Enjoying the New Cigars

I picked up a box of the Belmondos early this afternoon and I've been sucking them down ever since..lol. I definitely needed a change and these should do the trick for me for a while. I'll probably be venturing into further uncharted territory next week and try out some new brands. My roommate doesn't mind the smell of the Belmondos as much as she did the Berings, which will be good for her. She smoked one with me and just kind of shrugged when I asked her what she thought. She just can't get into cigars..lol. Anyway, just thought I'd give a little update. Have a nice evening all.

just curious, how many cigars do you smoke a day?

If you can get a hold of them locally, I recommend going with one of the Torano lines. Very good smokes...

Drake, it depends on my schedule for the day. I waitress four nights a week, and on those days I probably smoke 4-5 cigars. On the days when I don't work, I usually smoke like seven. Yesterday, I think I smoked eight. It'll be easier on my pocketbook when classes start again, as my daily consumption will decline.

Honestly, I'm hoping that in time, I'm able to ween myself to a couple a day. Given the profession I plan to go into, it would be in my interest to do so..lol. Right now, cigars are my Marlboro substitute. With a cigar in my mouth, I'm not craving cigarettes, so I tend to keep one in my mouth quite a bit. I'm finding the pastime increasingly enjoyable though, so I could be simply trading in one addictive behavior with another. Only time will tell I guess.

There too many Bevis and Butthead jokes in this thread. Having trouble resisting!!!! Need another target to pick on.

damn, girl. that's a lot! smoking that many, you probably should stick to the cheaper ones. if you start to like the good stuff, that could turn into a very expensive habbit. :smiley2:

Drake, I don't disagree. The money's coming in pretty good right now so I can afford to experiment with some higher-quality cigars. Sooner or later though, something will have to give. Either I'll have to smoke less or buy cheaper cigars. Fall semester should help with the smoking less part, but until then it's gonna be the "summer of cigar" for me. :smiley36:

well at least we will have someone who gets throat or mouth cancer(in two weeks lol) before any of us and we can see what we have to look forward to possibly lol jmwy amanda . . . that IS a frickin lot though damn

dude, she's young. let her live.

and amanda, by all means, try some good ones. :smiley20:

Didn't you say you either used to smoke cig's or still do? If so, I think you may be trying to smoke cigars like cigarettes. 7 to 8 50 ring 6" cigars would consume about 10 hours of your day the way most people smoke them.

If you take your time and draw slowly on the gar it will be a much more satisfying experience. I like to smoke 48-52 ring gauge by 5.5-7" gars they last anywhere from 45 minute to an hour and a half. If you a sucking them down like cigs to get the nicotine crack in the head, just switch back to cigs, It's cheaper. I think, the question was asked not to long ago on this board "how many cigars do you smoke in a day?" I think, the average was about 3 or 4. That average is by some very experienced cigar smokers some more than 10 years. :smiley37:

Cigar smoking for most people is not about the nicotine or an addiction. It's more about the flavor, the hobbie & the comraderie. I think most botl will probably agree. Just ease up a bit and it will come to you. :smiley2:

Who was it that had the hot chick smoking a cigar as an avatar and had some werido PM them a couple months back?

:smiley16:

Thanks for the "bomb" offers, but as Hex said, I'm a little uncomfortable giving out my personal address this quickly. Maybe in time, I'll put my guard down and start trusting you guys...at my own peril of course. :smiley2:

I don't deny that I started cigars as a substitute for cigarettes, and still kind of use them as a crutch. They're helpful because for me the addiction is probably more about the act of smoking than the actual nicotine, and cigars give me the tobacco to puff on without the need to inhale every puff (I only rarely inhale cigars...if I inhaled every puff, I'd probably be in the emergency room..lol). Yesterday was a highwater mark with the eight cigars. Today, I'll probably only smoke three because I'll be working from 4 to 10. At you guys' word, I'll try to behave tomorrow when I'm not working and not smoke so many. At the same time, I don't need an excuse to pick up more than a couple cigarettes a day..lol. Anyway, have a great evening all.

Grand Cru 2 has the hot chick avatar. That smart ass Spencer thought Ray was a chick and made a pass as him.

Come to think of it...Ray would look really hot in a short dress. :smiley2:

You could give us the address of a mailbox ect. or someplace like this to send them to! I would be willing to drop a few into the mail for ya! Or maybe the address of a male friend who could accept them for you.

I said that too, Ken... You and I also understand her suspicions, though... There are creeps lurking around the cigar boards... :smiley6:


That means - don't give Scotty your address... He smokes dog rockets and thinks they're great! ...and you don't want any of those... :smiley37:

you can have them sent to me and i will tell you how they were

Aw, Ken, you're so sweet. :smiley27: Finally, someone who appreciates my legs! :smiley36:

<censored due to joking with intent of bomb acquisition>

ooops....deleted for reasons of not intending to start off my stay here on a bad note....was being facetious about getting bombed....didn't realize how much of a stigma went along with that....already got a few PM's about it, so thought i'd remove it....oh well, live and learn i guess....i definitely have have a particular taste for cigars already, but also know that i still have a lot to learn and am a COMPLETE newbie on this board....Thanks to everyone who PMed me with the advice...didn't mean to step on toes....look forward to learning my way around on this board....later all

Hey I wouldn't mind a few either. I'm currently trying out different brands to see what I like so any extras you got just dump on me. :smiley31: :smiley4: :smiley31:

Guys just to let you know it is bad form to ask to be Bombed.(even joking) The more you interact in the site and don't do anything stupid.(think before you post) the more likely someone will call you friend.

for the sake of learning and all that good stuff . . . please explain?

<<<newber

A bomb is a gift package of cigars. This could be one or two sticks to a lot of sticks. They could be expensive sticks or value sticks. Price and number of sticks doesn't matter. Don't send Dog Rockets. If the sticks sucks and you know it then don't send it unless the person said at some time they wanted to try it.

Also never post what you got. You don't do this for a few reasons. One how deep everyone's pockets are is different from person to person. Two this opens up mooching to low life's. Some BOTL's remove their address because word gets out that they Bomb well and while you do not need to bomb back most BOTL's do.

Never Ever expect something back. It is a gift not a trade.

Don't ask to be bombed. That's MOOCHING! Don't do it! If another BOTL's takes a liking to you they might do it then again you might never get bombed. Lifes hard learn to live with it.

Sending a bomb to get bombed back is MOOCHING! Don't do it!

I like everyone else enjoy finding surprise in the mail, but I also enjoy sending out surprises and the sending part I find to be more fun because I'm in control.

If you are lucky and get bombed make sure you thank the sender with a pm. It's good form.


This is the most importing thing:


Remember Bombing is about giving not receiving! That's why it's called bombing and not getting bombed.

where does the trading of addresses come in to play if bombing is not to be mentioned/talked about

It's not that bombing isn't suppose to be talked about. It's you shouldn't be asking to be bombed.


As for address you put them in your profile. Find a spot for them and if someone likes you they will look for the address and send off a care package.

i take it you meant shouldnt . . .

my home address in my online profile? you sure thats kosher with spyders and what are those things called. . . . the people who search websites for that info??

That's fine. There a lot of others who have their addresses listed and haven't had problems for years.

I need to stop answering question. The others might remove my NooB status. :smiley2:

Ask away I'm always willing to help another BOTL/SOTL if I can. I was joking about my status. They would never do that. :smiley8:

thanks, 'ppreciate it
