Cigars/Women & Wine-The BIG THREE

Malone,

I just lit up a San Cristobal de la Habana La Fuerza (5 ½ x 50), sitting in my office. It is a great afternoon smoke and delicious with a cup of Kenyan coffee. The construction of this cigar is smooth and firm; peppery and full bodied.

Presently, FuManchu is in disgrace (at least with my wife). Why? Along with swimming, playing and getting into things (did I mention, another reason he likes it under my cigar cabinet, is that when in trouble, HE thinks it's an excellent hiding place.

This morning, Fu was (apparently) practicing stalking skills in the yard (I don't think he's ever caught anything in his young life, but the effort is always great fun even if you come up empty handed) when he flushed a pelican. The pelican, while trying to escape my goldie (my children, who were in the kitchen, related this in great detail) half waddled and flew through the front door, making a left in the living room and then took a u-turn with a right hook into the kitchen, with Fu in hot pursuit.

My take: between my wife (with a broom), and the girls (who were running around the kitchen after both of them), the stalker and the stalkee decided that the better part of valor was NOT to stay in the same area as a mad french woman with said weapon in hand -- they fled, taking the kitchen table cloth as far as the front door (accidentally I am sure 8).

It's quiet now. My wife went to her exercise class and the kids are at a party; there's just me, a smoke, good coffee, sunshine and the disgraced Fu who is undeer the cigar cabinet, enjoying a day in the bay. No pelicans :wink:

That is something right out of a movie. Just recieved some San Cristobols myslef. Never had one but I am staring at a mini belicoso. Will take it with me to the wedding shower in St. Louis this weekend. It will give me an excuse to ditch the women folk :D
 
Cian:
Cigar smoking stories are great. My compliments, and keep them coming.
Golden( Fu Man Chu) stories are priceless to me.
I'm trying to piece the story together of my recent Golden experience.
I was at work and did not see this event.
According to my wife- this Wednesday from about from 3:00Pm to 3:30PM, my backyard- fenced +/- 3/4 acre- was occupied by my two Goldens, My Wife, My Grandson 4 1/2 years old( Malone) and my neighbors Doberman Pincer Minerature puppy- 5 months old. No one has been able to tell me the same story. All were running in different directions. No one can explain how the puppy got into my yard. Goldens chased thye puppy and teamed up to get him to stop. They did not attack but just sat at attention when the puppy was cornered. Puppy also sat at attention. Wife and Grandson tried to keep pace. When all got together in the same spot. The chase started over again. After 30 minutes all were exhausted and took a nap. Everyone came out a winner.

The only dogs I've got are for hunting, two English Springer Spaniels, but they are just spoiled to death. The only time I've smoked a cigar around them, Mollie (the younger one, almost 2 years old) got a bit too close to the cigar, got a good snoot full of smoke and ran around like crazy sneezing and barking at me. She was not a happy girl!
Getting down to business:
Romeo y Julieta Maduro
Irish boyfriend
Dalmore, Maker's Mark, or as strange as it sounds....Pepsi.
 
You guys got it all wrong

1) Nicotine (good CAO or Oliva--hey, its what I like)
2) Alcohol (good red wine)
3) Coffee (can't forget that)
4) sexy American husband

:twisted:

Only problem is when I was single I could smoke indoors...He has the wisdom to manage the first three and I have the wisdom to manage him.
 
Woodgirl:
Welcome and you are right.

i think the oliva and cao are good choices, i smoke those when i need to smoke something other than padron or fuente. Im glad you threw in coffee. I prefer some good hazelnut coffee with a padron cigar over any alcohol. With fuente i like red wine, or now scotch.
