Mathazar Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 Hey man, I know this is an off-topic thread, but I gotta tell ya, those LFD DL 700's are my new FAVORITE next to Ashton VSG Spellbound As far as full-bodied flavor, they're just a mini-version of the VSG's, almost as full-bodied, but I find that these have TONS of flavor. Thanks a BUNCH for the tip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 having smoked cigarettes, I am not so sure about cigars, whenever I've tried them,I just hated it. Tried inhaling them deeper to get something, but didn't really do much other than irritate me. What's the best way to enjoy cigars? just short puffs? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Well, first off, you're not supposed to inhale them. Only WILDMEN like flcigarguy would attempt such a stunt, which he does on a daily basis As far as I know, short puffs are the way to really taste the flavor of the cigar and it makes the cigar last longer. But I take big puffes, I'm a puffer, I like seeing big pumes of smoke. I usually take 3 big puffs at a time. I feel that gives me a substantial amount of flavor and a good nicotine hit Btw, anyone interested in trying the second BEST cigar I've ever smoked, then try this........reccommended by flcigarguy: La Flor Dominicana "Double Ligero" 700's AWESOME SMOKE.........LOADED WITH FLAVOR........MmmmMm! In this cigar, I've found a new gem of a smoke. Thanks flcigarguy!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrailsgalore Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 yeah inhaling a cigar is like downing a whole bottle of jack daniels...you just pull the smoke into your mouth then blow out and enjoy the flavor...Im a cheapy so I usualy just get swisher seet blunts or sometimes buy a flavored cigar.

Mathazar Posted May 17, 2005 Author Share Posted May 17, 2005 Those are all machine-made and dipped in sugar Buy an Ashton VSG Spellbound and you'll see a glimpse of Heaven, for only $15 a smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 thanks for the info guys. Will have to check out some of these recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted May 18, 2005 Author Share Posted May 18, 2005 You can pick up La Flor Dominicana DL 700 at: www.CigarsInternational.com OUTSTANDING CIGAR!!! But you'll need a humidor for it with a good humidification system. If you need more info on how to store cigars, just ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flcigarguy Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 I'm glad you enjoyed them Math. Inhaling cigars is more of a matter of personal preference. I don't really want to get into a long dissertation on an off-topic subject, but inhaling cigars is not chemically equivalent to inhaling cigarettes. I won't say that I inhale every puff and it's definitely not a reason to smoke cigars. You can fully enjoy them without inhaling but under no circumstances would I smoke Phillies or Swishers. Those are not even 100% tobacco folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathazar Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Well, that's $15 a smoke in Milwaukee. Wisconsin tobacco taxes are OUTRAGIOUS compared to the rest of the country. If you do happen to find an Ashton VSG Spellbound, make sure you don't smoke it on an empty stomach, or it's very likely that you'll be on your knees hurling whatever IS in your stomach. This is a VERY full-bodied smoke. If you think hookah smoking gives you a buzz, try an Ashton VSG Spellbound. Btw, Spellbound is the size. This is a HUGE cigar and will take you easily an hour to smoke. I reccommend a good steak & potato dinner before indulging in a Spellbound. If you're really interested, you can either run a search for these cigars, which is likely to turn-up nothing because they're so rare, or you can go to any one of these sites: Well, forget about that idea! I've been Googling and the only Spellbounds I can find are $24 to $30 a stick online Check your local tobacco shop and see if they've got em. It'll be WELL worth your time and money. And don't forget what I said about smoking on an empty stomach....HIGHLY unadvisable!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Mo Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 lol, I decided to go empty my wallet on a few cigars in Harrods (which is the most famous shop in the world). bought one of those VSG spellbound to try (cost around 30 us dollars ). also got something called a romeo y juliet with a wood cover, and also something called saint luis rey. tried the saint luis rey anf romeo y juliet, and found the saint luis rey a more mellow smoke. gonna save the VSG spellbound till tomorrow. The damn thing is HUGE and double the length of the others (which explains the price). btw, I know nothing about cigars, and ignore anything I say about them lol. Just having a bit of fun and feeling like a gangster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alen Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 PM me your adress and ill send you some nice cigars that my wife took home last time she was travelling-nothing fancy but its the only ones i smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathazar Posted May 31, 2005 Author Share Posted May 31, 2005 King Mo, I wouldn't save that VSG Spellbound for very long outside of a humidor because it will go bad, and the flavor will SUCK!!! If you don't have a humidor, which is a well-humidified cedar-lined box with a humidification system, then I would suggest smoking that VSG today........PRONTO!!! The humidor and humidification system keeps the cigars from drying-out. Too much time outside of a humidor, the cigar's wrapper will very likely unravel and you'll have a VERY unpleasant smoke. It only takes two days outside of a humidor for a cigar to go stale, and keep it away from cold climates, as cold is VERY bad for tobacco. Please smoke it today after eating a good meal because I'd HATE to see you having wasted $30 on a VSG, the finest Dominincan Cigar on the Planet!!! Smoke it slow and enjoy the fine flavor of this very special cigar. Although, if you've already smoked the other two, then I would wait several hours til this evening: 1. So you can get the flavor out of your mouth from the other two cigars 2. Because smoking a VSG too soon after smoking other cigars will very likely make you sick, as in leaning over the edge of a toilet with your head in the bowl. I'm glad you acted upon my reccommendation to get a VSG Spellbound, but please don't let it sit in the open air drying-out for too long. I really want you to enjoy this cigar!!!

But I do think Cigars are not for me, perhaps on very rare occasions I may go for them again, as Harrods has all cigars pretty much and is accessible for me. Thanks for the recommendation, but I will have to stick with shisha for the time being, was interesting experience but something I'll do very rarely. I'll leave it to the sophisticated gentlement to smoke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathazar Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 It's actually called: Romeo y Julieta, and it's a fantastic cigar! King Mo......if you wanna try just ONE more cigar man, go back to Harrod's and pick up a Romeo y Julieta Anniversario. It's the BEST R y J made Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
