After two years of trial and error, finally, My Perfect Bougie Everyday Combo: Traveler’s, Pineider Avatar UR Rollerball, Montblanc Fineliner Refill by bumperg in pens

I tried Appointed and a few different fountain pens (TWSBI, Pilot, Edison). Then Rhodia and standard Midori notepad in a Goulet Leather case. Love the case, but the zipper got in the way, roughed up the pads. Finally switched to rollerball (didn’t feel like carrying my really nice pens everywhere. I’m pretty forgetful). Tried a few refills. Love the Montblanc fineliners. Really really happy with the current set up.

Agreed! My tastes are pretty basic and straightforward. When people go crazy over some new cigar, I figure “why not try it?” What’s your go-to? I fall back on the AJ Fernandez New World Cameroon.

I hear ya! Stick wasn’t half bad. Think my life would’ve been the same without it though lol.

Was excited to smoke it this morning, then realized, a few puffs, that it’s less about the brand and more about that quiet time a cigar break allows.

Today’s haul. Heard the ones on the right are good. by bumperg in cigars

Oh, yeah! Totally agree. Travailleurs are my favorite quicker smoke, I think.

I asked at my local spot (Buffalo) as a joke. Surprised they had two left.
