Linus,

It is a very small world. They are not doing tours any longer. However, they have a museum on the 2nd floor of their office in Tampa.

In the Dom. Republic - that is pretty much a no no for tours. And the cigars I bought, I got A. Fuente's. I think I may have gotten 2nd's, but they were still good. I am not complaining. From my notes, the cigars were all thumbs up. According to what I wrote down, there was a huge political debate going on over the taxes & laws between the US and Dom. Republic, and the shipping issues. I am going to find their website, and see if it is any different now.

I love talking stoagies. For me, it is like

! This is cool. What cigars do you enjoy smoking?

I would love to go to Cuba one day. I want to go to a cigar factory, and see how they produce the cigars in mass quantity from start to finish. And then to be able to buy them, smoke 'em, and bring a few boxes home.

Andrew -
I've known Linus for 4 or 5 years, I think. Waaay back when hy first came out. We met on a different site, PMed back and forth and then met up - been buds ever since. When hy lived in Toronto we'd try to get together and do dinner, PRIDE events, etc. Then hy had to go and get a life and all! the nerve!

I'd love to go to Cuba too - someday.

I'll keep a lookout!

Andrew - I was reading an article online (I forget where) and it was about a place that has a school, shop and lounge all in one! You can get cigars chea because you're buying that aren't perfect 'cause they're what the students made. I'll hunt around and see if I can find it.

Wryly,

I am looking forward to that info. As for Linus, he is a good soul. I just think the world of him. So now, we can say we're the 3 cigar smokin' mustakeers!

And we will have to plan a trip to Cuba one day. WooHoo!

Has anyone smoked anything new? Anything good lately? What about pipe tobacco?

I hope you all are doing well, and life is being kind to you.

Happy Smokes!

Andrew

I have noticed that I have to constantly relight my tobacco in my pipe.

I can't just light it once (like a cigar). It constantly goes out on me. Is this the norm.? I am using pipe tobacco and a Grabow (sp?) pipe. It is realitively new (maybe a year old).

Any hints or suggestions? I appreciate all advice on this. I am at this point >>>

and

Happy Smokes,
Andrew

Thanks Jack!

I am trying out a new tobacco called Holiday Blend. It is more cherry than anything else. What do you smoke? And what is your favorite pipe?

When I smoke either my pipe or a cigar, I like a good drink or a cup of coffee. It just taste sooo much better that way.

Andrew, Jr. · 12-21-2009, 01:27 PM

I have a corn cob, and a Duke by Dr. Grabow. My Grandfather smoked a pipe, and gave me my first corn cob pipe that I still have. I smoke it every once and a while. It is more sentimental than anything else to me.

I use a sweet oil and clean up the pipes once a year. I just dump the ashes out. I never thought about repacking them. I don't have that tool. Maybe Santa will surprise me this year. I also don't use filters on my pipes. Wayyy to much work for me. I just smoke.

I don't spend a lot on my pipes, all 13 or 15 I own are low brand old school stand by's. Where the draw hole is drilled in the bowl is what Im looking for.
You want it as low to the bottom as possible.

My wife took me down to the Tobacco shop this weekend and I gathered up my selection of 2oz baggies of smoke. I was disappointed to learn my Dunhill Early Morning Pipe Tobacco was discontinued.

I did grab
Midnight
Alaborg
Blueberry Muffin

Im not one for wild flavors but the Blueberry Muffin is off the hook.

I agree a cup of French Roast makes it all taste a little better

Hrmm.. Jack, when you're back let me know if you want some of the Dunhill Early Morning or Nightcap. I managed to get a couple of tins of this. I did try to find some Chinese made pipes when I was in Beijing but couldn't find a store (if I wanted Chinese cigarettes that was no problem but cigars and/or pipes were hard to find).
