In a recent twitter poll, I asked my followers what their favorite cigar to smoke was during a football game. With the football season in full swing I’d love to hear what everyone is smoking?
A couple of weeks ago I got a text message from my Dad. He said that he heard about a cigar event being held at the East End Athletic Club in Pottstown, PA and asked if I wanted to join him. With the world on high-alert this would be the first Cigar Event I would […]
If you’ve been following along over the past few weeks as I’ve stumbled my way out of retirement – you may recall a challenge I issued myself just this past week. In an effort to dig myself out of a Cigar Rut, I wanted to smoke Three New-To-Me Cigars this week. I feel obligated to […]
As I type this post, I’m sitting in the Private Lounge here at Gilbertsville Cigar Factory. It is 7:30pm on a Monday night, the shop is closed, and I’m all alone – puffing away on what feels like my millionth AJ Fernandez New World. As Tool plays on Pandora and smoke fills the air, a […]
i like the perdamo habano maduro… or maybe a nub (conn.) or two…
I don’t smoke while watching the game, but I always have beer on hand. My favorites during the games include Harp Lager and Yuengling Porter. A recent discovery that has been enjoyed the past 2 Monday nights is Otter Creek’s Stovepipe Porter.
Unfortunately…I can’t smoke inside my home..and there is nowhere in the vacinity to smoke and watch a game…However..if I were to find myself in such a situation..I would probably go with a Padron 1926 #9 maduro..
A nub is Connecticut is perfect for me when the birds are playing, but if I don’t have one in the humidor I usually go for an oliva g. I don’t really like lighting up a real flavorful cigar when I’m watching a game because I will get side tracked easily. It’s better to save them for the PLAYOFF’S. The cowboys game was a fluke!
For me, determining the “perfect” cigar for any occasion is a process. My smokes are usually accompanied by a seltzer or, more often, a specially roasted coffee and I pair accordingly.
I peruse the contents of 4 humidors… whatever is visually inviting at the moment causes me to pick up a few cigars, roll them between my fingers, look at the wrapper, sheen, check the pre-light aroma on the foot, etc.
I usually smoke (2) per game or match (football and futbol), so I go with a couple of coronas or perfectos. Sometimes maduro. It’s totally about the moment. Can’t say I have a “go to” but base it more on the desired overall experience. Usually my best friend is over so I pick out something special/hard to come by to serve.
It’s always something different!
