I do it constantly! It adds a lot to the experience for me. I think it’s the third anchor of the tasting/flavor trifecta - draw, retrohale and burn line.

I picked up 8 of these from a 2020 SEP box, two of them were superb with lots of flavor and Cuban twang, the other two were right around 5/10, 6/10. I’m down to 4 so I would like to maybe wait another year before I smoke one. I am still on the fence if I should grab a full box and let em age while I finish off these last 4 in the coming years or not. I’m tempted just because it’s always fun to stock up on CC lol, but I kinda have a hit list for cigars and as of right now they aren’t on there. With the recent price hikes it’s made it very hard to not have a certain focus on certain cigars/brands.

Torched one up last night, blew me away!

Happy Birthday!

For me I'd say rum. Style doesn't really matter, as long as it's aged and not sweetened. Caveat: like with peat in whiskey, I found that after recoiling from it at first, high-ester Jamaican-style rums have started growing on me, but they can overpower a milder cigar for sure. A cocktail I find never fails to pair well, but you'll want an assertive full-bodied cigar to stand up to it, is a Planter's Punch. Made with Plantation OFTD to keep the ABV nice and high. Perfect for summer. For non-alcoholic: coffee and those brewed herbal colas.

I like Padron. But found this one to be a step above. Not quite as good as The Hammer though

Welcome to FOH!

I've been told the exact same things by my colleagues in Virginia, and it's crazy because here in Western-Europe it's easily found both online and at decent liquor stores. That would also be my go-to bourbon. There's better ones for sure, but for the price you can't beat the value of Buffalo Trace imo. I also like Eagle Rare but that's less common in liquor stores here (still easily obtained online though). Right now I'm sipping on Baby Jane, which I would say is decent but took some effort to find for a decent price .

I want to try it, but I just can't get myself to pay €30 (that's the cheapest one, I believe) for a non-alcoholic version of a sparkling wine which is gonna go down like lemonade (not in terms of flavor, but you know, in terms of ease of dinking). That's the sort of money I'll spend on an actual champagne a couple times per year. Maybe it's reasonable that the cost is equivalent to actual champagne due to e.g. the time or labor involved, but I have a mental aversion to the value-proposition here. My finger has hovered over the "add to basket"-button, but I can't get past that mental block.

Hello everyone, I'm Christophe, been smoking cigars occasionally for almost a decade, but really got serious about it again a few months ago after stumbling onto the Lounge Lizards podcast. I live in a small town in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, close to the Dutch and German border. Got two young daughters and when they're not keeping me busy I like working out, yoga, and of course lighting up with a nice spirit or glass of bubbles on the side. My favorite stick used to be the Plasencia Alma Del Campo, but I found my pallet has changed a bit since getting more serious about the hobby in the last few months. I had a Partagas D no.4 a few weeks ago, and my mind was blown. Expanding my collection more in that direction now. Nice to meet you all, looking forward to getting to know you better and great discussions and cigars!

Happy birthday!
