    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Those get much Those get better with about 2-3 years of age on them. I found them too strong off the hop.

    Tonights Delight Tat Havana Cazador Reserva Love this size in the original brown band, but the broadleaf adds that extra sweetness and character.

    Recommendation: Something Similar to Rattray's Marlin Flake?

    I am looking for a recommendation from all you "experienced" and discerning smokers. I really liked the aged RMF I have, and will be grabbing some new tins, but something in the same vein would be appreciable. I would like to see what is out there that comes close to RMF from other blenders. A...

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    Tonights Delight ‘08 Blackpoint. Mustran for the win. It is growing on me quickly; both tobacco and pipe. Bought some new tobacco to test out, since I haven’t bought anything new since ‘11. Gotta get that palate narrowed down on likes/dislikes. I can give a breakdown of almost all cigar leaves...

    Todays Delight ‘08 Pease Blackpoint in the Mustran. Went to a good friends place the other night. He gifted me this pipe because he is a frickin awesome guy.

    ***What Are You Smoking, December 2023?***

    Last nights Delight ‘08 Marlin Flake in the Marwyn. Trying to figure out what smokes best in this pipe. I ended up getting 3/4 of the bowl smoked, as opposed to around half with the Abingdon last night. The flavors were fantastic. Raisins and dark fruit to start, then calmed down to a smooth...

    Some ‘08 Pease Embarcadero in the LHS Marwyn. First bowl in a couple years, so let’s see how this all goes. This tin was already opened and put in a jar, so hopefully the little bit of drying out I did prior to lighting will help. Back in the game !

    What Cigar are You Smoking? 2023

    Tonights Delight Friends of Habanos blended with Alex Gonzalez. “La Puntilla” ‘16 Alex rolled a pile for the FOH board back in the day. I was lucky enough to catch a bundle when I visited him in Cuba. So much better than even 2 years ago; they were too strong.

    Canuck in the wild

    Yes, but still ridiculous. You can still find tobacco's in the limited shops we do have, but the price has jumped up almost as much as cigars.

    Canuck in the wild

    Hello fellow BOTL’s. I joined the board a few years ago, thinking I was going to get back into pipes, but didn’t. My bad. I am a seasoned vet to cigars. Been smoking since ‘09, about the time I slowed down with pipes. I am wanting to get back into the swing of it again, as I know I am missing...

    Real Bad at Lighting Cigars

    I exclusively use multiple types of single-flame torch lighters. I find it is waaay too easy to scorch your wrappers with dual or triple flames. -Cigar in one hand, lighter in the other. -Hold the lighter away from the cigar and bring it closer until your end starts heating up and burning a bit...
