Would you like a Cigar?

Happy St Patrick’s Day my friends. Smoking an Alec Bradley Shamrock Filthy Hooligan :ROFLMAO:

Very nice! This is my second of the day, I smoked a Pepe Carillo earlier today.
Never been a fan of Alec Bradley cigars, but this was a gift. It is a Med Body cigar, lots of smoke and good flavors. I actually like it. (y)
 
A store blend habano leaf by Rojas cigars. Big fan of his street taco blend, so was excited to try these carried by a local B&M. Comes with no band and a closed foot.

Hello all, just wondering if there are any cigar smokers here on the forum. If so, let us know which is your favorite one!

I like to light a cigar usually in the late afternoon and enjoy last few hours of daylight reading. Most times its a safari hunting book, others might be a book on oil and gas law. When on a hunting trip, its at the end of the day after a great hunt. I enjoy several brands from Dominican to Nicaraguan. Mostly VegaFina, La Aurora, Oliva (serie "g"). I have tasted numerous brands, but these are the ones found in my humidor.
Cuban: Montecristo NO 2
Dom Rep: Arturo Fuente Hemingway
 
Smoking a Nicaraguan Placencia Alma Fuerte.

Been blazing away on Cigar Page, stocking up on boxes of the reliables, but also venturing somewhat into the tall grass. One such cigar is a medium bodied Hoofty. A boutique brand, but very tasty and well constructed. Very smooth, even draw, with a creamy taste, and some nice subtle spicy undertones. I am a full bodied maduro kind of guy, but this cigar is just strong enough to not leave me wanting something stronger.
Great for watching the match-play golf on TV this afternoon after yard work.

Smoking a Honduran box pressed Sancho Panza, and unfortunately my last one. Great smoke and will not break the bank either. I need to get more :ROFLMAO:

As some of you may know, I’m picking up woodworking to keep me busy and out of trouble for when I retire next year. One of my many projects, what do you all think??

I cut the opening using a 1” Fostner bit. No ring gauge at all.

You could also inlay a thin piece of ball peened, or patina cooper onto the inside bottom to keep it from getting burn mark's

I’ve been thinking about putting marine grade epoxy on the bottom. I’ll have experiment and see.
 
AMBROSIA TRIPLE CORONA BY DREW ESTATES. NOT QUITE TRADITIONAL, A BIT HARD TO FIND, BUT VERY TASTY, ESPECIALLY FOR A GUY THAT DOESNT SMOKE EVERY DAY.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
