Hiya Linus! Funny meeting you here.

I shop online at Famous Smoke Shop (1-800-672-5544) for some stoagies. I also go to a cigar shop in Delaware because of the tax issues Maryland has or is having now.

Cigars I enjoy smoking are mild to medium strength. Some of my favorites are Avo, Baccarat, Creme de Jamaca, Davidoff, Fuente, Georges Reserve, Griffins, H. Uppmann, Henry Clay, Macanudo, Makers Mark, Nub, Olor, Pardon, R. Gonzalez, Romeo & Juliette, Tatiana, and VSG.

Tins I smoke are A.Fuente Cubanitos, Avo Puritos, CAO (any), Macanudo Ascots, and Baccarat Connies every now and then. I am not a huge fan of the Connies.

The one thing that I do smoke is the Davidoff cigarettes with a filter (the plastic ones you can buy 100 filters for $4. I eventually want to buy a cigarette case to go with these.

I do have a leather cigar case from Rosie for my 40th birthday. I also got a beautiful humidor that holds a couple hundred cigars. Rosie had a brass name plate engraved with my name on it for me.

As for cutters, I have a couple. I love the one called Xikar. I also have sissors, and a Havana punch cutter. For me, I use the Xikar the most.

Lighters...I use basically matches, bics, or Zippos. This past summer, Rosie purchased a beautiful gold type of lighter from Greece for me at a local school arts and crafts show. It was only $4. I looked it up online and about fell over. It was listed at $30. I couldn't believe it. I love that lighter because it has a nice weight to it. Now, I would like to get a table top lighter/burner. Linus when you were with me at Cross Street Tobacco Store the silver one is the one I am talking about. It was $40 by Alec Bradley - sweet. Now that is the bomb of all lighters if you ask me.

I can just talk stoagies all day long. It is a hobby for me as well.

I have to agree about Xikar. I have a cutter and a punch by them (I use the punch most often). I also use, when at home, a Blazer lighter (as some of the younger FTMs in my support group called it, my "crack" lighter).

I have a huge list of cigars I like and only a few I don't like. I run my own cigar blog (http://www.cigarnewbie.com). I know that not everyone likes cigars and such but I have found that a good cigar, a nice drink (cold water and/or whiskey/scotch/bourbon) and a beautiful woman (not necessarily in that order) is a great way to wind down the day.

Linus,

I agree with you. Nothing beats a good cigar, a good whiskey or some other kind of drink, and a beautiful woman. Heaven pure and simple.

Hrm.. so has anyone ordered from Tex Cigars? They are offering to sponsor my cigar blog and I know of them but have never ordered from them. They want to send me cigars to review and mention them. Works for me.

I'll take a good cigar or vanilla cigarillo, a Mimosa and a hot butch! ..lol See? My idea of heaven isn't too far from y'all's!
