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.

Don't believe all the Marine "we're so great" stuff. I've heard some stories about all those Navy guys on a ship for months at a time.

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.

Yeah, don't believe all that "Marines being great stuff"

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.

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.

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.

Also, the term in the second highlight is "one fell swoop". Look it up; it's interesting and deserves a more thorough explanation than I'm willing to write.

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.

jeez what a bunch of fucking knuckleheads.

Thanks everybody.

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?

**MasterCylinder** · 05-26-2009, 12:09 PM

Carlos Torano Casa Torano from my newb sampler - quite good.

**Irish79** · 05-26-2009, 03:55 PM

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

**COBuckburn** · 05-26-2009, 04:29 PM

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.

**JFellows** · 05-26-2009, 05:53 PM

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.

**slcraiders** · 05-26-2009, 06:35 PM

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!!!

**big bill** · 05-26-2009, 09:34 PM

EL Titan Redemption lancero nice choose DG thanks and also smoked RP Edge maduro

**visinedrip** · 05-27-2009, 12:21 PM

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

**Fuma787** · 05-27-2009, 04:29 PM

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!
