Re: Holding smoke & tasting
phobicsquirrel: pilgrimtex:This is where pairing comes in. Yea I do all the above but what is great is to take a swig of a good brown colored spirit, Than take a good draw. Let the flavors mix and then use the nose. A good cigar and a good spirit just marry together. The spirit lingers through a few draws and then its time… -
Re: Odd Cigar Pairing
The Sniper:Me bruddahs, I made a shocking discovery this morning in cigar pairings - popped a pomegranate 5 hour energy shot this morning after finishing a Drew Estates Chateau Real Maduro and that nasty taste 5 hour energy shots usually have was nowhere to be found! Personally, I think the 5 Hour Energy makers should… -
The Dentist
My Dentist is a great guy he does good work. Unfortunately, I've needed a lot of it this week including a tooth extraction. A tooth extraction is little bit like wrestling, except you can only use your neck and the other guy has you on your back with a pair of pliers in your mouth. Tooth extraction probably hasn't changed… -

Because you don't like them or because you won't bs able to let them sit that long? they are just way too tempting. I feel your pain Taylor.

Re: Palate warmups?
james40:Lately, I've been running into some taste issues. Most times the cigars don't have much taste to me, whether I pair with water or coffee or beer. I definitely don't have a developed palate concerning cigars but I'm wondering if there are suggestions or guidelines for warming up your palate pre light? Kind of like… -
Re: Beers
TatuajeVI:Speaking of IPAs! Dogfishhead's 60 minute is excellent, the 90 minute is unbelievable. Anything from Stone or Rogue is fabulous. The Stone Ruination IPA is pretty ridiculous both in price and in taste. :) If you can find any Michigan beers - New Holland Brewing company makes a ton of great beer, as does Bell's… -
Re: South East Herf!!
Krieg: rossdavey2: doromath:Yeah most likely some quarter cask Laphroaig and/or beer. Laphroaig is an Islay scotch so it's really peaty and is my go-to single malt. For me it pairs with damn near everything :p If I make it I got a bottle of Talisker 10year. Great island malt without the Laphroaig price tag. Bottle runs… -
Re: Need info on opus!
kingjk729:It's funny cause I've now smoked six or seven OPUS X's and I still remember before smoking my first , reading posts and reviews and being like "what the hell am I getting myself into" . Everyone talked about the strength and to make sure that I smoked it on a full stomach and not to smoke to fast as I don't want… -
Re: First cigar
About the draw; you're right that it's a full draw - if you take short puffs, you only heat up the tobacco which turns it bitter. If you wanna know what a proper draw is like, take a glass of water and a straw - suck the water in then spit it out - that's how your draws should be. You use the suction from your cheeks, not… -
Re: Martel's Marvelous Musings on Magnificent Miasmas of Merit
"By Tatuaje." I guess that makes this my first Tat. I found its construction to be very high quality. The cigar felt nice in the hand. A light touch along the stick gave the impression of felt or velvet on the fingers. Fuzzy, if you will. Not oily or dry. Different to the touch from other cigars I've had, for sure. I…
