Any rate, Mi nombre es Eric. I'm in Las Vegas. But which one? Maybe I'm in a meadow, maybe I'm on the fertile soil between two rivers. I've been an enthusiastic cigar enthusiasts for 24 years. First cigar I smoked was a Monte. I was graduating a group home so the director (Dan) took all of us on a camping trip. The last day of the trip, Dan offered up a short fly fishing tour for those of us leaving, all three of us accepted. During pack up from the expedition Dan suddenly leaves 3 sticks, a cutter and lighter on the picnic bench and says "I have some stuff to handle over here for about an hour, you boys better not smoke those." After watching staff and directors of the home for 8 months, I was pretty confident I knew how to cut and light a cigar. It was an adolescent rehab, you'd better believe most of the staff loved cigars. I don't remember it being spectacular, I kind of remember the youngest in the group getting a good heave in.
Fast forward 6 years record scratch. I'm high and drunk in Las Vegas. Walking past the MGM we see pro-am UBC qualifier tickets advertised for $15 a head. So we head in for tickets. Mind you this is June in Las Vegas on a weeknight, the central box office wasn't open. Turns out tickets are available at a house package store. I knew Cohiba and there was one with a black band, so I got it and 100ml of Presidente XO Brandy to go with my ticket. That cigar changed my smoking forever. I had inexplicably and unknowingly obtained the first production of the Cohiba Black.
I dated a Cubana for a while. Tio was always dropping his latest smuggling successes on the troop. At least Tio's cigars all had coca leaf rolled in about a third up. But since my experience was with only 1 troop and 2 families, I won't say that coca leaf is the magic most are looking for in a Cuban cigar. Coca doesn't get one high, it's a hypoxia treatment at best. But Tio swore, that is where the smooth creamy magic happens in a Cuban cigar.
I would smoke a pipe, mostly, for years. Then I quit smoking all together for decade. Got back to it with that alternative Dutch Master filler. Then last December, I found out about online stock auctions for cigars. I now own a ice chest with folding agricultural bins full of 27 different brands of outstanding cigars. I now enjoy smoking nearly once a day. Twice on the weekends. Upon my return, I fancied myself a New World (blends/locations not the brand) smoker, yet I still very much adore the Old World blends after identifying New World blends as universally tasting like leather, pepper and cocoa at the core.
I've got a long story, but I still know only a little in a world of tens of thousands of blends.
They're only flagging you because you're from Las Vegas. Where you at in Vegas? What shops do you hang out in?
@ScotchnSmoke sux lots of large wéiners. And tons of small ones.
Well if anyone is in Pa and close to Pymatuning lake feel free to stop in and enjoy a cigar on the homestead. What does any normal person do at 67 but spend their sons inheritance on pigs and ponies.(lets skip the word normal for a bit,lol). Anyway, smoked a little while years ago and now that three sons are raised it is time for me to enjoy a couple of things I enjoy. Have 11 acres here, building a barn, raising Meishan pigs, and learning to drive ponies.
