Latakia blends are where it's at. In Europe we have to try particularly hard to get some of those lat-bombs you guys smoke. You know, the Cornell and Diehl blends. I think most of us European latakia lovers stick with Dunhill blends, nightcap is probably the best we have.

It's really good when you mix in Virgina and Burley for the blend.

Happiness is a house cigar from your local tobacconist shop that is under $5 and is rich and satisfying. This is the revenge against cheap cigars.

JPS Blue. The offie didn't have black. Once you go black... etc etc

for those not of british extraction, these are a sub-premium brand, with a multitude of varieties, and a dry, dusty flavour

Easy! Don`t outsmart yourself here.


They soon will put these "scary" lung-cancer images on cigarette boxes here in germany.
Question: Will they print the same on a fine wooden 300 dollar cigar box?

Yes, and not just on the wrapper, they'll use those stickers with the glue that never comes off

If you stop smoking because someone is telling you to quit, I feel sorry for you. Smoking tobacco goes hand in hand with drinking. Deal with it and quit your whining. Thank you. Now I will have my bedtime Martini and cheap cigar. See you tomorrow.

You know, every time we've seen you on that Skype thing, no one can see your face for all of the smoke.

Sometimes, one would suspect that you have several going at once, as well, as two or three between the teeth.

Damn fine pics, good drinker.

I’ve never smoked a whole cigarette, although I’ve been smoking cigars since I was eleven or twelve. We’d swipe a couple packs of Swisher Sweets, along with a few bottles of cheap wine on a Friday or Saturday night, then sit around a fire out in the woods, drinking, smoking, and discussing the relative merits of Ripple, Annie Green Springs, and Boone’s Farm (as if they had any relative merits). We smoked those cigars like we were tycoons.

Since then, I’ve developed a bad habit of grinding my teeth (has to do with a woman), and I do this when I have a cigar in my mouth, as well as when I don’t, so my cigars tend to get mangled on one end. I sometimes wind up with bits of tobacco stuck between my teeth, but I tell people I get twice the use out of my cigars by lighting one end and chewing on the other, meeting in the middle.

A few years ago, I was walking out of a grocery store, unwrapping a cigar, when a little white-haired old woman stopped in front of me and shook her finger in my face.

“Why do you smoke those things?” she asked. “Do you know what you look like? You look like you’ve got a big dog turd hanging out of your mouth! Why do you smoke those things?!”

I took the cigar out of my mouth, held it out and examined it while I pondered the question: Why did I smoke these things? Finally, I had the answer.

“When I chew them,” I told her, “I get shit in my teeth.”

Great collection! I detect a Savinelli signature free hand in the foreground. Have one very similar which has been a close friend for 25yrs.

Unfortunately not, It's a Ben Wade freehand probably early 80s when Preben Holm was at the helm.

To be honest though i'm not massively into the freehands, I like the more classic shapes. Though a Savinelli Autograph freehand with a nice straight grain...
