I rarely smoke cigars in the winter so I have to get my fill in the summer.

Ha! Just the opposite here. The winter, fall and spring work well, but too darn hot to sit outside in the summer.

I'd much rather smoke in 110 degree heat than 3 feet of snow and -20 degree cold!!

What is that?

I have seen it several times on vacation, but never in Dallas.

Winter in Dallas, put on my favorite sweatshirt and enjoy the 52 degree day.

Golfing and smoking cigars on a Tuesday? Must be good to be kumazam! Any chance you're detouring through Seattle for an offline?

Great cigar. If you can let them age they will get even better.

Q3 is in the books ! Thank god. A cigar will be smoked today and probably tomorrow.

that was a Saturday B, i think Labor Day weekend... and ive given up smoking on the course if im trying to play well, ultimately i dont start shooting until im done with the stogie... the trip to Vancouver was direct flight made by my company so no flexibility... its my top priority to make it up there B, maybe even for relocating after the MBA

on the ship back to LA from Vancouver with 2 oz of Louis XIII each time :

Romeo Y Julieta Short Churchill
Cohiba Siglo II
Montecristo #2

On the golf course yesterday with a bloody Mary.

Oliva V churchill. Love this cigar.

On the golf course as well, Hoya de Monterry Limitada Edition 2003.

Had one of my twice-yearly cigars last night: Monte Cristo #2, with a couple of glasses of 1990 Fonseca LBV Port.

The cigar was way better than the Port, and as much as I enjoyed it at the time, I can still taste now, even after a couple of espressos. I'm not so keen on that aspect of cigar smoking.

The CC Chairman cigar.

A long smoke with a #60 ring size.

Seaquam,

I agree on the next day still being able to taste the cigar. It's the one thing that keeps me from smoking cigars more often.

A beautiful night in Dallas last night.

After dinner, we retired to the patio for a double espresso and a 125 Aniversario Romeo y Julieta.

Mmmmm... Very nice, indeed.

It's been too long.

Well, what only about 5 months until you enjoy your patio? (empty suit razz)

About that, yes.

Sounds nice. We received a couple of inches of snow last night in the valley and 12-15 inches of new powder in the mountains. Today, not a cloud in the sky. The slopes are calling.

I am so jealous. I have a huge craving right now. There is absolutely nowhere we can go to enjoy a cigar anymore. I might have to go for a walk in the -10 temp tonight. Not sure if I can handle the cigar with gloves on however.

A brilliant day in Dallas. It is 62, not a cloud in the sky and NO wind.

Now how can a grown man pass up a day like this and not enjoy a Romeo y Julieta Aniversario 125 with a fine book?

There are days when I really want to fly down there just to give you an effin' noogie.

Today at the range. La Gloria Cubana Maduro #6. Tasty. Oh, and it was 34 degrees. Balmy.

PH

Blew down a Bolivar today. Sorry but I can't remember which one because I've cellared it for a while and never made a note of it. However it smoke dang well all the way below the ring over about 2 hours while I sat on the patio of the brew house on a beautiful day in North Texas for about 5 hours this afternoon for lunch.

It's been awhile since I've enjoyed a good cigar! I still have a wax sealed Gurhka made from pre-embargo cuban leaf, dipped in Louis XIII Cognac yet to enjoy.

Some of my favorites are AF lines- VSG, ,Don Carlos, Short stories, and when in a mellow mood/after dinner a good Ashton double magnum.

Mpls guy: My friend owns cigar shops in Maple Grove, Minnetonka, and Burnsville- Tobacco Grove and "Burn". A must stop in!

Just picked out a Romeo ye Julieta Churchill for the front 9 tomorrow.

I may even take one for the back 9 also.

Forget Florida and Arizona, I'm going to retire to Texas someday. You texans enjoy life way too much.

If you look at our housing values (only down 3.3%) most of Arizona and Florida also wish they were here currently.

On a side note, I forgot my sunscreen yesterday and have added a touch of color today.

Come on down. Half the freaking nation has moved here anyway over the past 20 years.

LOL all I see out my front window is dirty snow and mud. The winter "thaw" is such an ugly time of the year. Right now its +8c a few days and -18c the next few.

Thats amazing on the real estate front. But hows the value of your wine portfolio doing?

LOL. I know the feeling...we haven't turned anyone away in a hundred years! There is a church group up here right now trying to organize sponsorship for your Guatanamo detainees!! No joke!

Please know, I wish the group the greatest of success!

W+A and WIML; I will report that I am the cause of your success. I left my home in Preston Trials (North Dallas)in 1990 after successfully selling it for $40K less than I paid in 1986. I thought I had cut a fat hog by just selling it.

After my departure the real estate market has been going strong. That house is now worth more than triple what I sold it for!

See what can happen if an area gets rid of just one bad egg! It had to have been me!

I'm surprised it is only worth three times. A great area for sure, and even better since they kicked the Nelson out to the Four Season's.

A Padron 1926 80th Anniversary to finish a late breakfast on a chilly ( 60's) Tampa morning. I did not think these were worth the premium when I tried my first one but 6 months in the humidor has made this a glorious smoke.

I agree completely. I had one last summer and thought it was fabulous. Still not sure its worth the $ however.

No one's had a good cigar since Feb ??

Moving day at the Masters. Haven't had a morning smoke in a while. One of my favorites:

Fuente Don Carlos Presidente.

Kind of lost track of this thread. I've had a few since February. Just can't recall all of them.

Good bump.
It is getting to be the season (FINALLY), even here in the North.

I have gone 5-6 months without a cigar, and I look forward to enjoying one soon.

I'm headed to the beach in two weeks and there is a nice cigar shop a few miles down the road. I'm already looking forward to finishing off the day on the porch after a good meal with a nice stogie and a cocktail.

What do you enjoy drinking with your cigar?

I'm not picky. A cool 20 yr. Tawny would be my preference, but a juicy Cali red or even vodka tonic will do.

Snipes, I have never enjoyed wine with a cigar. (Port excluded)
