Re: The "doesn't need a caption contest" thread
If we're going to have a coin that says "Fight fight fight" why not have a picture of Geronimo on it? Dude took a band of 17 Apaches, including women and children, and fought 5,000 U.S. Troops to a stalemate over a 2 year period, and lived through being shot about 7 times. There's a genuine fighter for you.

It’s about a 6x48 medium body and strength at this part but very enjoyable.
I've had one. I can't remember for sure, but it seems like that was one I inherited when my neighbor passed. Did I send it to you? I remember sending a bunch of those inherited cigars to @Purple_Penguin01 , perhaps he shared that one with you? I remember that I liked it.
David, my neighbor, bought almost exclusively from C.I. , if that's helpful at all.

Well one of the guys made ribs again. And he can’t make ribs! Both times they were too tough and dry to eat. I don’t know how to tell him nicely his ribs suck balls and he needs to stop.
Tell him to use a crock pot next time.

Welcome aboard. With you being new to cigars, I’m curious of your process as to how you decide what cigars are going to compliment what you’re drinking.
I am very familiar with the whiskey pallets, so when I choose a pour I look for tasting notes on cigars that I think will compliment it best (if it is a cigar I have not had)
For instance if I am going to drink a lower proof bourbon that is vanilla forward with some baking spices but is thin then I want a cigar that is mild body but creamy with some nuttiness or woodiness to enhance the mouthfeel experience and compliment that baking spice.
So I go off my whiskey knowledge and rely on tasting notes I look up Unless it is a cigar I have had.
Welcome Todd. Much like varying rye/bourbon palates the same holds true for cigar/pipe tobacco palates. I’m sure reading someone else’s cliff notes about a cigar is taken with the same grain of salt as a reviewer of spirits.
There are plenty of knowledgeable cigar knowledge and spirits connoisseurs here that may have some insight into what cigar blends possibly pairs with what.
Good luck. I hope you find something useful and of interest to you on this forum.
Again, welcome.
Re: Aromatic sampler pass.
Probably. I feel like I’ve been smoking about any available time I have over the last month or so. I gotta start smoking those suckers down faster haha I am a super slow smoker.
