Godiva Cigar

I'm putting this back on the top.....

If it makes people feel better, we used Macanudo's! I wouldn't smoke those anyway....

I agree with you about your feelings of tobacco Malone, that is why I don't smoke flavored cigars....

Read my post in your signing off thread....
:wink:
 
Jhiggs, if you think malone's reaction was strong, you should have heard a few of us, especially me, back in my days on another web site. I think malone has displayed enough decency in the discussions here, and perhaps in personal contact with others so that no one need to be suspicious of his motivations. If I weren't a moderator here, I might let loose with some of my past comments about people smoking flavored cigars. Of course, none of those remarks were ever made with any sort of true animosity or real disrespect, because I'd have be a real idiot to feel that way about someone just because they wanted to smoke a cigar that tasted like a pizza with sundried tomato and pineapple.

I believe if one had been able to see malone during his post, he probably would have had a huge lump on one side of his face from having his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. As has been observed on more than one occasion, it's easy to read something on the internet and "get offended." I see no need here, because I think malone has shown he's a pretty good guy.

As for flavored cigars, if you folks have noticed, I tend to avoid those discussions, except for some light comments about cognac flavored cigars I used to smoke on occasion, and my experience with Maker's Mark cigars.

So, I'm taking malone by the HAND (as a FRIEND, we are not announcing another "MARRIAGE" here :rotflmao: ) and leaving. Harumph. :sm_angel:

If you really want to find us, we'll be at my new Uncle Ernie's backyard barbecue with my new best friend Macallan. :bolt:
 
Thors comment goes a long way here. Flavored cigars and acids etc are a part of the industry like it or not, and since Thor is in the industry it is necessary for him to do this stuff. I personally dont like flavored cigars except a few here and there, however, I have alsways been curiious about the infussion process. I know a lot of old timers that love bourbon dipped cigars etc and I think it is valid.


Let us all recall one thing. We all have different tastes and smoke different things. But we all love cigars. I like this forum becuase of its acceptance of everyone and the eagarness of its members. Many of us have left "other" forums becuase of a lack of tollerance. SO EVERYONE PUT A SMILE ON :D . I refuse to be counted as one of those "other" forums.

I recall the quote "Keep good company and be counted one of them"
 
Oh, I forgot, I really meant CHEF Macallan.

Chef Macallan's Single Malt Haggis
Chef Macallan's Single Malt Atlantic Salmon in Lemon Mushroom Butter
Chef Macallan's Single Malt 8 oz. burgers
Chef Macallan's Single Malt Caramel Ice Cream with Single Malt Whipped Cream Topping
Chef Macallan's Single Malt Flan

That should be enough to fill at least two episodes of your first season. I'll be back with more suggestions. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
 
I'm gone for two days and this is what I come back to! I respect the decision of those who choose not to smoke flavored cigars. Some are just not worth it, like Cojimar Sugar Tips, I think they're by Drew Estate, but don't quote me on that. I may as well have just chewed on the cigar all night rather than ruin it by smoking it! Blech! But I very much appreciate the inventiveness to infuse Godiva Liquer into a good cigar. I've always though of myself as a but unconventional and enjoying an unconventional cigar seems to fit right in. I'll say this about Drew Estate. I've tried a few and for the most part they taste almost the same.
 
Why thank you very much Cigarsmoka! I feel like I'm missing out on my social life if I miss a day on the forums! 8)
 
Oh yes, there is so much going on here...I usually don't post on weekends and when I come back I feel lost!
 
I see the same type of reaction on the beer froums .... "commercial swill" compared to "high quality" beer.

The debate rages on but, at the end of the day it's all about the simple pleasure of enjoying a cigar.....relax!!!!

There is fine line between a purist and a snob, and I don't mean that in a bad way.....I'm both!!!!!

Smoke On!!!
 
Well, for my part I'm still delighted that we don't all like/love the same cigar/automobile/woman/etc/etc. I've learned a lot from the posters here, and, I still get to decide what I do or don't like. I'm told (I'm not old enough to have been around) that the debate over DC power verses AC at one point became quite heated. Regards
 
Well Hoppy, when it comes to headache inducing American pisswater like Swillweiser, Poor's, Spiller, etc., I know what you mean. I could post a list of some of my favorites like Fin Du Monde, Rogue's Shakespeare Stout, Duvel, Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome, Old Foghorn, Celebration Ale, St. Sixtus, Samichlaus, Anchor Porter, Sri Lanka Lion Stout, and some cask conditioned ales that my friend Alex Hall, an English Feller is trying to introduce into the American market, as well as a host of others, but, . . .

nahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, why bother?

:cryinlaugh: :duh: :mrgreen: :sm_angel: :pumpkin: :bolt:
 
I just don't think beer and cigars go together. For some reason that just doesn't sound like it would be too tasty.
Hey Bloof, you forgot to mention Keystone Light, although I'm not sure what names you could come up with for that one. That's what I used to drink in high school with my friends at parties only because it was really cheap and you could get your hands on a lot of it.
I get my hands on a good share of Fat Tire from time to time though so at least I've moved up in the world!
 
cobsgirl- It is hard to find a beer that goes good with a cigar. The hop aroma and flavor of a Pale Ale or an IPA can be lost with even a light bodied cigar. I think you have to go big with the beer, a barlywine or a scotch ale. IMHO cognac, or single malt scotch is the most compatable. Although if you cleanse your palate with water while you smoke any drink would work.
 
brown ale is good with a cigar, and a nice stout can be very complimenting. of course budlight or coors isnt going to work. thats like topping a bagel with ultra light cream cheese lol.
 
I agree a good single malt is the way to go with a good cigar. Dalmore is really good. My boyfriend and I had some Dalmore with a Bolivar robusto once and the mix of the two made an almost buttery smooth flavor, it was awesome. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Pepsi is good for taking the edge off a really spicy cigar. I don't want my taste buds singed off before I have a chance to enjoy my cigar!
 
For me, flavored cigars served as a stepping stone, a bridge if you will, to ultimately loving pure, natural tasting cigars. It was kind of like testing the water before plunging into a passion that you all make me crave even more as I read your posts.

Bloofington,

you and Malone can come over for barbecue and rum punches anytime and we'll smoke some CAO Brazilia Amazons. Don't be surprised if you find me infusing some macanudos with rum punch...what's your secret Cigarsmoka? You guys take care and, just to let you know, I tried my first diploma last weekend, and its now on my favorites list. Take care guys.

Uncle Ernie
 
Making Diploma smokers... one at a time. Great to hear from you ernie. thought you disappeared on us.
 
how would one go about adding flavor to cigars. For example, what about captain morgans put into a cigar, maybe its just me, but i think that would be amazing, could it be as simple as putting an open cup of the rum and a cigar in a humidor or tupperware container

havn't been this excited in a while.....is that sad???
