19QOS19 Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I mostly only smoke the tabs but had a cigar my mate brought back from Portugal at a wedding last year, it was absolutely brilliant. The done thing I was told was not inhale but just let it linger and definitely free to stub it and go back to it. Don’t know anything about cigars though so will stick to cigarettes and being no help here, sorry. Yeah it's the flavour in your mouth. I have accidently had some go into the lung and by f**k it wasn't pleasant. Strangely enough it only puts me off even more ever wanting to try cigs. Got 50 hamlets one year for Xmas, they were smoked by the night of Boxing Day, never wanted another after that I don't blame you. They're bogging. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quick Google search shows that not so very long ago, it wasn't uncommon to see footballers in cigarette ads. Stanley Matthews and Dixie Dean among others. Here's Jimmy Greaves enjoying a wee toot.

Shotgun Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 ...and I also just learned that Mark Jones, one of the Busby Babes who died in the Munich disaster was a renowned pipe smoker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 That cardigan, a nylon couch and the pipe are an accident waiting to happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiGi Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I've got a box of Coronas (aye I know). Not had one yet because I've not a clue how to do one justice. One of my pals got a large box of cigars for his 16th from his mad uncle and we had a couple of them between joints when we were teenagers but I can't remember them doing much other than me feeling like a gangster. Might have one with a whisky and see how I get on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unconscious Objector Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Great to have one chilling in the back garden in the sun with a short or beer and some music on - I don’t smoke much over the winter months 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are countless options out there and I believe you should start with milder cigars and then build up your experience. This way you will be able to see exactly what you enjoy and which are your aroma preferences. In terms of recommendations, I would suggest reading this article: https://www.swisscubancigars.com/guides/best-cigars-to-smoke/. It includes a selection of some of the best cigars on the market. I think it is a good starting point in choosing the perfect cigar for your taste. Hope my input will be useful! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deanburn Dave Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I remember in the early 80's at the Disco occasionally treating myself to a plum cigar with my southern comfort. With my pastel blue suit and that duo I was fighting off the lassies with a shitty stick .......if only !! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lounging outside with a pipe and a drink doesn’t sound too shabby. The trouble with a pipe is you smoke more matches than tobacco. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gannonball Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I can remember people going on about a cigar with whisky and I thought it would be a stupid idea as the cigar would just overpower the whisky but now I do love the odd cigar with a whisky. Have no idea about which ones are good and often just have cigarillos as often its an impluse decision so get them from the local tiny corner shop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the taste of food still in my mouth I was skeptical but have to admit it's definitely true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
