He isn't supposed to, but like any college in LA enforces rules *eyeroll*. I've puffed away merrily in Tiger Stadium befoe without an issue. The can't police every smoker, so they don't bother really. Oddly, UL-Lafayette managed to win one...but then they won against UL-Monroe....it really...

Having never smoked a Macanudo in my life, I sat down at the shop and dedicated a day to Macanudo a while ago when we got these in. Over the course of 7 hours and two meals, I smoked 4 different ones from the shelf (Cafe, Robust, Maduro, and one other I forgot) and then sat and smoked the 1968...

I'm nudging my boss to get a box or two of each size. We have some nicely rested (over a year) blue labels in other sizes, I've been slowly smoking through them since they aren't selling.

Glad I could offer an opinion on the matter to help :) Us employees really do like it when people want to talk a little...it breaks up the monotony of the day and allows us to expand our own minds some with good conversation.

I just buy mine in bulk from Ronson. I'd pay the extra buck and a half any day for a reliable lighter. I usually buy somewhere in the neighborhood of 50-100 a year simply to give away at herfs as gifts and to friends who need a good lighter.

I believe they add a decent portion of Perique (a tobacco grown and cured in St. James Parish, Louisiana) which adds the strong sweet aromatic quality to the cigars. It does indeed lend a somewhat sweeter pipe-like flavor to the cigar. Not at all a terrible stick, even for a Drew Estate cigar...

Hah! Here's a few I've seen working at a shop: Licking the length to "test the strength" Sniffing (as far as stuffing them up their nose and snorting...does that actually do anything?) Dropping them, or worse, catching them against something and crushing them Roughly squeezing them (people...

With Gustav knocking at my door? I have this beautiful box of Padron 1964 Imperials that I've been longing to open for months.

Absolutely love those as a public smoke. They smell like burning ass (but taste wonderful) and tend to keep people at a distance :)

I would recommend you look for and try some of the following La Flor Dominicana Ligero, Double Ligero, and Cabinet Oscuro lines. In particular, the Ligero 500 and the Cabinet 500 are excellent smokes, and IMO one of the best smokes for the price, usually around 7-8 a stick. Don Pepin Garcia...

This post brought to you by our sponsors: Be-Bop-A-Re-Bop Rhubarb Pie and Be-Bop-A-Re-Bop Frozen Rhubarb Pie Filling. One little thing can revive a guy, and that is a piece of rhubarb pie, Serve it up, nice and hot, maybe things aren't as bad as you thought, Momma's little baby loves rhubarb...

Depends on the mood...I'll range from classic rock to Richard Clayderman collections, Jimmy Buffett playlists, Frank Sinatra albums, etc etc.

I'm sorry to say that your Monte looks fake :) I have one identical to it that was made in the USA.

All of the ones I've seen seal very well, and are made with nice thick wood. They all hold humidity very well...as in the humidipak that came in the box with the 10 cigars kept the 10 cigars fresh and smokeable for about 8 months after we got the box in.

I see no reason why compromise can't be reached. I too, live in an apartment complex, and my neighbors are avid cigarette smokers, however they loathe my cigar smoke for some reason. I hate the piles of butts they leave on the ground outside of their apt on the lawn and sidewalk. So I made a...
