Cigar Smokers

I recently got more into the world of cigars during the lockdown. They make a great occasional treat (I'm not made of money). Lots of variety within the UK at reasonable prices, somewhere between £10-20 per stick for a 40-60 min smoke. You dont need the old world Cubans every time, you can get good sticks from brands like Avo and Regius and other new worlds. If you only want to possess a few cigars at a time I would recommend an acrylic jar and digital hygrometer.
Now a pipe is class! Miss the smell of them around, you don’t see them often now.
I find them a bit like whiskey
DISGUSTING
and they stink!
All the more for us!
Ah well, your loss!
Supposedly some very rich Americans from the South seem to enjoy ripping open top tier cigars to chew the tobacco...
Would rather the cigar be left untouched if that is the case!

Nice topic. I really enjoy (total weakness) a bit of a smoke when outdoors, but only special outings or days out. Never ventured that far into cigars so my knowledge isn’t great. Monticristo No.4’s Are brilliant (price / quality) and you wouldnt want more than 1 in 24 hrs.
In my experience the enjoyment / quality can vary massively depending on how they have been stored and how old they are. Well stored in a humidor pays dividends.
I have to say, I am a big whisky drinker but I don’t enjoy cigar and whisky at all. Red wine or port would be my favourite accompaniment.

Hi
I smoked black cherry for years. A lovely smoke and as you say most people liked the smell. Had some Lung issues so had to quit all Tobacco. Still got got my pipes though and still miss it.

The last time we were in Mozambique I took some monstrously expensive cigars - I think they were about £60 each - but a friend has got them via duty free at a discount.
Long Short.
Four days of effort and my Buffalo is down. It is time to celebrate. I give each of the trackers a cigar, pass one to my hunting partner and light one up.
After a few moments, my mate draws my attention to the trackers. They have broken off a tiny segment of their cigars and are busying rolling it into a Rizzler paper.
I do not know whether to laugh or cry...

Love that!
Reminds me of a saying we had in Uni: "Only the rich students can afford to bin the buts out of their ashtrays".

I do like an epicure No2. That was my favourite holiday cigar when still allowed to go to the sun. Sit on the balcony or verandah at the end of the day, a post prandial coffee and whatever the decent local spirit is, watch the sun go down with a quiet smoke.
Then off to bed for a bonk.
Well, a man can dream.

Thought it might be an idea to try a pipe needless Monday it wasnt successful nearly choked that's as far as I got
All down to technique. Practice for a week or so without lighting it until you're familiar with handling it and drawing on it.
Pipesmokers spend more time fiddling about than actually smoking, so by not lighting it you won't be any different from the others anyway!
I confess I do enjoy a pipe from time to time.
