Lifestyle TMMAC Cigar Smokers

[Hauler]

So educate me. What's with all the different cigars? I'd assume by now you have a favorite. Do cigar smokers not settle on a staple and just get the same thing over and over again like beer drinkers do?

Although I have about 30 bottles of different bourbons here so maybe it's like that? Interesting to taste the differences? But I do have staples that I turn to often and always keep on hand (Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare)

I’m the same way with beer. If I go to a restaurant or brewery I try different things. I have my go-tos but I hardly drink the same thing each week.

I have cigars that I will get boxes of and smoke regularly, as well as trying new ones. It’s more so I have my main cigar brands that I stick to but I’ll try their new products as well.

Pretty much this. I have staples that I’ve enjoyed for years & tend to keep on hand. Lately I’ve been trying some new things & tend to pickup 5pks of new sticks. Also like to try a few different vitolas of the same cigar as the wrapper to filler ratio will change, or like with the Somm’s, the entire blend is changed slightly so each vitola has a predetermined aspect to it.

Speaking of Somm, I’ve got a couple bundles of a box pressed LE coming & am the first person to preorder a couple boxes of the yet to be released Rioja Lancero 😎

Set up the hut tonight. Should be smoking a lot more now that I can smoke comfortably.

With how little I was able to smoke cigars this year, I picked up pipe smoking in the last couple months. Absolutely filled the void and I've come to really love them. First pipe in the smoking hut.

Sounds like you and Trevor hit it off 😂

There’s been a few instances where the discount offered just wasn’t really touchable anywhere else.

The Somm purchases, I had a few in the humidor already but always deferred to other smokes. The two I had ended up being excellent. Vlad (founder of Somm) is also active on the Simply Stogies site. The LE purchases were both out of curiosity & to support an active member of the community.

Had a couple last night for that fake assed Tyson fight. Only snapped a pic of the Killer Bee. Forgot my phone when I burned the Casdagli Pony

Something good for the fights

Nice selection. I almost grabbed the DTTs but figured I had enough other stuff 🤣

Never could get on the Patina train. I fucking tried but it's not happening. Just like Davidoff. Tried another recently & just like every previous one it was very meh.

Somm on the other hand, that's a new brand that really surprised me. I've met a few others that just can't get on board with Somm but for me, when I'm looking for something flavorful, complex & not too strong, it hits the spot. Haven't tried the new BDX Blanc though, that might be too light for me. If it is, I'll be sending some out as I have a couple 5ers resting from the prerelease.

Makes me sad about Patina, but that leaves more of the LEs for me 🤣. Somm is really good, I personally like the BDX blanc, but I know you don't care much for CTs, and the Blanc is at the lower end of what I like in a CT.

A good buddy made his nation wide release a couple weeks ago. I was given some samples a while back and as much as I hate doing it, I'm smoking my last Stoic Cigars "Justice" pre release. Pairing it with a Blind Russian

Believe it or not, I’ve had a couple Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapped cigars lately that “weren’t bad” 😂

Heading out of town for work tomorrow, so ending the day with a Padron #2.

I don't believe it 😂

That Lampert I posted a few weeks ago & there was another I had with my neighbor but would have to ask him what it was. Both were decent sticks. Was the first time a Connecticut didn’t get bitter & hit me in the jowls
