You guys are slipping up. It took three posts for someone to mention the Palio. Please be more attentive in the future or we'll have to report you to the Palio authorities. ;)

:tpd: That was one of my observations too with the 3 Taboo LR's I've smoked so far. Lots of billowing smoke. OK Rob, that'll cost you another stick. :ss

Welcome home! I'm glad you're home safe and sound.

I just finished my first LR Havana, and I was rather impressed. My first thoughts were that this is very Fuente-ish. Nutty, spicy, peppery, woody. Very firm construction, good draw, lovely aroma. I'm new at this, but the cigar struck me as well rooted in the Habana tradition, which due to...

Back in about 1984 when I went on a formal date with Tracy Sackett. Blue backless dress, high heels, blonde hair down over one shoulder. WOW....:dr

Out of curiosity, does anyone know who makes the cigars for Nat Sherman?

I smoked a Nat Sherman University 6" x 50 (nattie, not maduro) on Saturday. What a fantastic cigar. The taste lingered on my pallete for quite a long time after the cigar was finished. It was a "weighty" cigar, seemed to be very full of tobacco. The draw was slightly firm, but not too much...

I just finished my first Sancho Panza Double Maduro, in the corona size. I really enjoyed the first half of the cigar. But after it dropped the first ash it became rather bitter. I tried to purge it, but that didn't seem to help a great deal. I smoked it down to about 1/3 left and tossed it...

All this chatter about Opus has piqued my curiosity. I've got to see if I can find one locally to try. Never had one before.

Well, it does come with a plastic squirt bottle. :tu

For future reference. :D

I was just sitting on the back porch smoking a Nat Sherman Metropolitan I got from Bam Bam in a trade. (BTW, they're a great cigar. I just grabbed the rest that he was selling. You lose. ;) ) Anyhow, while I was sitting there a flight of bluebirds few into the yard, and have been there now...

I'm wishing I had another one of these right now. Would be a nice morning cigar.

I have been smoking a pipe for about 10 years, and more recently cigars. There is a study, albeit from the 1960's, that shows that pipe smokers live LONGER than non-smokers. The supposition is that this is due to pipe smoking being a stress reliever. As do many of us I think cigar smoking is...

I just smoked a Taboo Dominican Maduro in the corona size, and I agree with Cigardood 100%. This was a mild, flavorful cigar with coffee and chocolate flavors. The construction was excellent, and the draw on mine was right on the money. I would have said sweet coffee with chocolate...
