I am going to have to write those down for the next time someone asks me to put out my cigar. Although I think my favorite from the list will confuse just enough to work every time.
9. (The Lie Direct:) "I'm not smoking."
So not being from Australia is this even legal? We have little politicans all the time here in the states that pass the most useless legislation and then when it is finally tested in court against someone it is struck down. Do you think that this will be the case for this particular mandate?
I was having alot of issues with the site coming back with errors when I checked barcodes. It finally worked today. If you PM the number to me I can attempt to check you. I can't quite make out the barcode.
I typically smoke outside on my porch, but I do still have to brush my teeth, shower and change clothes afterwards. That was all for my wife's benefit, but now that I have a newborn, the routine must be followed if I want to be around my daughter.
I recently had a Partagas Aristocrat that was so tightly rolled that it was nearly impossible to get any draw on it. I have used a cigar awl with some luck in these cases, but this cigar continued to close up after a few more draws. Eventually I just gave up. It was from an 08 box, but I am going to see if I can age it a few more years and get the humidity down and see if that works. If that doesn't help, then I am no idea what to do at that point.
I also usually smoke alone since my current friends do not smoke cigars. I used to smoke with my father out by the pool every couple of weeks, but he now lives in Nicaragua so the distance makes it difficult.
I found a vodka a few years ago called Jean Marc XO that doesn't overpower the cigar and is smooth enough to drink straight while enjoying a great cigar.
Hello Everyone,
I recently found this site a few weeks and have really enjoyed the commentary and wanted to say hello to everyone. Usually my NC of choice is a Partagas #4, but since I have begun traveling to Manila for work I have been able to sample the delights of good CC's. I have to say it is good to find a place to discuss cigars and get opinions on new ones to try. Thanks in advance everyone.
