I smoke both my pipes and cigars on my front porch and back deck. I also use one of those electrical smoke eaters if those around don't like the smell. However, it is few and far between. I also buy the really cheap cigars and throw them in my chimnea when I have that burning. It really smells good. Now I have all of my neighbors doing that too.

I actually prefer smoking outside with friends and a good drink. Makes it more interesting but hard to find in NY.

Yeah I agree, I prefer outside too. If you're moving to the San Diego area it shouldn't be much of a problem finding good weather a lot of the time. It can get pretty cold up here in N. CA though.

It's gonna be somewhere in the Los Angeles area but once I'm there it'll likely mean that San Diego will be on my teaching schedule (probably late summer/fall) so we should meet up if I get a gig there. ;)

This is why I want to get a house. I want to build a "external man cave" for those rainy days but on the nice summer days, I want to be able to sit by the fire, look at the stars and when done, toss it into there. Sounds like an awesome way to enjoy, Andrew.

I'm up in Northern CA, but I'd love to meet up with you sometime once you're here and settled :thumbsup: :cigar:

TD: Thanks for the cigars. I smoked one right when I got it and saved the rest for a later date. :)

Andrew: I just got the package! Awesome! Thank you so much for the pipe, tapper and cork (stopper?). I sniffed the tobacco. I'm probably gonna try tonight after dinner. I wonder how much this will remind me of my grandfather who always had a pipe in his mouth as long as I can remember.

Andrew, Jr. 03-11-2010 08:04 PM

Ahh Linus, :praying:

I am so glad you got the package. The tobacco is my all time favorite. I thought I would share a bag with you since you are just learning the ropes of it. Yes, the cork goes in the center of your ashtray. And the silver thingy is the taper.

Enjoy! :pipe:

Love,
Andrew

I just smoked a really good cigar (thank you Linus). It was the one that had the Gh name to it. I can barely remember the name and how to even pronounce it. It was good. I smoked it while drinking a cup of coffee this morning. The cigar was stronger than I usually smoke, but it was good. I really enjoyed it. I will be buying those in the future. Most definitely.

Thanks Linus! :cheer:

Love,
Andrew

Linus 03-12-2010 12:47 PM

Ghurka? Had a 2nd light blue band on it?

Andrew, Jr. 03-12-2010 12:55 PM


Yep - that was it! It was good. Thank you brother! Where did you find that? Famous Smoke Shop? I love that store. I could spend thousands $$$ there.

Linus 03-12-2010 01:06 PM

Actually, Cigars International: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/p...sp?item=CS-GHD :)

Wryly 03-12-2010 01:30 PM

I've never had them but want to try . . . . . . if only because of this FB page.

Heh.. Gurkhas are actually a nice cigar and they some doozies (check out their Black Dragon ones).

Andrew, Jr. 03-12-2010 03:17 PM


Are the Black Dragons stronger? Like in one puff I will be on the floor, and on antibiotics for a month or two?

Rockinonahigh 03-12-2010 03:30 PM

wondering wich to get....
 
Several months ago I quit the ciggy habit cold thurkey,but sometimes I want a smoke so bad I could spit.SO I been thinking about mayby cigars may work better than ciggys but I have no idea wich to get.I tryed cigars before but what I bought was awfull to say the least..I figured a cigar would last longer than a ciggy.Since I quit I have put on 18 pounds and I hate it,corse its been winter and i'v not been as active as I had been.I dont like anything strong but not wish washy either...any ideas guys?

Andrew, Jr. 03-12-2010 03:56 PM

You are like me then. I like a mild to medium cigar. The best advice I can give to you is to go to Famous Smoke Shop.com and look online at what they have. Then go to a cigar shop close to home. See and compare what the guys in the store say vs. what you have seen online.

I really enjoy Baccaratt, Macanudo, Flor de Oliva, Nub, EO, Siglo, Oliva, Primo del Ray just thinking off the top of my head. I think you will really enjoy these too. Some others are Creme de Jamaica, Aston's (any), Helix, Upmann, Avo Tubos #9, Leon Jimenes, and Arturo Fuente. Just smoke a couple at a time, see what you enjoy.

Keep us posted on what you select, and how it tastes. :cigar:

Thanks for the heads up on cigars.Since I quit the ciggys,wich was cause they got way over priced and begain to taste awful.The weight gain and the frayed nerves ...sometimes I just need a long relaxing drag off something to chill cause I get the hebejebies fidgits with lead me to the fridge.So im hopeing to find a middle ground with that.At least the weather is spring like and near 70 so I now can go back to working out,wich will help.

Andrew, Jr. 03-13-2010 02:44 PM


Rockinonahigh,

I like to smoke a cigar while listening to a baseball game on the radio. I am usually outside with the furkids, and one of which will be glued on my lap.

I also like to take a nice hike, and light one up, and just sit down next to a brook or stream and watch the water flow. It is sooo relaxing. I find it takes the edge off.

Peace brother,
Andrew

Linus 03-23-2010 09:39 AM

Ok. I blame Andrew for this.

I ended up getting a small Churchwarden pipe (Savielli?), some CAO Vanilli tobacco and some pipe cleaners (both for the corn cob pipe and for the Churchwarden) as well as a simple bag for tobacco.

Jackhammer: thanks for the link on the tobaccos. I'll have to investigate more into what kinds I like (I know I have a sweet tooth and the Cavendish sound like they are up my alley).

Anyone (who smokes a pipe) use http://www.tobaccoreviews.com/index.cfm to find new tobaccos to try based on reviews?
