No, just another thread where the civilized, refined, and experienced gentlemen who enjoy thin RGs berate the uncivilized, billy goats who enjoy thicker cigars. Just my calm, objective

My first sticks bought at B&M were acids. Gave away the second ones I bought once I realized how much more I like other sticks and how much I disliked them.

Glad you stepped up a bit to some NC goodness

I bought 4 Kuda Kuda's on my first B&M trip earlier this month. I smoked one at a friend's house and it was ok. I got a few so I could have some when I went to his house. But I realized the same thing, I like other non-flavored cigars better. Haven't smoked one since and have one left that will probably be his the next time I go over.

As for big rings, I picked up a CAO Flathead V770 Big Block Cigar the other day since my friend bought one. We haven't smoked it yet but decided to wait until we're cooking something in the backyard that will take a while so we have time to sit and try it out.

Just toss some ribs or a brisket in the smoker. Have plenty of time them. Good eats after as well!

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke brother. And welcome to the asylum.

Thanks for the welcome. Not saying I won't smoke an acid ever again but I'm definitely leaning toward the non-flavored cigars. Having a CAO Italia Novella from a sampler I bought a couple weeks ago at the moment and it is pretty nice!

To get back on topic I gave a prof of mine who is an known cigar smoker a Gran Momba as a half way gag gift and he loved it.

He hasn't smoked it yet but he was pretty excited when I gave it to him.

Tell him to remove the cello before lighting.

Words of wisdom! I'll remember that myself. LOL

He looks like an Actor, can't remember the Movies that he's been in. He's one of those "Oh that guy" Actors, where most don't know their names. Craaaaap.

Thanks. Post about what? What did I miss? I'm a few sheets to the wind so don't mind me!

I got ya ya drunkard

I said that Acids bring a lot of guys into the Cigar world, and that it's dumb to mock them.
Different strokes for different folks. Smoke what ya like, like what ya smoke. Well, that used to be the motto around here.
