Re: Cigars
I'm no expert. Not even a regular.
But Punch Clubs were what I served at professional meetings and an important reception. Great smokes. Never a complaint.

I once smoked a very expensive Honduran cigar with Larry the Cable Guy. (He bought)

I'm no cigar guy but I lucked into a pretty good night in San Juan, PR.

My colleague, who became a best friend, did a sabbatical year at the Mother Ship in Basel, Switzerland. We camped out at his place for a week in 2009. He scored some amazing Cubans and scotch. Epic evening. Don’t consider myself an aficionado, though.

I will never think of LTCG again without thinking of this.
Arguably the best Roast in the history of Roasts.

My Vices/ famous people interaction was probably doing buttons in Joshua Tree with a group of cool guys including Chino Moreno from Deftones and some of the guys from Papa Roach and Hot Water Music band…shortly after my Law Enforcement career came to an abrupt end.

Re: Cigars
had a grad student in one of my labs from Cuba who gifted everyone cigars a couple times
i never saw what the fuss was about with cuban cigars in particular. they’re ok, but imo not worth the reputation

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: Cigars
I’ve also had Cubans a couple times, and didn’t notice a huge difference - which makes sense, I don’t think there’s anything geologically or climatologically unique about Cuba?
Re: Cigars
the draw of Cubans was the inability to get them due to the embargo right?
wtf is a cigar lounge? sounds like a place a bunch of people Qusdahl hates would get together to figure out to avoid taxes while funneling money to Hunter Dickinson under the guise of helping the under priviledged.

Re: Cigars
I give Fish credit for asking if there are any other "wannabe aficionados".
My father was what I considered to be a novice cigar aficionado. I know, that's pretty much an oxymoron.
Used to smoke in the car when we would go on cross country driving trips. Often with the widows "rolled" UP.
In regards to Cubans, yes there is a difference - that is noticeable in "blind tests" by those who are "aficionados" and some who pretend to be.
On a Cuba side note - My guess is not too many people on here can share a photo of their father with Hemmingway, in Cuba, at the La/El Floridita bar, in 1958.

In this case it was a neighborhood coffee shop with a humidor and purification system.TDub wrote: ↑Sun Apr 23, 2023 9:25 am the draw of Cubans was the inability to get them due to the embargo right?

Re: Cigars
For a long time, it was the technique/skill of the bunchers and the rollers that supposedly made Cuban cigars superior. I've never (knowingly) smoked a Cuban cigar, though, so I have no idea if they are better.

Re: Cigars
The bit about "roasting a made-up character" is both true and untrue. "Larry" is a guy named Dan Whitney who was born and grew up in Nebraska and (after his family moved to Florida) attended a private Christian High School in Palm Beach, where his dad was the principal. He went to UNL, for cripes sake.Overlander wrote: ↑Sat Apr 22, 2023 10:38 pmI will never think of LTCG again without thinking of this.

That said, he thinks the way you'd expect "Larry" to think.

Re: Cigars
imo, Cubans well-deserve their rep. Very smooth, but they'll take the back of your head off before you're halfway thru.
