If you like maduro and want another cheap smoke, give the Brickhouse Mighty Mighty a shot.


I actually swung by Habana Port today and got one of these and another Padron 64.

I like Speyside single malts. Speyside is a region in Scotland.


I've been branching out and trying new drams.

I've got a Laphroaig Select(Isle of Isley)which I find is not quite as smokey as the regular Laphroaig (to me it's better).

A bottle of Bunnahabhain 12 (Islay) which is a little smoother thant the Laphroaig Select.

And a Highland Park 12 (Orkney Islands) which I find more briney than peaty.

Like them all.

Of course I always have a highland malt around too.

Have you tried the new 14-yr bourbon cask matured (light blue box) Glenfiddich? It is wonderful, maybe better than the 15s, IMHO.

Oh really? Well then, a trip to the liquor store is in order.

Same here. I split it with a couple of cigar buddies. Usually, someone brings the smokes, and we split a nice bottle of scotch. This way we can reasonably try new (often expensive) scotches.

A nice cup of coffee is also a great compliment.

Many afficianados believe it to be the best beverage to pair with a cigar.

I tried a Cromagnon Anthropology at my local cigar club tonight. I'd put it somewhere between medium and bold. I enjoyed it. About to have a Rocky Patel 1999 Connecticut and some cardhu 12 yr on my back porch

The Mighty Mighty was a fantastic stick for the price. I was very surprised at the flavor for a sub $6 stick.

There are 3 cigars in that sampler that are worth the cost of the whole thing. Good find

I would like some advice from you cigar guys about cigars vs cigarettes. I'm a pack a week, if that smoker, usually when I'm drinking. Is 1-2 cigars a week as bad as smoking let's say 10-15 cigarettes per week?

Ask a pulmonologist.

Not a bunch of fat smokers.

I'm not fat.

That said, I would think 2-3 cigars per week would not be as bad as cigarettes unless you don't inhale the cigarettes.

Of course, I don't inhale the cigars.
