NUance Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Alex Bradley Family Blend. About 6.5" x 50 ring. A real long cigar, with very tasting leaf. Surprisingly, it's not a very well constructed cigar. The wrapper at the head end came loose before I even had it lit. It's basically falling apart as I'm smoking it right now. And it's burning somewhat unevenly too. This surprises me since Alec Bradleys are known to be one of the highest quality cigars available. Go figure. Quote Link to comment
admo Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Was enjoying a little cigar earlier lol. Black & Mild Wine wooden tip. This weekend I ordered an MM Corn Cob straight pipe. Wanted the briar. But before this experimental hobby turns me into a big time enthusiast, I went with something cheap. Also picked up these pipe tobaccos to try out. Molto Dolce (Sutliff private stock) Dunhill Early Morning Dunhill Royal Yacht University Flake Peter Skokkebye 47 Dansk Black Orlik Golden Slice GH Kendall Kentucky In honor of the great John Candy, I have been searching for a similar cigar he was smoking in Uncle Buck. Don't know what it was. Maybe a thin panatela? I have also been searching around for some 15-20 minute cigars too. If you have any recommendations, let me know 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted March 23, 2015 Author Share Posted March 23, 2015 I've had a couple of these Tierra del Sol (Torpedo 6.1"x54 ring) by Perdomo this past week. (Yeah, that's right. My Lent sacrifice is shot to hell. LOL) These might be the best cigars I've had. In recent history, anyway. They're not terribly expensive. You can get a bundle of 20 for $70 + shipping from www.cigarsinternational.com Quote Link to comment

I just don't think it would make for a very good cigar. Of all those shapes and sizes, I'd say the double toro (6.1" x 50 ring) suits me about the best. Quote Link to comment

Double Toro is a great smoke...I find lately that I order the robusto sizes more than anything. I rarely get more than an hour to myself to smoke, and that fits in perfectly with the time slot!

NUance Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 Enjoying a stick from that little Communist Caribbean island nation this morning. Or so I'm told. It was gifted to me from a buddy who heads down to the Caymans once in a while. Smallish size, 5" x 40 ring. These are great sticks. But really not any better than some of the blends out of Nicaragua. Quote Link to comment

Some loser in your party likes the plastic-tipped ones. Not going to name names, but he currently resides in KC and hates to be in Lincoln before 3 PM. The little cigars are always fun, until you have more than one and you realized you made the worst mistake of your life. Quote Link to comment

I tried some a long time ago. Used to work in a liquor store, and I could get things at a discount from the owner. A homeless guy came in one day and bought a bottle of MD 20/20, then asked me directions to the nearest park. (Apparently he was new in town.) Anyway, I was curious so I bought a bottle for myself to try. It wasn't terrible. By my standards, anyway. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 MD 20/20 is not horrible...if you have it ice cold and over ice and with more ice. Quote Link to comment
