    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2024

    I never smoke cigars...MAYBE one a year. But doing some CAD work outside in the evening heat (bottom of the world is in full summer) and a few mosquitos are around so I figured I would light up a swisher sweet, and it sure is sweet!

    Does Cellaring Make Sense if You are Still Finding your Palate?

    I think a bit of cellaring is worth while if you know you are enjoying something in the present...you can always trade it at a later date if your taste buds change.

    New Person Questions/Discussion

    Slow your cadence right down, just sip. Slower than you think. Flavour can be good to the bottom of the bowl. Don't count your relights, trying to keep it going is one of the ways you get it too hot. Packing 'technique' is different for different folks, but generally you want the draw of the...

    Tobacco is Sacred

    I really enjoy that museum, particularly the Nonesuch ship, I have lived in Winnipeg for 6 years in the past so have walked through a few times... Colonial ghosts and throwback all make sense to me in the context of a museum, I guess I only find it as absurd as everything else our species does...

    Tobacco is Sacred

    I was walking through Manitoba museum a couple of weeks ago, and appreciating the importance of tobacco, with each treaty individually observed with an elaborate pipe and pipe bag gifted, and in the corner of exhibits with sacred items there was a small bowl of tobacco...

    No Licorice or Anise Flavour

    You could stick to tobacco flavoured tobacco, there are lots of options. BCA is a basic sugar sweet, so that should be safe.

    Where do you Find Peak Enjoyment?

    I generally enjoy the whole bowl, without breaking the smoke into 'parts'...however if I am revisiting a favourite blend for the first time in a while, the char note is a heightened experience.

    Are We Too Casual?

    I TRY not to have specific standards for others to adhere to...but I still find myself judging and ranting a lot. I think there is a general baseline of courtesy that has plummeted for sure.

    What drinks to pair with tobacco?

    It's not like pairing for meals. Just drink what you like drinking, with whatever you like smoking. You will probably develop favourite combos.

    I remember reading one of the 'classics' talking about how the oriental cigarette companies always made very tasty smokes when they started, gaining a reputation for a good blend of spicy oriental leaf, but would quickly descend into a bland 'straw and camel hair' filled smoke, making way for...
