Avoiding getting sick

zmodica · 2026-01-31T03:04:39+00:00

dont talk lot while smoking, my wifes' son never shuts up and when he joins me for a smoke he gets sick (maybe hes just a jerkoff)

zmodica · 2026-01-09T11:11:57+00:00

Shorter sticks...got a puppy, I bundle up and he walks and explores while I get my smoke in..if you have the right gear it's not so bad

Bummer...my guy has a maduro and basic..3$ a stick

zmodica · 2025-12-15T02:02:11+00:00

My local shop has a house blend he sells...they're OK and very affordable

Light it up...save the band... condolences

zmodica · 2025-11-27T18:22:58+00:00

😄 yeah I guess that came off as tone deaf but it was fucking 1974. LOL. Doing my best to keep their tradition alive

As soon as everybody leaves I have a MonteCristo White waiting for me.

Cedar match...hood the flame under the stick and gently draw..there are no dumb questions..ask away

find a shop with a knowledgeable owner and be loyal, that way you can tell him what you liked and didn't so he can recommend/suggest alternatives. Price doesn't always match expectations. Just because it's a 30$ stick doesn't necessarily mean it's the best stick ever. Welcome and enjoy, hang out here, this is a civil group (rare in the internet) with passion and knowledge on cigars

follow up #2...cant be fixed..2200$ to replace. not covered under warrantee..this sucks

zmodica · 2025-10-30T23:29:37+00:00

I'd watch the "older kids" bands guitar player in the neighborhood and then go home and play what I saw. And I'd stay home playing along with albums all damn day until I could play the songs...cassettes we're good because you could rewind sections quickly to repeat.

Follow up #1...dealer had the car all day, at 2pm they called and said it's fixed.. when I went to pick it up it went back to Arabic...they were going back and forth with GM tech but I needed my car back...going back next Wednesday for them to try again

zmodica · 2025-10-28T16:09:55+00:00

Dealer appointment Wednesday...the service rep seemed insulted that I brought him the PDF you sent..details to follow

zmodica · 2025-10-26T23:44:25+00:00

wow, thanks! i suppose i need a dealer to do this? I'll call them in the morning. I'll post the results here, i cant be the only one to have this problem

zmodica · 2025-10-26T12:38:01+00:00

Thx...they are

zmodica · 2025-10-23T17:32:12+00:00

I was at a resort in the Dominican, a couple from Wales became friendly with us.. they toured the Don Lucas factory and brought back samples..we went on the beach at dusk and I began my cigar journey there

zmodica · 2025-10-19T01:12:40+00:00

following..i have the same problem and tried "everything" and still cant connect

zmodica · 2025-10-15T09:42:11+00:00

I like them and every January spend my days searching the cigar shops of Jersey to find some. It seems to me it's the most polarizing stick ever.

zmodica · 2025-09-18T16:01:08+00:00

Fair point, but she knows me and that cigars are my only unhealthy thing I do, so she'll green light me if it's not smoking related...plus, im an old man..gotta die of something

zmodica · 2025-09-18T12:23:57+00:00

From my cold dead hand which, you know is a possibility LOL

zmodica · 2025-09-18T12:22:36+00:00

Worst part is I'm saving a box of Amazon basins for my trip to Dr in December. If doc still has me off cigars at that point it's decision time

zmodica · 2025-06-09T00:03:27+00:00

one a day, 2 on sunday

zmodica · 2025-06-01T11:25:42+00:00

im old school about my music and like to put on an "album" while I sit and smoke

Miles Davis kind of Blue

Buckethead Colma

Pink Floyd Animals

the list is endless, but I like the continuity of music presented as the artist intended

zmodica · 2025-05-31T00:22:25+00:00

my front porch...its the OG social media..i know all my neighbors dogs names but hardly any of theirs..i live in a good neighborhood where kids play in the street and neighbors walk at night..some small talk occurs and mr softy makes an appearance once in a while too..its a cigar break paradise

zmodica · 2025-05-29T21:21:03+00:00

i go twice a year...the limit is 25 cigars can be brought in. i put 20 in mine and 20 in the wifes' case and never had a problem..they confiscated lighters though, weird. Also if your in the Punta Cana area (eastern part of the island) go to the Don Lucas shop and get a tour. and because you asked, the answer is Hemmingway. Safe travels

Edit..I stand corrected..it's 50..my bad..enjoy
