Smoke what you like, like what you smoke, Steve.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Preach, brother.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Of course. If you don't what is the point of smoking?

Re: Big ring stogies
 

It's a saying on here, not just you in particular.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

unless you smoke acids :r:r:r

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I was talking to the local BM owner yesterday about Acids. We both agreed (And a lot of guys on here do as well iirc) that Acids are awesome. I don't like them, no. But a LOT of guys start out of 'em, and it wets their whistle and gets the gears moving to the "regular" Cigar world. Props to DE in my book. Acids are completely gross though.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I didnt realize that this was another useless banter thread/ :sh bishes

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I've only been here a little while but it seems like if you give any thread enough time on here it will turn into a banter thread at some point or another. To me banter is part of what makes the asylum great. :2

Re: Big ring stogies
 

To get back on topic I gave a prof of mine who is an known cigar smoker a Gran Momba as a half way gag gift and he loved it.

He hasn't smoked it yet but he was pretty excited when I gave it to him.

Tell him to remove the cello before lighting. ;)

Re: Big ring stogies
 

He looks like an Actor, can't remember the Movies that he's been in. He's one of those "Oh that guy" Actors, where most don't know their names. Craaaaap.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Words of wisdom! I'll remember that myself. LOL

Brad Pitt?

More Denzel Washington than Brad Pitt. :sh

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Banter has it's own sub-forum and threads will occasionally get off-topic thru banter. But when a topical thread goes sideways, many others get frustrated and stop reading and participating. It's important to at least try and show some good judgement as to when and how much banter is appropriate.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

:tpd:

Re: Big ring stogies
 

No, just another thread where the civilized, refined, and experienced gentlemen who enjoy thin RGs berate the uncivilized, billy goats who enjoy thicker cigars. Just my calm, objective :2
;):rolleyes:

Re: Big ring stogies
 

hey! that's not true.
i just skimmed every comment in this thread and learned that i have to REMOVE the cello before lighting!!

no wonder i hate NCs so much :r

Re: Big ring stogies
 

My first sticks bought at B&M were acids. Gave away the second ones I bought once I realized how much more I like other sticks and how much I disliked them.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Glad you stepped up a bit to some NC goodness :r

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I bought 4 Kuda Kuda's on my first B&M trip earlier this month. I smoked one at a friend's house and it was ok. I got a few so I could have some when I went to his house. But I realized the same thing, I like other non-flavored cigars better. Haven't smoked one since and have one left that will probably be his the next time I go over.

As for big rings, I picked up a CAO Flathead V770 Big Block Cigar the other day since my friend bought one. We haven't smoked it yet but decided to wait until we're cooking something in the backyard that will take a while so we have time to sit and try it out.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Just toss some ribs or a brisket in the smoker. Have plenty of time them. Good eats after as well!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Smoke what you like, like what you smoke brother. And welcome to the asylum.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Thanks for the welcome. Not saying I won't smoke an acid ever again but I'm definitely leaning toward the non-flavored cigars. Having a CAO Italia Novella from a sampler I bought a couple weeks ago at the moment and it is pretty nice!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

CAO has some good lines...the L'Anniversaire Maduro line is my favorite...seek it out if you have the chance! (red band with gold writing since they all look relatively similar)

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I have a CAO Maduro Belicoso (L'anniversaire ) from the sampler I got so maybe I'll give that one a try tomorrow. I'm nearly done with the Italia at the moment and really liked it. If I didn't have a ton of cigars on their way to me I may have gotten some more of them. Went a little crazy these past few days now that I have a wineador with some room so I think I'm putting the breaks on until I load it up with everything I've ordered and see how much room I have left.

BTW, the CAO sampler I got was the CAO Champions II sampler with the travel humidor. The Italia is the first one I've smoked out of them.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

The LA maduro, LX2, and MX2 are all awesome! Great selection you got there!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Exactly what we are thinking!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I like how a day after my post about it, Luke shows up :r
Welcome Luke, by the way.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Thanks. Post about what? What did I miss? I'm a few sheets to the wind so don't mind me!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

I got ya ya drunkard :)

I said that Acids bring a lot of guys into the Cigar world, and that it's dumb to mock them.
Different strokes for different folks. Smoke what ya like, like what ya smoke. Well, that used to be the motto around here.

Re: Big ring stogies
 

:r:r

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Ah, I missed that. Feeling better now though!

Re: Big ring stogies
 

Saw an Asylum 6X80 at at the B&M this past weekend. That's the largest ring gauge cigar that I've picked up and held. Crazy big cigar! Not my style but the guys at the shop said that people have been buying them.

I think my favorite 60 ring gauge cigar is the Cromagnon Mandible - although on most days I would prefer an anthropology.

Smoke what you like, and like what you smoke!
