Cigar Aficionados and Cigartifacts

This thread is for anything and everything Cigars.

Do you regularly enjoy a fine cigar? What is your favorite blend?
Have you tried one or two, but didn't get the hang of it?
What's the right way to light, hold, smoke, and extinguish a stick?

Ok....what else is there?
There is a whole gamut of cigar collectibles available at yard sales, etc, that demand a premium to collectors....

Cigar tokens, boxes, posters, ashtrays, even old photographs of cigar smokers are coveted...
What's in your collection?

Share your cigartifacts, experiences, and questions here....all are welcome.

I will start with a pic of a vintage box, with my latest go-to smoke,
It's a Castiano 1929 Lonsdale it's has a Nicaraguan filler, with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper... made by Rocky Patel exclusively for the local proprietor of our "World Famous Cigar Bar", here in Ft. Myers.



Please, feel free to contribute... enjoy!

Yes, pairing your smoke with a drink makes them both more enjoyable....
If you have a local cigar shop in your town, or nearest city, their proprietor will be happy to turn you on to a mild sample.... try an Oliva,... smooth and tasty.

Quit smoking about five years ago.
Always loved an Arturo Fuentes short story.

Very nice work! !m impressed. The only guitar I made used rubber bands for strings.

I like the nasty cheapest cigars I can find. Just to p1ss off my mormon neighbors.

I also like those acid cigars.

I've never seen a cigar box guitar that wasn't awesome.

Nice variety...only the Joya I've tried in the past....
Selecting cigars is like shopping for wine....thousands of choices, but you don't know if you don't try it.

Umm yeah smoking this now.
Is smoke 3-5 a day. I love cigars! I've got a massive humidor double cabinet. If I'm out detecting your gonna see a cigar burning!

Big Wave look up cigar.com call them and ask for Michael or An account manager. They can hook you up with prices that beat advertised rates.

Tonight I enjoyed a Rocky Patel Java Mint Drew Estate Corona....
Smooth draw, light mocha and toffee flavored. Makes for a nice smoke after a steak dinner. My pairing always seems to be Stella Artois...in a chalice of course.

Hold on, I got another one....

 

[BigWaveDave]

Forgot about this one... I got more packed away, I'll dig them out tomorrow maybe...

 

[BigWaveDave]

I just smoked my first Acid....a Blonde Belicoso..... yummy!
I like that it's only 5 inches, takes about a half hour to enjoy. Looking into a sampler pack...
I did also pick up about 6 or 7 other sticks, mostly Rocky Patels....

 

[Peyton Manning]

smoking acid? only bad can come of it

 

[BigWaveDave]

That's the brand name...they are flavor-infused cigars.
Always knew about them, but Tnet member fmrUSMC 0844 made mention of them, glad he did! Thanks 0844!

I just had an Arturo Fuentes.... a nice stick, paired it with a Grand Marnier on the rocks...not too shabby.
