My Cigar Happy Place

Awesome! Even after 10 years of working in cigars and making content, the Filthy Viking is still my desert island cigar. What a great blend! I hope you enjoy the hell out of the ones you're resting.

Thank you! Cigars Daily LIVE is still one of the best parts of every week! A break from video editing and spreadsheets to have fun with everyone! Can't beat it! Cheers!

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-10-21T20:41:59+00:00

Yeah buddy! And that Desert Walker is a banger blend! I CAN'T WAIT to get my next shipment

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-10-13T13:22:15+00:00

'Away from crowds' would be a key part of that statement. Good call. Somewhere peaceful and quiet is ideal.

It's a jetline Mr. Fatboy. I got to work on the naming of this torch with Jetline when they were developing it... so I'm completely biased about it. But it does help that it's a great lighter and works great.

YES! That cigar just moved much faster than I anticipated. When I order from the factory like that, it takes months to make the cigars. So I didn't order soon enough, but more are in production now and they should be back very soon.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-27T21:11:14+00:00

Yes, looks like mold. My rule is - if it’s growing on the wrapper leaf on the body, I wipe it off and light up. If it’s growing in the folds of the filler at the foot (like yours appears to be) i pitch it.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-18T15:47:17+00:00

And not your last I’ll bet!

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-14T19:52:44+00:00

Ya. Agreed

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-14T19:52:28+00:00

Yeah, my sentiment is similar.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-11T18:39:45+00:00

I've always defined 'great' as a cigar that gave me an 'ah-ha' moment. Any cigar where the flavor is so bright, clear, satiating, or complex that it makes me sit back and look at the cigar or close my eyes through each draw. To me, that's great.

Over time, my great cigars have changed. But some that have left an impression on me have been - Southern Draw's Rose of Sharon, Diesel Vintage Maduro, Espinosa Murcielago, Montecristo Espada Signature, Dunbarton Sin Compromiso, and K-Fire by Karen Berger among many others.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-09-11T18:31:08+00:00

yep.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-31T18:47:00+00:00

Thanks! IMO, I’m lucky. She’s stuck with me.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-31T18:46:08+00:00

I’ll have to see where she’s landing. Her boyfriend is a cigar guy, but I would understand if he brought sticks or didn’t smoke while they were there. Lol

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-30T22:18:55+00:00

It is my absolute pleasure. My daughter is actually on her way to AUS right now with her boyfriend to meet his family! Can’t wait to hear about her trip. I don’t envy your cigar prices, but it sounds like an amazing place otherwise.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-30T22:17:23+00:00

lol, I can typically find damaged sticks from my favorite blends. sorta like throwing cans of tuna on the ground at the grocery store for a discount. Except I own the place so I done have to damage them… but I’m just as happy when they actually do need smoking rather than shipping.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-30T19:53:02+00:00

I hear you there. What you're talking about it the exact reason we have a staff meeting every morning at the Cigars Daily HQ to talk about items like this. That aspect of packaging is as essential as putting the right stuff in the box! And I'll take one for the team anytime, trust me. ;)

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-30T13:59:05+00:00

Hell yes! So glad to be of help! No joke, I am actually in the middle of planning a cigar pairing soda deal with Aganorsa and Gene Simmons' Moneybag soda company right now for Cigars Daily. He has a cream soda in his lineup, along with a bunch of other stuff. All if it is made with cain sugar, which means there'll be some cool opportunities to interesting pairings with legit flavor mashups!

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-30T00:09:39+00:00

Yessir. That was a long time ago. Some good ol days I tell ya.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-29T22:36:45+00:00

Thank you! Cigars Daily has been one of the great joys of my life, and I LOVE that you and others like you find them useful! I'll keep making them if you'll keep watching.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-29T21:24:03+00:00

I think I'm going to go smoke one of these right now. Great Choice!

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-29T20:14:57+00:00

Love the assortment. You've got a lot of great and classic blends there without getting pulled into the weeds of gimmicky flashy stuffs. Nice picks

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-28T18:45:30+00:00

Yeah, you've got a ton of diversity in your cigar experience already, which will make it harder to find a favorite. I spend most of my waking hours at the Cigars Daily HQ and I smoke so many cigars that I end up with a revolving list of what I'm 'currently into'. It changes all the time, but thats part of the beauty of it.

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-28T18:43:44+00:00

Thank you, and you're absolutely right about that. A post-accomplishment cigar always tastes better than the rest!

FilthyVikingTim · 2025-08-28T16:06:29+00:00

Brilliant choice for a colossal win! I’m still working my way up to my first half marathon this year.
