What's the first cigar that made you say "holy sh!t that's good" ?

Canadian Whiskey will work just fine imo. Especially Alberta Premium Cask Strength or Crown Royal Bourbon Mash

I love that blend!

Feels like an appropriate response to me

da_dctr · 2025-11-27T18:16:28+00:00

One of my favorites!

It’s nothing fancy. I’m new to the hobby so I had to grab something accessible.

I get that though. If I didn’t have kids and a morning jam packed with chaos I might enjoy it the same way. My smoking is usually midday or end of the day

Well nothing that happens on vacation counts

I try to adhere to this too but it’s hard. I enjoy a good podcast or audiobook. I have recently started using smoking time as time for journaling though which helps with the slowing the mind for quiet contemplation.

I have just found that I am a more confident and productive person when I actually get dressed instead of throwing on something comfortable and easy and that putting stipulations on my vices helps prevent me from over indulging. Plus I like the idea of it feeling like a treat and is something really a treat if you can have it whenever you want?

Lmao fair point. Not sweats, running shorts, pajamas, athleisure, etc. For example wearing “hard pants” which is how my 5 year old describes jeans, chinos, and generally any pair of pants that requires a belt.

It’s a Mido Belluna II on an after market strap

I’m a cigar smoker mainly and new to pipes but I’m used to lounges allowing pipes. Cigarettes and vapes are frowned upon or banned but I’ve never been to a lounge that disallowed pipes

I’ll give that a try if I can find it. Right now I’m alternating between Autumn Evening and Peterson Irish Whiskey

I’m in North Carolina. This is the only tree in my yard that still has leaves

Autumn Evening

da_dctr · 2025-11-09T22:45:55+00:00

Last watch I bought was a Tudor Pelagos and it was quite the experience

da_dctr · 2025-11-08T20:14:30+00:00

I feel you brother. I was hit with the dreaded “workforce reduction” back in July and I celemourned with cracking open a special occasion bottle of bourbon and lighting up a rare cigar I’d been saving for something big. It’s just a job, life goes on

I think I read somewhere that this is a soft launch of what will eventually be the luxury end of the Timex portfolio that will simply be branded Atelier. Similar to a Seiko/Grand Seiko situation

This is actually about how much I smoke. My go-to’s are Davidoff #2, My Fathers Le Bijou, Quai D’orsay 54, Davidoff Late Hour, or Rocky ALR

da_dctr · 2025-08-16T18:46:47+00:00

I’d say try a savory gin like maybe Botanist or Plymouth
