What happened to The Great HBT Stogie Thread

[TheDudeLebowski]

Drive for show....Putt for $$$$

Big stick normally stays in my bag..LOL That looks like it could be a local course around here..

Cheers

The big stick was the La Palina Maduro Gordo 6x60 ;-) It's like smoking a tree. Actually not bad except Saturday was suppose to be sunny. It rained on the second nine and sucked up a lot of moisture.

I'm vaca'ing on Cape Cod. It's a nice course. Normally we get these wild blueberry bushes that grow under the trees that are just under a foot tall. They are pretty much a penalty if you come close to them. Wrap around your hozzle and a leaf collector/ball hider. They cleared everything under the trees. Nice vacation course.

I'm on vaca! I'm pulling out #2 Big Stick the TaylorMade all weekend long! Last two days of weather has been great.

Last night in the garage. It's getting a little too warm a little too soon for my liking this year

Those of you who travel with cigars, do you have any advice regarding otherwise unexpected issues?

I have a 3 week vacation coming up in Southeast Asia. Considering bringing a small desktop humidor full of cigars with me as I am unfamiliar with where the local tobacconists are, their selections, cigar availability, and prices.

Not sure if having the humidor in carry-on is a good idea. Not sure if I like the idea of putting it in check-in baggage either.

This is what I use. I'm confident nothing will happen to it in transit when checked. It's bulletproof

 

[GilaMinumBeer]

This is what I use.

I have a similar one. Only holds 5.

I am planning on bringing 20 to 30.

So why did you buy one that was too small?

Ditto on the herfador, 5, 10, 15 or 40 count. Don't use all the foam that comes with them and they will hold more than the listed count.

Too dark now for a good stogie shot, but at least I got here just in time for sunset.

Well, it is a Drew Estate cigar. That alone should tell you it'll be quirky.

Sweetened tip and coffee infused. What did you expect?

Man, I've missed a lot of great posts over the last few weeks. Have not had a cigar for a while but grabbed this out of the humi tonight. Been resting for 6-9 months. I had forgotten how good these are!

At the Friday Night Kool April Nights car parade in front of my store. I was standing on the very top of my truck having a few beers and a few nice cigars. That is an Oliva V Malanio. Yum!!
