What cigar (or pipe) did you smoke today?

[BobC]

Thank you for clearing that up. I've never had or even seen any of those you mentioned, but I certainly agree that a good cigar and a good scotch add up to a fine and enjoyable combination.

Here is a look at it. You are too far away to hoist a glass together. [huh]

 

[jamespowers]

Yeah, do you mean The Dalmore Cigar Malt Single Highland Malt Scotch Whiskey (86 Proof)?

If so, excellent choice. Of course, personally I love it, and easily go through 6 bottles a year.

Thanks. I do tend to slip in other brands as well---even a rye now and then. :cheers1:

Currently, I'm taking a break from all the Ike preparations (we've done all we're going to, by now) and am enjoying my last Fuente Fuente Opus X Double Corona. Sadly, no adult beverage, as I'll need to be at least semi-alert throughout the night...

Thank you. I pulled the bottle image off to my desktop, and I'll look for a bottle the next time I'm at the liquor store. Perhaps we can share a taste through cyberspace here on the lounge sometime soon.

Tonights smoke, CAO Brazilia. on the hammock.

I tend to like the Muniemaker cigars. They are not expensive but for me are a good all around smoke if I am out working in the yard or sitting back and having a cold one outside.

i just had a bowl of Briar-Patch "Tapestry" and i really liked it...first bowl since i bought the stuff...very smooth with a hint of spice...much better then the crapper stuff i was smoking before...

 

[vonwotan]

No cigar today - it was time to break in a newly acquired Dunhill Estate Pipe - an unsmoked root briar pipe with a short round bowl and an interesting shaped stem... (I lack the vocabulary to properly describe my pipes...) The tobacco of the day is called "Tashkent" from LJ Peretti. Its a somewhat spicy blend of Izmir Turkish and Latakia tobaccos.

My shipment of Oliveros arrived. Tonight was a Oliveros LTD.
That's a very nice smoke. Medium strength, full flavor, nice draw.

Went well with Deanston 17 year old single malt scotch.

Tonight at work was a Top Cigar natural. I think this would be a decent cigar but every time I get a cigar from this shop they or seem to be dry, or always something wrong.[huh]

JP, I thought I'd let you know, I stopped into my favorite beverage haunt today and asked about the Dalmore. They didn't have it on hand but said they had carried it before. They're going to order a fifth for me and call when they have it. I think the gentleman said order day was Friday, so I'll probably get a taste early next week. I wish I had one or two (or a box) of my favorite Cubans to enjoy with it (Partagas Series D No. IV).

Just ordered a box of CAO Brazilias and a box of Por Larranaga maduros. I see they are starting to run out of some sizes, must be on the down slope.

Did get ten 5 Vegas Series A atomics, They will be my first 5 Vegas anything.

About to go smoke my first bowl of the day--some Lane's vanilla-flavored. Nice way to great the afternoon.

Oh geez, you are killing me. I just had my last Partagas of that type about a month ago. :eusa_doh:
Now I am in the mood for some Dalmore again.

What!? Running out?! I need to get some figurados! Ahhhhh!
Good! They still have the figurados and I already have a box of the toros and double coronas.

CAO Brazilia again tonight.

 

[jamespowers]

CAO Brazilia again tonight.

Now there is a surprise.
Last night was a two cigar evening. The first was the now out of stock Por Larranaga Toro. The second was an interesting but waaaaayyyyy mild Spirit of Cuba Habano. Better than their regular Spirit of Cuba but not a big deal. It had a sort of metallic finish that my friend described as something else.....
Does Alec Bradley still make Spirit of Cuba or has he moved on? I could understand why if he has. I'll take the Supervisor Selections over these.
