    Do Aromatics Suck?

    Hey man, my grandma smoked Virginia Slims, and they were pretty good smokes!

    Do Aromatics Suck?

    I tend to agree that a lot of the (let's call them) American style, goopy aromatics don't do much for me, largely because I do enjoy nicotine, and many of those blends are pretty well neutered in that regard. Then again, many Latakia blends are light in nicotine as well, and I like those. Maybe...

    Today Is Roberto Clemente Day For Major League Baseball.

    It's hard to overstate how much Clemente meant to Latino baseball, and baseball as a whole. While he wasn't the first dark-skinned player from Latin America, he was such a huge star that he was simultaneously a huge role model, but also had to deal with some lousy treatment (I.e. sportswriters...

    My New Hat from Boston Scally Hat.

    Same. I can rock a baseball hat, but that's about it. About 10 years ago, I decided I wanted a Panama hat. Got one, not super expensive, but definitely not cheap. Wore it a few times, and realized I looked like a dork. Guess I thought I'd look like AJ Fernandez or something, but looked like a...

    FIFA U-20 US Vs. N. Korea.

    I'd just as soon see the US lose if it means the North Korean kids avoid punishment. Pretty sad.

    JimInks, I've Gotta Ask.

    Everyone knows his favorite blend is the old Three Nuns. In fact, if I ever came across a tin in the wild, I'd feel obligated to send it to him. After all, I don't know what I'm missing, since I didn't start smoking pipes until long after it was gone/had changed..... OK, I might pinch a bowl or...

    Fights: AJ vs Dubois- Who Will Watch?

    Probably won't be watching it unless my roomate is. He's the boxing/MMA guy. That said, I've really enjoyed watching some recent matches. I live right on the border between the U.S. and Mexico, and Mexican fighters like Alvarez are huge here, which really surprised me because he recently fought...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    It's been a minute! Having an Enclave Broadleaf with a cappuccino artisanal from a local coffee shop here in beautiful Tijuana, Mexico. I don't know what makes it artisanal other than it cost an extra 10 pesos :ROFLMAO:

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Illusione Singulare with a cup of Oxxo coffee since I dropped my fancy cortado and didn't feel like going back since it's a tropical storm and all. This is a marvelous cigar, and I can't think of a better way to pass the time during my first ever tropical storm, which has been pretty mild so far...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    How does the Piedra compare to the Quintero? I seem to recall the Piedras getting some love on some CC forums, but don't really remember. Since the going rate for a standard Robusto is around 30 bucks down here, I'll take any deal I can find.

    Manhattans are the best whiskey cocktail. That's my hot take for the day

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    When I was a new cigar smoker, I got turned on to Flor de Oliva bundles, and I smoked through my share of the Corojo bundles. Never did try the maduro version. Does the maduro have a sweet tip like the original Sumatra version?

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Well, hold on, you can't say family day trip without telling us where you went... 😆 Now smoking a Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua. Quite good

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Yo! I've actually been smoking cigars for way longer than the pipe... The main reason I don't post about my pipe smoking is I've been extremely boring with it lately. It's basically one of the Gawith Dark Flakes, a rope, or Haunted Bookshop/OJK.... As for Tijuana, I think the area I'm living...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Good bless remote work. Where you just know they want to bust your balls for smoking at work, but can't... 🤣 The first time I did it on a team meeting my boss (a pretty great boss in general) was like, "What the hell are you doing," and you could tell the gears were turning a bit before he just...

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Just finished moving into my new place in Tijuana, smoking a Jaime Garcia robusto with some water. The commute sucks but can't beat the neighborhood for the price.

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Aganorsa Cerberus "lonsdale". Sorry but this a Corona (6×44). Yeah I'm that guy.... A Lonsdale has to be be a bit longer than 6" (but less than 7") to be a Lonsdale, IMO. Killer smoke though. Fantastic!

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    That's a bummer they've been so tight. I've really enjoyed that line. A real steak dinner of a cigar... Now smoking an Avión Tuxtla with some coffee from the same area as the cigar wrapper, Veracruz, Mexico.
