Late to the Cigar bar, but my current favorite is: I recently found this online cigar shop which I love. They have a store in PA (I know many of you are from PA...). They have a great selection, great prices and have a lot of deals all the time on boxes. I've placed a few order with them over the last few months, and I get the cigars a day or 2 later. Very happy with them. No, I'm not affiliated at all... http://www.famous-smoke.com/ I like a mild cigar, and my favorites right now are: Carlos Torano Reserva Decadencia Churchill: These are mild, smooth and have a hint of wine flavor. The Tabaco is fermented in old port wine barrels! LOVE these!! http://www.famous-smoke.com/carlos+torano+reserva+decadencia+churchill+cigars/item+26051 A fairly cheap mild cigar, well made and I've been loving them lately: Augusto Reyes selects Dulce: http://www.famous-smoke.com/augusto+reyes+factory+selects+dulce+toro+cigars/item+37483 Torano Reserve Selecta another great mild cigar!
Make sure you are using their discount codes!! "BOTL" is a guaranteed 15% off but I have seen other codes for $40 off $150 around too.
Have to disagree,you do not smell it because you are a smoker.For people that smoke ocasionally or not at all,it is there forever(almost).It tends to linger in the headliner.Growing up with a mother that was a chain smoker(cigs) just the smell can make me puke,but I love a good cigar.Cleaning cars has come a long way,with removal and pressure washing carpet,small steam units to clean door panels and headliners,and then running an ozonator for severaldays,to remove the smoke(and other) smells.
Gotta disagree I smoke 1-2 a week and the wife HATES the smell, never once has she gotten in a car I smoked in the next day and complained.... Its all in the technique
Matt, maybe it has a lot to do with our choice of tobacco? On Sunday, I drove for 25 min. with the window open (brrr)(on the rust bucket) to meet my bros for garage help project. The truck was parked with the window open and someone went to put a treat into my console and voiced their opinion on the smell. BTW, he lives with a smoker.
Well, you can add another gurkha to my list of good cigars. I enjoy the regent box pressed and now also the widowmaker. Took me two days and three different re-lights to finish that one.
Speaking of smell, what do you guys do about breath after smoking, or do you even care? My wife HATES how I smell after smoking a cigar. I can quickly wash my beard in the sink and put a clean shirt on which helps, but brushing my teeth and using mouthwash doesn't seem to help a whole lot with my breath, which she seems most sensitive to.
Bass, I've found that when I have a cheapie cigar, the smell/taste lingers on and on and on. I usually end up throwing those away as soon as I think they're going to be bad. When I have a "better" cigar, a quick brushing/rinse will do the trick. Mild cigars leave less of a undesired taste/smell in your mouth, but you give up taste IMO. I smoke cigars for me, not her, so I will smoke the ones I like and deal with the consequences (smell/taste leftover) accordingly. There was only one cigar that I had before we jumped in the car for a drive and the smell was so lingering that she actually lowered the window. I turned the car around and we went back. Ended up re-washing and shampooing, the whole nine yards of morning cleanup routine! (Those cigars are on the give-away list!)
Just saw these today and thought someone else would appreciate the irony of them! http://www.cigarsinternational.com/cigars/75405/the-log/ And while we're at it... http://www.cigarsinternational.com/samplers/56866/natural-by-drew-estate-egg/#p-10186
Caddy Shack candy bar in pool. and QUOTE="bogydave, post: 200324, member: 160"] I assumed log jams from flooded rivers. Anyway , Dung burgers burn fine (burning dung): View attachment 37923 LOL [/QUOTE]
Most of the ones I smoke would be in the $5-9 range if I got them at the local shop, which I don't think is cheap. But almost all of them are dark. Oddly enough, last summer I smoked a lot of $2 cigars which the wife never had a problem with.
I've got the "fart fan" installed in the workshop and ready to go. Now, to just get enough courage to lit up a gurkha.... Maybe while she's at work?
Well, with 99 lbs on her annual shopping trip, I'm going to live on the edge and light up a cigar in the basement workshop to "test" the fart fan I've installed for such an occasion! Shhh!
