Post-marathon Cigar
So... It is Wednesday. In 3 days, 12 hours, and 30 minutes I'll start on my second Marine Corps Marathon. I've stayed away from alcohol and cigars over the past few weeks and I'm looking to break my abstinence streak with something delicious. Any recommendations?
I'm thinking either a CAO Brazilia, a Cabaiguan, an OpusX (never had one), LFD Chisel, or maybe a Tat Black? All of these are sitting in the humi just waiting for me go give them a shot. I've never had the Opus or LFD before. Suggestions? |

Re: Post-marathon Cigar
Go with your favorite cigar. It sux when you look forward to a cigar and it turns out you don't like it. If you do try one you never had, be sure to have that favorite for a back-up.

Go with what you know brother. Save the experimenting with unknown cigars for another time. Just because some percentage of the people here think Opus X's are fantastic & delicious cigars, doesn't mean that you will like them; you very well might discover that hate them, and a "special moment" when you wanted a delicious cigar is not the time to discover that you can't stand something like an Opus X. (not my aim to single out Opus X's, so you can insert any cigar name you want there, but your query of "I have a special occasion, I have an ____ I've never tried a _____, I want a really good cigar for that occasion, should I smoke the _____?" is an oft repeated question, and it seems like 4 out of 5 times, the ______ is "Opus X") |

Re: Post-marathon Cigar
Sam, have you run a marathon before?
As an experienced marathon runner my suggestion is to plan on something on the lighter side, and see how you feel. |

Re: Post-marathon Cigar
Hah definitely wasn't clear with this one. Contrary to how it may seem I will not be smoking immediately after the marathon. I simply meant next week sometime, once my body has recovered a bit. This will be my second marathon. I'm leaning heavily towards the Brazilia or Cabaiguan -- probably the Cabaiguan. I love both of these cigars so I know that I won't be disappointed.
