looks like we must have some meet up soon, to do the smokes....

 

too bad you guys not available this week, cos i was on leave the whole week.

 

next week onwards will be busy like hell again...following the market.

hard to meet up with you huh??

[Throttle]

I have some good stuff (limited edition cigars) as I shared a few boxes the last round.

 

available:- 5 RYJ Hermosos No 2. $40 each and 3 Trinidad Robusto extra at $45 each.

[Intruder]

How about we can have a list of local cigar boutiques? It will be greatly beneficial for a novice like me... At least can really pop in and have a look while do shopping.

 

 

Jia lak liao....if kena addicted, then monthly pocket will burn even faster and more holes..... But i can say, it is kind of enjoy to savour the aroma of them. I have been searching for the greater taste other than from normal ciggy. Sometime for me to take a puff n enjoy it slowly can be a plain small luxury. (for those non smokers, pls dun follow suit. I m trying to quit. NOt becos of the money, but for health sake.)

After numbergames, you and me all one each. He should have left 1 (if he did not let go to other ppl). Ring him and you will know....

 

I was going through this thread from pg 1 to abt pg 12, trying to complie all the experiences talks and informations from throttles and other cigarmen,quite 'chuan' leh...but very interesting. From cigarshops like 7-11 to throttle's friend when one forumer saying he look like gay to he went to Cuba and enriching their economy to his photo kena edited in mag! Woah! Cool.... i am going to carryon later part..... i am trying to compile into .doc then edit then read on all the goodies..... Now is the 'harvesting of the tobacco leaves, later is the fermenting and hand roll and package of the cigar..' long way to go, but hope i can be useful.

[Throttle]

cigars are fun right? glad to know that some folks here agree!

 

heh heh

 

tonight i did an aged 1998 ramon allones Gigantes and a diplomatic No. 2.

 

all that and i havent recover from my cough and sore throat......

 

tomorrow i will take a break until midweek. hopefully i can organise a mini meetup at pitstop with you guys..

 

later alligators

Very chim to learn the fine art....Yes, many etiques to understand and do. Do it wrongly or not appropriate ppl will call you poser... Just like driving a Porsche, ppl dun really go and use it to 'cha radio' with unwinded window in front to M.Sultan. Ppl drive it steadily then park at the lot then walk out and got to their destination.

 

Now i m looking for a proper cutter, humidor maybe i go slowly first. BTW, a normal cheap cutter that can cut properly is abt how much? I dun need those with gold trim or with name engraved one, just a proper one. Use penknife and cut a bit funny leh...

i know what you mean man... sometimes i feel like

smoking the cigars outside but feel a bit self conscience

that people would stare and think that i'm trying to show off

or something....but you are right lah using penknife like not pro right...

i'm also looking to buy a cutter but till now keep putting it off...

should get one soon....

hmm, if nobody get from him, i might get the last one from him...

need to PM him again, lost his sms...

[Throttle]

if you dont mind, can always start with cheaper plastic handle twin bladed cutters.

 

most are under $30.....

 

as long as the blade is sharp, thats most important.

 

there is a brand called Palio which has plastic handles but uses top class surgical steel blades invented by doctors who smoke cigars. about $80....

 

cheers

hey 'sup every1. been browsing thru this thread. lotsa new stuff i learnt from throttle. heh. well i've tried a cigar only once before. bought a romeo something something. lol cant remember. but it was in a silver metal casing. $15 from oaks at taka,had the assistant cut it for me cos i knew nuts bout cutting. then i spent some time researching on cigars. cutting, lighting etc. they mentioned something bout using butane(i think) lighters. if dont haf they suggested matchsticks. care to explain throttle? i know cigar is not meant to be inhaled but yeah i tried it out of curiosity and boy was i coughing like mad. muz experience mah. lol.

[Throttle]

cigars should only be lit with butane gas lighters or matchsticks.

 

other types of lighters that uses liquid fuel or cnadle or wax will taint the taste of the cigar. that means Zippos are out! zippos use liquid fuel which give off a smell.

 

ST Duponts, Davidoffs, Dunhills all approved becos these lighters use odorless and colorless butane gas. lighting cigar becos matchstick tips have chemical on them.

 

 

Jet lighters are very popular because they are very easy and quick to use for lighting a cigar. also they are handy when it is windy.

 

I however, prefer always to use my Dupont whenever possible becos i enjoy the ritual of lighting a cigar with a soft flame. It takes more skills in lighting a cigar with a soft flame. jet lighters are almost idiot proof.

Partagas Serie D No. 4 is a good old school classic Cuban smoke.

Trinidad is one of the most expensive brands for cuban cigars.

was made for diplomatic use only in the past and comes in very few vitolas.

The Trinidad fundadores is a long creamy nut base flavored smoke which is also a long loved vitola.

 

Those who are keen to try better grab soon.

Prices are fair.....

how about the partagas short? i'm getting it from shortie too, haven't smoked the Hoyo Epicure No. 2 yet, scare cannot take the strong taste, trying out the small cigar first...

[Throttle]

dont worry, hoyos are generally medium mild or light heavy.

Partagas shorts are also rather young vitolas so not very strong...

 

easy smokes......

 

Epi2 is also one of my favourite afternoon easy smoke.
