Cigars

I go for the £25 Montecristo Tubo for special occasions

They smoke very slowly and you have a tube to stick it back in so you don't mess up the pockets on your jacket.
Great for holidays as they last for days of heavy puffing.

Man, those 10 packs of cristo were about £26 at the muther flipping airport. Scandalous!

i just got back from Havana.. have a box of 25 Cohiba Robustos...

Yeah, buy them so we can have a house party...

I'll take one.

She ain't splittin' the box...

I'm her agent on this deal...

better sell them soon then. be a shame for them to dry out and be worthless.
(unless you have a humidor to keep them in)

only bought em yesterday and i think they last 3mths open in this kind of weather...

speak to my agent, he has all the details

that came out really nice

how much do you want for them?
were they purchased from a government store or from the street?

i don't want them as have loads already and i prefer partagas or montechristo but i know somebody who smokes cohiba's
(he will not be interested if they are from a street seller)

Nos mib...

make me an offer...
i bought them from a security guard at a big hotel.. but they have all the govt stickers etc
retail they are priceeeey (400Euros at duty free) but obvs i am not looking for anywhere near that

I've been hoarding and smoking cigars for the last 12 years. It's one of life's great pleasures.

I don't want to burst your bubble, but there is no Partagas - Cohiba. Those are two different marcas.

forms, If you are interested in trying some different sizes and varieties of cigars send me a pm. If anyone else is keen, I'd be quite interested in doing some beers and cigars events.

A good forum for cigar information is www.cigarasylum.com they're good guys there and very knowledgeable and helpful. But UTFS.

If anyone is looking at buying some over the internet, feel free to PM me. I have some reputable vendors with far cheaper prices than the UK.

FYI, La Casa del Habano at 100 Wardour street in Soho still has an area you can smoke indoors in. Although I suspect you will be expected to purchase there as well.

Yeah, buy them so we can have a house party...

we could just have a houseparty and give everyone a cigar

serie D no 4 one of my faves.
i have a Partagas Lusitania in my humidor waiting for the right occasion, fuck knows how much they are to buy over here

Partagas is a very reliable smoke. The PSD4 is one of my favourite robustos although it is a size that I have tended to move away from. The Serie P no 2 is amazing but I more and more find myself smoking the shorts.

I know what you mean about finding an occasion for the Lusitania. I have a few of them aging. I have a couple Montecristo A's and Sancho Panza Sanchos that are even more difficult to find the right occasion to set aside 3 hours to smoke. They will most likely just get fired up on a nice summer evening, but that's at least another year away.

do you have a humidor then, D.Generate?

I have a few. I am currently using a couple of wine coolers with humidifiers for aging long-term. I have a couple of pretty little wooden ones but to be honest they look better than they work.

I'm a big fan of using Igloo coolers. They're cheap and work better than most humidors as long as you use a humidifying agent and try to keep them cool in the summer.

I was posting yesterday after a day of drinking. Hopefully they didn't come across as anything more than just being excited to see some cigar talk. I didn't read the whole thread and was mainly replying to the OP.

I would love to see some social get togethers to smoke cigars.

dude its fine, its nice that you get excited about cigars.

Can anyone tell me if keeping Cigars in the fridge would help increase the time that they stay fresh?
And if not, what's the next best thing to a humidor?

And I am well up for a forum Cigar smoking extravaganza!
