Oh no, I meant to the Break Room Nate! I didn't know that this thread existed . I get most of mine online through Cigars International.

Stay away from the smoke, then. Perfect excuse to skip the grilling and just eat the barbecue

Oh I can’t do that, just like the bonfires, cooking on the grill is my pride as sitting back and watching the fire is my peace, if the smoke comes at me I just turn and don’t breath till the smoke shifts again..

Southern draw - I have tried a few of their cigars and they are OK but nothing I would buy again - Rose of Sharon is, I recall, the most interesting

It's been a couple of weeks. My last one was an Upmann.

Just a Partagas Black Label Pronto Sun Grown Cigarillo for me today. These great little smokes come conveniently packed in tins of six, and are a nice 30-40 minute smoke when you don't have time for a full-size cigar.

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1386 on:** June 16, 2020, 08:14:14 AM

I'm going to pick some up. That's perfect for a nice smoke!

I keep forgetting to take pics, but Rocky Patel Edge today. Still one of my all-time favorites, though this one seemed to have difficulty staying lit. Possible operator inattentiveness...

nate j · **Reply #1389 on:** June 24, 2020, 06:45:58 AM

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Sunday...

nate j · **Reply #1390 on:** June 24, 2020, 06:46:40 AM

As it turns out, happiness does come in boxes...

Had a Don Thomas yesterday and a Partagas P2 during the weekend.
The P2 are among my current favourites.

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1392 on:** June 24, 2020, 02:03:44 PM

Looking great!! I had an H. Upmann Cameroon. Smoooth...

Today's selection:

Rocky makes a good cigar.

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1395 on:** June 27, 2020, 02:51:39 PM

I agree. I had a Perdomo Champagne last evening that was very nice.

dks · **Reply #1396 on:** October 08, 2020, 07:05:15 PM

Had a RP Edge Candela yesterday but it missed the point. No sweetness was present, the whole reason of getting Candelas.

I got a few different edge to try, but the Eddge line, in general, has not been that good in years. The original release was so tasty......

dks · **Reply #1397 on:** October 08, 2020, 07:17:28 PM

I smoked a San Lotano oval, boring, I just don't find any point in it and it is not cheap.

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1398 on:** October 09, 2020, 12:01:09 AM

Had a sweet Ghurka medium today. Nothing like a good cigar

nate j · **Reply #1399 on:** October 09, 2020, 05:23:30 AM

Busy day for me today, so a couple of Romeo y Julieta minis were all I had time for. These cigarillos are about the best I have found for an "under ten-minute" smoke.

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1400 on:** October 09, 2020, 02:48:40 PM

They're great Nate. I've had them and really enjoy them when I've got a lot going on.

dks · **Reply #1401 on:** October 12, 2020, 11:53:25 AM

Rocky Patel B52 - definitely better than the current edge line, good burn, straight tobacco flavour

dks · **Reply #1402 on:** October 12, 2020, 11:59:54 AM

Villa Zamorano Expresso.

a very small but tightly packed and long lasting (I think I got nearly an hour) cigar.

Good flavour, for the price

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1403 on:** October 12, 2020, 02:17:18 PM

Love the Patels. I'll have to try the Villa.

dks · **Reply #1404 on:** October 13, 2020, 09:05:05 AM

Back to the good old Partagas P-2.

My current favourites, smooth, chocolatey, sweet, nice aroma and taste, good burn

dks · **Reply #1405 on:** November 04, 2020, 11:21:55 AM

a couple during the weekend

Arturo Fuente Brevas Royal Maduro cheap and nasty. there are way better options

Don Luis Secretos Del Maestro BHK 52 OK, but not worth buying again

nate j · **Reply #1406 on:** February 21, 2021, 10:48:25 PM

After trying various options, this is what I generally have in my car.

From left to right:

Romeo Y Julieta Minis (Natural) - about a ten minute smoke
Victor Sinclair 55 Series Cigarillos (Maduro) - about a twenty minute smoke
Punch Bolos - about a thirty to forty minute smoke

So, I have several options depending on how long I'll be driving. If I know I'm going to be in the car for an hour or two, I'll try to grab a full-size cigar, but I don't regularly keep them in the car.

Just had a very nice Upmann... time to get some more

Barry Rowland · **Reply #1408 on:** March 01, 2021, 01:34:49 AM

My creative cutter...it works as well as any cutter I've used.

Good work, Barry!

I have always cut my cigars with a knife; the idea of carrying around a dedicated cigar cutter that serves no other purpose has never been appealing to me. I've used SAKs, Stockmen, Buck 110s...as long as the blade is quite sharp and the user has a basic level of skill and knowledge of how to properly cut a cigar with a knife, I would agree that the cut should be at least the equal of what could be achieved with a dedicated cutter, if not superior.
