Would you like a Cigar?

[DillonG]

I have 3 big events this year. The most important, the birth of our first child. I also have a bachelor party and wedding for a very close friend. I usually smoke sticks in the $10-$25 range. Give me some really good options on higher end cigars.

Side note, I’m not brand loyal. I really like Nicaraguan tobacco and maduro cigars. Example, Romeo Nicaragua and CAO Brazilia are in the humidor as well speak. Speaking of which, I might just need to break into one this afternoon.

Congratulations! I would get any of the My Father lime, and they are less than $10 per stick. Also, the Oliva Black Swan is a great smoke too. My favorite (not $10) is the Padron Aniversario 1964. This would be great cigar to smoke for a special occasion. Oh, and they are made in Cicaragua

I’m actually smoking an Oliva Black Swan right now.

I like the Oliva series V, I have been trying different cigars lately, Flor De Oliva have also been a decent everyday stick. Curivari is a brand I’ve really become to like

@Frederik and I taste tested some whiskies.

Three Ships 10jr, Ardberg Wee Beasti and Bowmore 12jr and of course we paired it with a cigar of the VF brand.

We could not decide on the winner so we will try again this week Friday before our BASA shoot.

Nice selection of whiskies. I really like the bowmore. They have great whiskeys ( whiskies, I do not know how it is properly spelled ). Good cigar and perfect!

Bought a Black Swan 10 cigar boxes from Oliva, Rocky Patel and EP Carillo. The Rocky Patel Black Swan are great sticks, specially if you get them on sale.

Joya de Nicaragua Dark Antono line is great value for the money. Higher end does not always mean better. Example lot of Cubans I smoked the last years were not worth the money.

Plasencia has great cigars. LFD double ligero also good cigars to name a few.

Nice bird. Turkey hunting is for me as a European something quintessential American.

We had a pre-BASA shoot mental prepping session with @Frederik and @saswart

Taste testing a few peaty whiskies and smoking excellent Oliva Series V torpedos. These were absolutely excellent smokes!!!
