Feel Better Smoke Recommendation?

madurofan

Anyone have a cigar that they tend to smoke to make them feel better when they are down or pissed off? I don't know, say like when you blow the head on your 3 year old truck, right after warranty runs out. Preferrably something on the lower end as said truck is going to suck up a lot of money.

Hmmm sounds tasty. Neh ... Ford Ranger. Apparently the 3.0L V6 has major issues with the heads.

Hey jb welcome aboard. Not a flavored or sweet person myself but I am quite familiar with the Bacarrat. A lot of people love that cigar. I like a medium - full body with a swift kick in the seat of your pants cigar. Have you smoked the Acids? I have a buddy of mine that started off on Bacarrats and now absolutely loves the Acid lines.

Oh yes I most definetly have had the Padron 1964, actually have one in the humi still I think. Man you've got me all excited I think that might be the answer. JB I take it you smoke a wide variety of cigars? Anything from flavored to the Padron 1964 thats a nice array.

Markbb

Yes the padro 64 is very good, sorry to hear about the head, maybe check some junk yards, some of the yards around here will let you pull your own for 100bucks, and get new bolts and a good torque wrench, don't reuse the old bolts....

Nice JB. I'm trying to open myself up to more cigars, I tend to get stuck on a particular brand or wrapper. Let me know how that Partagas black goes.

madurofan

Yea Mark we have one around here that does that. I think thats what I'm going to do.

If you like the 5 vegas series A then youll love the partagas black. simaler flavor profile but a lot more of it.

madurofan

I'm pretty sure I've had all the 5 Vegas' i bought a sampler a while back but the series A isn't standing out.

madurofan

crap hit send too early. What was the flavor profile on that one? I'm going to buy one of those books where you can tape the band in and write a review anyone else have one of those?

I like the hint of nut and the "sharp" cedar. Medium body? I'm going at lunch and buying one.

kuzi16

the partagas black classico (robusto 5.2 x 55 ) i think is the best size.

madurofan

Hitting the tobacconist on the way home for that.

Maduro, FORD... Fix Or Repair Daily. I have Two Explorers and use to have Thunderbirds. I still like the damn things and have not had too much trouble with any of them ( knock on wood ). ( Beetles) haha. Any cigar works for a pick me up, relax, get the truck fixed and try and forget about it. Because after all .. will it matter much next year ? Are you going to have the truck repaired by Ford or on your own? I had a major repair on one of the explorers,Transmission, right after warranty ran out and called Ford. Found the number online, filed a customer complaint, and they paid half the dealership repair cost. It still cost 1800 bucks but the original estimate was like 3800.

Kasp, Found On Road Dead - Driver Returns On Foot. You have 2 exploders and no troubles? You better care a piece of wood around with and knock on it constantly. This is the first and last Ford I'll ever own, for a few reasons. Always had imports and as soon as I fix this, which I'll do myself with a head from the junkyard, I'm trading it in. I went looking at a couple new cars today, let me tell you something boys now seems to be the time to buy a car they were practically trying to give me the cars I test drove. Ash, I think I might just do like you guys and make my own binder.

did you ever get that partagas black?

madurofan, I went all fancy style and bought one of those cigar dossiers you were referring to. I think it is a classy looking way to keep a record, though I would like the comment portion to be a bit larger.

madurofan

Kuzi, I did not. The B&M didn't have one and I've been drinking a lot of beer the past few days so I stuck with Ccom blends and 5 Vegas' as it doesn't hurt my feeling to have one of those with a beer. The B&M manager is going to shoot me an email when they get some of the Patagas blacks in.

madurofan

Joe, I was going to get one of those but after hearing a couple other people and now you saying the sections were too small I might just make my own.

j0z3r

Yeah, not a bad idea. Definitely cheaper to make your own, I probably should have gone that route myself. Lesson learned.

madurofan

Eh there have definetly been more expensive mistakes than that dossier.
