griffin on the porch last night. Damn near froze my ass off! But it was gooooood! But it got me thinking, has anyone built a "smoking" room in their house? I have an old coal shed and I just had the oil tank removed opening up a bunch of space in the basement. I figured if I walled and floored it off, sheet rocked it with insulation and a plastic barrier of some type(?) and added a restaurant type exhaust fan in the window, I could have a smoking room for me and two buddies for the cold winter months. Maybe without stinking up the rest of the house? :o Throw in a couch, a barca lounger and a cd player, and I'm listening to PJ and smoking cigars during the long, cold winter. I'd call it my Smokin' Man Cave. :lol:

    How about it? Anybody ever do something like this? Or know of anyone who has? Fill me in if you can.

    Peace.

    I know the house I'm getting next year has a small green room. I might convert it to a smoking room.

    Padron 1964 Anniversary Series was probably the best I've ever smoked.

    Very nice, too expensive for me. I call it good at about $30

    I popped down US$28 for it at the Casino gift shop. I was already suited up so I figured a good cigar was in order. I was craving a Padron though, but there was no real store nearby.

    Oh my, I thought those were more costly... Very cool, I'll have to try one out next time I'm at the tobacco shop. Even the $20 Padron's are tasty... They know what they're doing
