On the golf course, I smoke an AF Double Chateau Fuente SG on the front 9, and an LGC Churchill (maduro) on the back 9. For yard work, my go to is either an AF 858 (natural) or a H. Upmann Corona Major tubo. Any other time, I reach for only the goooooda stuff. :)

Thanks for the pics !! I've always wanted to visit TS, but haven't had an opportunity to do so yet. This gives me a good idea what I'm missing !!

Sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

Just smoke plenty of cigars to keep the black flies away. :p

That's great news, Jeffrey ! Congrats, and Merry Christmas !! That's great news, Jeffrey ! Congrats, and Merry Christmas !!

Looking at my 401(k) statements... :(

My understanding is that that cigar retailers with Fuente accounts are prohibited from selling Opus X on-line or via phone. Fuente wants the Opus X to drive business INTO the shoppes, which is something on-line/phone sales fail to do. To me, that explains why the only Opus X you see for sale...

Like the others above, I use the CigarMinder and it does the trick for me. I clip it onto my bag when I'm walking (98% of the time), and clip it onto the cart when I'm riding.

I was in Philly for the first time last month, and had an incredible cheesesteak sub at Campo's on Market Street. Steak, peppers and "wit" (cheese whiz, I think). Damn it was good...

No thanks. Fuente does make some great cigars, but not at those prices. I'll buy a couple boxes of Cubans at those prices. With the economy and stock market the way it is right now, it'll be interesting to see how well these sell.

1. AF Hemingway Classic 2. AF Don Carlos - any size 3. La Aurora Preferidos 4. Perdomo La Tradition Reserve Cameroon - loved the PC size ! 4. H. Upmann Cameroon Reserve Interesting comment on the AF Sand Shark. I have one tucked away - may have to pull it out for the next herf, as I'm a...

Same here. For $3, you get a damn fine lighter that only requires regular butane (not 2x/3x/4x refined). It works great and it if breaks or you lose it, you're only out $3. I've been using mine for a year with no problems. Never had any luck with the Colibris I bought.

For the price, Old Fashioned cigars aren't that bad. They used to be my "golf course" and yard cigars. From what I remember, there are three "series" - one is supposedly seconds of Macanudo, one is of Partagas and the other is Hoyo de Monterrey.

I'm also a fan of Sweet Baby Ray's. Love the flavor and it's widely available. I hate having to order stuff, and pay the extra for S&H, so it's nice to be able to pick this up at local grocery stores.

Illusion - hands down. This is my favorite non-HTF cigar.

Eat dinner outside at McCormick and Schmick's, and then enjoy a cigar afterwards overlooking the Inner Harbor.

My g/f is an underwriting manager for CountryWide. What a frickin' zoo that place is. Poorly run, poorly managed, unbelievable demands put on the remaining staff. She'd love to get out of there, but there is just nothing similar available in our area.

I'll second the recommendation of Fuentes and Padrons. Also, the La Gloria Cubana line is affordable, and delivers good quality for the $$$. Try the Churchills - they last me 9 holes on the course, and sell for less than $80 for a box of 25.

AF Double Chateau Fuente (SG), and either a LGC Series R #5 (maddie) or a LGC Churchill (maddie). Each one lasts 9-holes. Sometimes I'll bring an Anejo along, but I'd rather smoke those when they are the focus, not the little white ball I'm trying to maneuver around the course.

Smoke what YOU like, not what other people think you should like. Some people like Opus X, others don't. Same goes for all of the other "hot" cigars (Tatauje, Pepin, etc.). Find what you like, smoke it and enjoy it.
