    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    The days are flying by and I haven’t had a cigar in almost a week now, so tonight it’s an Oliva V robusto while I sit on the deck and listen to the animals getting ready for their night’s activities. Pleasant aroma, but not much flavor at all so far in the first inch. I hope it improves: the...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Long, dull work meeting, so I’m having half-bowls of Northwoods in the Falcons.

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    Good point, though all measurements are approximate when dealing with a bowl that small ;) To be accurate, I should try a half-bowl of CH too, but I guess I'm not that interested... It's probably the novelty, but I'm really enjoying these Falcons so far. I've been in Phoenix in August, and I...

    ***What Are You Smoking, August 2024?***

    After 9 third-bowls of Carter Hall (breaking in my new Falcon bowls), I was getting bored with it, so this morning I decided to switch to something different: OJK Blue Label. I can’t say that I’m a fan so far. It started off pretty bitter, but I did burn the crap out of it at first. A lighter...

    Solitary or Social Smoker?

    In 10 months I’ve smoked once with a coworker at a company retreat, and twice with my wife when she had a cigarette while I had a cigar. She’s also come outside a few other times while I’ve had a cigar or pipe, but usually complained about the smell: she grew up with cigarette smokers, so that’s...

    Hello from Alberta

    Welcome from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan! Before last September, I had never smoked anything in my life; I hate everything about cigarettes. But I developed an interest in cigars, and ordered a sampler when I was laid off, figuring that I’d give them a try. I didn’t know what I was missing...

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Last week I bought some Falcon stems and bowls from tobaccopipes.com, and got the Cringle Flake 2023 for an extra $5. I had wanted to try the Compare and Share but didn’t want to pay the shipping for that alone, so I added that to the order too.

    TAD Acquisitions 2024

    Yours and mine both. She does try to resist commenting, and sometimes she’s even successful. The other day I made the mistake of saying that she has more sewing machines than I have pipes, but then I counted.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I buy more than I can smoke, so the newer ones can rest while I smoke the older ones. That’s what I tell my wife, anyway ;)

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I’ve been looking forward to the Blue Eyed Jack myself. Maybe this evening! How long do you rest them after delivery? Holt’s COTM cigars typically needed a few months, in my experience, which is one of the reasons I canceled that one. Smoke Inn’s August delivery will be here tomorrow, and it...

    The Smoke Inn COTM? Your last few posts look like the July selection. I haven’t tried any of them yet, and appreciate your comments on them!

    ***What Are You Smoking, July 2024?***

    At least I’m speaking softly. Or something. Today I gave all 3 bowls their second Carter Hall break in treatment. I like the light weight of the Falcons
