gwdeveloper 275 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Haha, just kidding about the neckbearded part. But only because I haven't shaved in over a month. I know this site is mostly a younger crowd but do any of you older guys smoke tobacco pipes or cigars? If so, what are you favorite smokes or blends? I've been smoking a bit of Nicholsworth (nice blend with a hint of hazelnut) from our local tobacconist. Pretty decent stuff for the price. Stopping by there today to pick up a little Perique sampler for the weekend. Last week, the wife surprised me with a very nice Rocky Patel Old World Reserve cigar as a reward for finishing the house siding. Very nice smoke after a long, hard day of work.

GeekDoc 226 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I quit cigarettes 20 years ago. But when I was active-duty military, I tried a hookah in Kuwait. They had a lot of interesting flavors of tobacco; came in compressed little blocks. I didn't care for it much. We also had a tradition to have a cigar the night before we headed home. Most places we went, we could get real Cuban cigars. They were quite good. gatImmusepete 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdownj 1 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Heh that's the best part of a trip to the sand... "Cuban" cigars at night... gatImmusepete 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 There's a place in downtown Austin that sells pre-ban Cuban cigars. But you know how that goes... if you have to ask how much something is, you probably can't afford it' My military career was extremely short. Almost 16 years ago, I collapsed two vertebrae at boot camp and got the boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GeekDoc 226 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Heh that's the best part of a trip to the sand... "Cuban" cigars at night... Wasn't always in "the sand", but the British were handy suppliers when we were there. Other places, you had to search around, but we could usually find them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zeke 693 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 No neck beard here. I'm an oldie compared to all these other young whipper snappers and sadly, I can't grow a beard yet. I shave every second day. When I was five, my friend and I stole his mom's pack of Rothman's and smoked 20 in a row. :crazy: :!!!: I cured myself of the smoking curiosity that day.

gwdeveloper 275 Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Man, I bet that would be a cure for sure. Ouch. The "kid" at the tobacco store tried to steer me from the heavier blends but I persisted. Frog Morton On the Bayou is now at the top of my list for quality smoke.

kenemon 29 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 After ten years of Mar Reds, I have quit. A couple years in Mexico and Florida, at a few bucks a pack didnt help. It was very satifying experience. I tried the mints, and they were great (gum tasted like sh&^). When I ran out I started to crave the nicotine, and I tried a couple of cigars. The expensive ones were a disapointment when I threw them out the window after five minutes. The cheap "owl" brand are the local fav for blunts, but they actually are pretty smoothe, and i didnt feel bad having one every day or so. Luckily I met a buddy, of angelic character. He has struggled with many addictions over the years and smoking was his latest triumph. He was a heavy 2 pack a day guy, so I was quite impressed. Last time I saw him he had quit for a year or two. This time he admitted to a relapse, which he had overcome with a new device. He gave me one of those electronic cigs, offered me a puff of his "bong-like" vaporizor, and I have been hooked since. There are many flavors, etc, but puffs on this little "flashlight" have completely rid me of the desire to buy any cigs. Lets hope the vapor doesnt kill in some unforseen way Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gwdeveloper 275 Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Oh yes, those iolite vaporizers are pretty sweet. Haven't tried one yet but the idea is cool. If all the bicycle, motorcycle and car crashes (amateur racing is dangerous and expensive) I've been in haven't killed me, I'm doubting a little smoke would have a chance at taking me out. :shifty: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
