    Welcome newbies. I've been catching-up on this thread since June, I don't ever remember laughing so hard @Rdp77 looks like I missed a lot.

    I was born a fool, and just got bigger!

    Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

    @Diver43 you anywhere near Harbor Cigars?

    If that is the one in Destin, I remember seeing it some time ago while visiting a sporting goods store. It is a little over an hour drive from my house. I am between Pace and Milton in an area called Pea Ridge.

    I grew up and graduated from Niceville

    Hello

    My name is Todd and I am from Northeast Ohio.

    >

    I probably approach it differently than others here however. I tend to only smoke when I am having a pour, I look for cigars to compliment or even better elevate the whiskey putting the whiskey first.

    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.

    If it don’t bother me, it don’t bother me. Just leave me alone.

    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.

    Regarding a cigar, the pipe and the open road, go forward without hurry, learn the essence of things through frequent experiences, taking advantage of every occasion.

    Yes I know to take them with a grain of salt, but until I try it myself it is what I have to go by.
