ick, I can't hardly stand the heat - but I am planning on enlisting for the Marines later this year, so I suppose there's potential for me to be over there before too terribly long, huh.Quote:

It'll be a good 6 to 9 months of training before you get to the Fleet, so you *might* see the Stan but I don't think you'll see the box.

Had a Nestor last night too

Thanks for the info bigwhiteash. Interesting stuff.Quote:

I'm kicking off the holiday weekend with an Arturo Fuente Hemmingway Classic this evening.
Torano Exodus 1959 maduro last night
Think before you leap soldier. You have to be in the Army to be a Ranger or Delta - the ACTUAL greatest fighting force in the world. Normandy and D-Day, 101st Airborne in France, General Patton in Italy, Air Cav in Vietnam, the special forces in Serbia (The special forces in Somalia an Iraq for the matter.) What do all these have in common? Well none are Marines but that's not the point. The sea-men claim to always be the first in. These are all examples of Army soldiers being the first into a conflict.Quote:

But this is obviously not a competition between military branches. Right now I'm enjoying a Partagas Naturales whiles enjoying the "Battle of the Beltways" on a calm warm spring evening.
Camancho 1962 Torpedo:smiley2:
Gurkha Legend Perfecto:smiley2:

Sancho Panza double maduro,Gurkha Legend (Torp.)
Padron 1964 Imperial
I am certainly open to that, ya see (ok, kind of a segway/story thing here), my grandpa always wanted to keep the line of generations in the military going - his grandpa was, his dad was, him and a couple of his brothers were, one of his sons was and as of yet (and I'm looking like the last one that'll probably go) none of his grandsons have enlisted. I've always thought about enlisting, just never really, really thought it through until now that he's passed away and I feel this is the best way to honor him, as he was the greatest man I've ever met. Also it's likely they'll put his house up for sale, and I just won't let that house leave the family - and I won't be able to put myself through college and buy a house at the same time. So I figured I'd enlist, serve my country, serve my family, buy that house and put myself through college all in one full swoop. And I'd like to think I'd be a good soldier.Quote:

I'm not saying that the other branches are bad, but you certainly don't have the espirit de corps that is in the Marines.
I'll give you a good example. There were some Marines in Ramadi that asked for cigars from the forums that are run by a turd. I shalt not speak his name, but there are those here that know of whom I speak. I was able to confirm where he was and sent him and his Marines a humidor full of cigars with everything needed to keep them and future ones right, and I only asked for one thing in return. Wanna know what that is?
Pictures of him and his Marines enjoying those cigars.
I told my wife what I did, and of course she asked how much I spent. When I told her how much it was, she flipped out on me bigtime. Then I told her it was for some Marines here in Iraq and that's when she said, "Well why didn't you tell me that before? I wouldn't have hollered at you if you'd told me THAT.".

Yesterday afternoon, Montecristo robusto - absolutely delicious. Perfect end to the week (we closed up early yesterday and I was on the course with the partners by 3)
Troya Clasico LIV.......outstanding.
A Turrent ` Robusto with coffee:smiley1:
Will
Yeah, don't believe all that "Marines being great stuff" :smiley13: You obviously don't know Marine Corps history. You're either a little army boy that resents the Marines, or you've heard "stories" from "sailors" that "prove" you know what you're talking about. Either way, why don't you just stick to telling us what you've smoked today. That is the purpose of this particular forum.Quote:

Graycliff Chateau Grand Cru
very nice way to end my vacation.
MTM, You mean "segue". "Segway" is the brand name of the personal transport device used in malls and some LE. That's why the spell check function underlined "segway" and indicated it as a misspelled word.Quote:

Good for you for wanting to do right by your family and your country. It would be cool if you keep future comments regarding your decision on which branch of the military to join confined to another thread, or better, given the feathers already ruffled, confined to PMs.
Thanks and best of luck.
Artyman, I'm only using your post as an example - not picking on anybody in particular. It would be very cool if you military guys (and ex-military) would knock off the dick measuring contest. Especially since, as Artyman came close to stating in his post (bullshit editorializing notwithstanding), this is a thread about what we've smoked today.Quote:

Thanks everybody.
:smiley53:
Partagas Series D No 4
The verdict: :smiley20:
Last night I enjoyed a Gran Habano #5 Connecticut. Great smoke for the price! Not sure what I will puff on in honor of "No Smoke Day", but I will enjoy a nice gar. Hey, why don't we have a "Shut Up Day" for all those who want to regulate my life? :smiley44:
Carlos Torano Casa Torano from my newb sampler - quite good.
I just got back from staying at a house along the Wicomico River in Southern MD and smoked the following:
H. Upmann Corona
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight I
Siglo Limited Reserve X Torpedo
La Gloria Cubana Corona
La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial No. 3
Cohiba Black Corona
I dont smoke everyday. I like to smoke 2-3 times a week. I feel that I get more satisfaction out of a good smoke when I have something to look forward to every couple of days, keeping it to only one or two sticks on the days that I do smoke.
I woke up this morning with the intentions of making it a smoke day with something mild just before noon, then a nice, heavy stronger stick tonight.
Just before noon today......
Aranese Connecticut ~ Corona (5.5x45)
Not bad....this is the first Aranese that I have smoked. I have a feeling that this gar may have not been as good had it not been for the nine months in the humi. I dont know though, never having smoked one until today.
I got this stick nine months ago from a friend in my hometown in California during a HERF/BBQ/Card Game. I figured it was time to smoke it.
Tonight, after a dinner of what my wife calls, "Manly Man Meatloaf". ( A contraption of cheese, egg, onion, sausage, and beef), wich is absolutley excelent, I will smoke a......
Camacho Triple Maduro ~ Torpedo (6.0x54)
This one will be out of a box in the humi that I have had for alittle over a year now. The last time I smoked one was about four months ago. I'm anxious to find out if there will be any difference from the one I smoked four months ago. Guess I will find out in about three more hours.
I've smoked some great cigars recently...over the past week or so:
- WOAM '06
- Hoyo du Roi '99
- Opus RdC
- Oliva O maduro
Tonight I'll be firing up either an Anejo 55 or an LFD DL Chisel. Om nom nom.
Yesterday, I smoked a couple of good smokes-
The new Siglo X Torpedo. This was actually suprisingly good.
Davidoff Millenium Blend Short Robusto. Other than a minor wrapper split (1/8")- this little sucker was simply outstanding!!!
EL Titan Redemption lancero nice choose DG thanks and also smoked RP Edge maduro
Had another Sancho Panza Double Maduro Quixote last night. I absolutely love to pair these with a dark brew. (Shiner Black or Sam Adams Black Lager)
Some have said its a quick 30min smoke although it normally takes me 45 min to an hour. hehe :smiley4:
Smoked a Gurkha Regent Toro last night around 2:00AM. It had been sitting in my humidor since I bought the humidor about a year ago. Wow, was it tasty!:smiley37:
