You do have awesome calves, Buzz - and the cows ain't so bad either...

Because for me cigars are such a contemplative time, I want to smoke something I know I will enjoy. There's nothing worse in my mind than ruining my evening smoking something that tastes akin to an anchor rope.

Macanoodles... Hmmm... I've tried 'em, but for me they've fallen just slightly above A&C Grenadiers, Backwoods Smokes, Black and Tans, etc...

Not sure about the ash thing - but I do not constantly knock off the ash, nor do I try to see if I can beat any Guiness records. Perhaps others have more definitive data to answer that question.

Welcome!
