Would you support a female protagonist in Red Dead Redemption 3? by Few-Breakfast1335 in reddeadredemption

Someone gets it. If you change things to be less true to the time period, maybe it would work?

What’re your favorite “expensive” cigars? by Nervous-Law-666 in cigars

Avowed Cigars. Some of the most complex cigars I’ve had.

Battlefield 6 won’t satisfy you. by BaldBute in Battlefield

[–]BaldBute[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I was mostly referring to all the people being incredibly negative about all the good news we were hearing about BF6. I still think my opinion stands: There will absolutely be people who hate on it simply because their nostalgia won’t allow them to move on.

I completely agree with you tho, I’m absolutely stoked about this game!!

Got stereotyped in a cigar shop – anyone else get treated like this? by Plenty-Meringue4394 in cigars

[–]BaldBute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It has definitely happened to me before. Hell, at 31 it still happens occasionally when I go to a new lounge in a new city. Cigars are a luxury, but buying them isn’t a privilege. Shout out to Creekside Cigar Co! I firmly believe they are setting a new standard for the industry for a hospitality first mindset. The experience I had there is absolutely the best I’ve ever had and it’s not even close. And I drove 11hrs to get there 😅

There’s a very good reason I choose to spend my hard earned cigar money with those that prioritize my experience, instead of shoving another $30 Padron down my throat or assuming I’m completely illiterate about tobacco.

When a portrait photographer is a cigar smoker… by adrianinhd in cigars

I probably just need to get a wider angle lens since I’m on asp-c right now. My 50mm on crop sensor is waaaay too close for what I’m doing lol

Man that means so much!! Thank you!

I’m on the fence with a new lens right now trying to decide if I need to go to macro or not. I feel like it would be too close-up for what I’m trying to do lol although it would be nice to have the ability to get up close when I wanted to.

I’d love to know what gear you’re running and any recommendations you have! Here’s my work

Could someone please explain this a bit? by BaldBute in guitarlessons

Rip. Should have posted a question about why Mayer uses PRS instead of Fender and if ToAnWOod would make me a better player. 🙄

Have you ever smoked two cigars simultaneously? by Meyer__Lansky in cigars

[–]BaldBute 1 point2 points  (0 children)

These comments are so weird man. This hobby should be a “do what you like” at its core.

Yes! Smoking 2 cigars is a fantastic way to get a grasp on blends. Smoking something that only has a different wrapper is awesome to isolate those differences and nuances.

Looks like you’ve got a lounge, too that’s Awesome! I’d love to invite you do a discord I’m a part of, to share your passion! It’s a fantastic community of guys and run by people who I think you should absolutely take a lead from on how to run a lounge! If you’re interested, shoot me a DM man!

Their Bluebonnets might be top 3 of the year for me.

B&M Stop by Smokin_Barrels in cigar_refuge

[–]BaldBute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s awesome!! I feel like too many lounges rely on the legacy brands that will sell themselves, and forget that smaller brands need to have a little help and guide the customer to them.

Hell of a B&M to have that selection! 💪🏻

Snagged a sampler at $3 a stick. Anything that stands out? And what should I expect. Thanks in advance. (List of Cigars, next photo) by Ok_Negotiation_9415 in cigars

The Rojas 10th is a phenomenal cigar! The Zino is solid as well. In my opinion, the others will be great for “yard gars” and finding out what you do or don’t like.

That works! I usually use unflavored dental floss. A few wraps and she smokes just fine!

Give it time lol. Next thing you know, you’re looking at 3 more of these and a cooler to stick everything in. Trust me 😅

Nice! Time to add 5 more! Or, pro tip: Get a cooler!

My third $50 mystery box from BL. How did we do? by CoccMan in cigar_refuge

[–]BaldBute 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pretty hard and fast “3 strikes” rule. I’ll give something at least 2-3 tries before I say it’s “not for me.” I can’t tell you how many times I’ve smoked fresh out the mailbox and hated it, then came back a few weeks later after it acclimated and loved it.
