How often do you light up?

[ThroughHisStomach]

Once a week.

It's my day off. I am about 3 deep into a 4 pack of some kind of Belgian blonde ale I picked up.....life is good!

Lucky beggar, I'm at work till 11pm and typing without stimulant assistance unless you count tea.

[searsa1]

Peejay.....I am here all day. Or at least until the alcohol prevents me from typing coherently.

Well I do have a second hand story for the MUWT. It would seem that Nicaragua is somewhat akin to the western US in the the 1840's. It seems that someone close to Jonathan Drew (possibly himself) made this statement and it turned into a name for a cigar line. Don't know for sure but that is what I have heard.

Now that's the sort of anecdotal story we like to read.

[searsa1]

I thought you might say that. We will have to use you as a sounding board for all those weirdly named American cigars like 'My uzi weighs a ton', WTF?

The Toscano Antico is fired cured, I have only tried them and the Leccia Black which I found very pleasant but dont let the smell put you off. If you ever smell one you will get what I mean

That's what I call civilised. Tell me, should I try a Kentucky Smoked cigar?

You Mean the KFC (Kentucky Fire Cured)? I would stay far far away from that. If you are looking for something that tastes like campfire smoke then by all means go ahead. I have had a couple of the KFC and Leccia fire cured. I am more partial to the Leccia myself. The part of Kentucky that I grew up in is more geared to burley tobacco that is air cured and used in cigarette production. Some parts of KY and TN (the next state due south) do a fire and/or flue cured. The fire cured is found mostly in chewing tobacoo. I will give it to DE and Leccia for pushing the bounds of cigar composition, but the fire cured sticks are just not my thing. On a side note....Sam Leccia was associated with Cain and NUB. Here is a picture with yours truly and Sam Leccia and some other guy (my aplogies to the other guy as I have since forgot his name). gallery_15671_1736_1306581.jpg

Go Kentucky!!

We have been a traditional tobacco state and are very friendly towards the product (both taxation and usage). Until about 5 years ago you could walk around the state capital building (inside) smoking!

Go Kentucky!!

At least once a week. Our local B&M has a weekly herf with a different manufacturer/distributor each week. It is held at a local bar as my state has not passed a blanket non smoking law as of yet. Honestly I don't think they ever will.
