Villigers vs Marlboro

[Robusto]

That sounds good.
No - I don't speed-smoke, either.

I'll have to look these up. Thanks for the tip.

No chance of the return to the Marlboro option for me, btw.

Usually at a relaxed pace do me for 30 minutes, i don't like speeding my way through a smoke.

How long do they smoke for, Drew?

[Drewmidorn]

Its certainly my quick smoke of choice, still got bags of flavour, although they're not as (forgive the pun) robust as the RASS or D4 they are about 2 million times better than a dry cigar like a villiger. They smoke better. The draw isn't as weedy as a dry cigar and the flavour is great. They smell like a cuban. They don't have the power of a bigger cigar, but sometimes I think the flavor can be a little more interesting if not as "in your face".

I'm not a big fan of re-lighting cigars if they've had a good rest and gone cold to be honest. They just become too tart for me!

Marlboro? if anything it shoudl be Capstan Filterless! lol

I think a box of Ramon Allones small club coronas is the answer.

You'd suggest these as a great short Havana smoke? I've stayed mainly with Robustos - hence the name on here - and know very little about shorter Cuban smokes.

I'm in love with Ramon Allones bigger sticks so am already interested.

Can you say more, please?

I think your problem now that you have a good stock and smoking Cubans more, you are not able to go back to third best...

Its like having sex with a Super model then using a blow up doll when she won't answer the phone anymore!!!!

Dale - I do think of good cigars and good sex in the same part of my brain, so I know exactly what you mean here.

The Villigers ARE down the lift shaft on the quality massage bench, and it becomes a question of classy girl vs slapper when you light up.

Sorry, possums, but it is like that. I've said it before. It's like handcuffs.

I've had a month off from Villigers mostly due to the Kangaroo Flu preventing any chance of a coordinated inhale to mouth-savour-exhale moment. Also my tastebuds were shot away, and my nostrils were cemented in.

Like the other, it's fantastic when you lay off for a while to go back to cigars, and I've enjoyed a few cigars as if they were my favourite meals over the last week or so. Lordee, they keep me a happy man.

I stocked up before Christmas and have a nice humi-stash of quality Havanas.

At the weekend, I bought five Villagers from the Petrol Station and have had a couple on the drive-ins and -outs to gigs on Saturday and Sunday nights. They have - I am sure - knackered my throat. I can feel a check in my voice and have been clearing that catch all day.

I have to say they did taste ropey. I've 'got by' with them many a time, but I think I'm going to cut them out. I always say a cigar reminded me of a King Edward when what I really mean is a cigar tasted shit. Well... my Villagers definitely had that 'additive' taste of a King Edward.

What I'd have to do for a gig 25 miles away is to light up in the car on the way there, save the stick and light up on the way home. If I ever do that, I never leave it too long and I quite like to re-light a cigar and make it live again, even if the re-light tastes weird at first. I find once you get past that bizarre bit on the re-light, the stick goes back to normal.

I dunno. What's the solution if you can only enjoy a Havana in your car some days because of your routine?

Is it to keep 20 Marlboro in the glove box?

Will anyone admit to doing this?
