SFR Cigars 101

[kmudgn]

Personally, I am a pipe guy. I actually only smoke when fishing as the fumes keep the biting bugs at bay (mostly). Although I have some expensive pipes which I inherited from my uncle, I use corn cob pipes on the river. On occasion, one will jump into the water so the loss is not a big deal. Pipe tobacco is also much cheaper (on a puff-to-puff basis) than cigars.
As is often said, "a pipe gives a wise man time to think and a fool just something to stick in his mouth". I am usure of which category I fall.

This is what I've used for several years. I don't think they're readily available. Might find one on the site of the great, unwashed masses.

Some of my favorites, and very well priced at Rain City Cigars in Bellevue!

It is just part of the tradition. Left over habit from the late '60's.....
And you just need to set the protocol: no cigar until you have it figured out: the chinook landed; arriving at your favorite pool right before dusk; getting the depth and color right on a mid hatch. Earn those puffs.
Get a butane lighter, cutter of choice, a draw poker is useful, Connecticut wrappers and a mild filler to start out, Maduro's will grow hair on your tongue, larger ring sizes are cooler smoking, stop at about an inch left, that is where the mouth army boot maneuvers' come from. Be careful if you have flammable pants or are in an inflated floaty thingy. Expect to miss fish when lit.......
And of course, an appropriate ashtray. (USS Trout as below!)



Tight lines, Ron

Step 1: Get hammered
Step 2: Get more hammered
Step 3: Accept a cigar against what would have been your better judgment had you not done Steps 1 and 2
Step 4: Smoke the whole thing
Step 5: Taste ashtray in your mouth for five or six days
Step 6: Swear off cigars forevermore
Step 7: Return to Step 1

I love the ritual of smoking, but I think I lack the constitution. Or am a pussy, in the parlance of this thread.

I really want to like cigars but this is always the problem I have. I swore them off again last time I was hunting in NE Oregon and my mouth tasted like I'd saved all the ash from the cigar and just chewed on it the morning after. Is there a solution or is it "Just suck it up and enjoy your hangover and ashtray mouth n00b"

I’m finding the answer is “some 3 Nuns tobacco and a nice meerschaum churchwarden pipe”.

I am a huge puss. I have gone into places in the past and never come out well. If there is a cigar that will taste like grape or strawberry that be awesome

Strawberry or Grape? - go get a vape (pen).

From the knife thread;

 

[JimTravers¤£a!!Travers]

At the sign areas in front of the stadium entrances there tends to be many half burned cigars. It's from the guys trying to get in smokin cigars!!!! There's always several guys just standing there waiting for someone to leave a half smoked cigar on the sidewalk by the GARBAGE CAN si they can come up and SMOKE it.

I recently went into the doctor for my first physical in years. He asked me if I smoked and I said no but I do vape, “So that’s a no for smoking, and a no for sexual activity.”
