Title: The Cigar and Scotch Thread
Post by: mussa on April 21, 2006, 01:51:53 PM
I've been meaning to start this thread since I started getting into cigars, but never got around to it.  I love cigars.  I love the dark, spicy, heavy bodied maduros and a nice single malt scotch.  Taking a deep pull, exhaling and then complimenting that drag with a sip of a fine scotch. I like the smell, I like the taste. I think rolling cigars is an art form itself. I find it extremely sexy when my girl takes a puff off my cigar(perverts).  I prefer a cigar punch over a cutter.  Cigars and scotch are slowly becoming an expensive addiction of mine and I wanted to see if any of you, being highly remarkable gentleman with fine tastes, like to dabble in the cigar/scotch world.

I have taken the time to search for a few of my favorite cigars and provide images for all you scholars, so you may be enlightened and might want to try one or two.  I hope by starting this thread you will all try a cigar and some scotch at one point in your life and say hey, that mussa guy was right for once.  I also hope you all become addicted and die of cancer.   ;)

Might as well start with the best Ive ever had. Straight from Cuba. COHIBA. A co-worker was given one by a client of his as a tip. He passed one onto me one time.  I smoke it til my hands were burning.  A great heavy bodied cigar that I could probably smoke 24hrs a day, even in my sleep.  I highly recommend this cigar if you can get your hands on it.  If you ever go out of the country, ask for it. Your gonna pay alot, but its worth it.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/Feat-cohiba-Sm.jpg)
The legal COHIBA. Made in the Dominican Republic.  Very heavy. So heavy that when combined with a good scotch can literally farg u up.  By heavy I don't mean harsh.  Very spicy, very flavorfull.  Around $12-$15 a stick. 

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/maisti_ashton_vsg_robusto.jpg)
A new discovery of mine is the Ashton Virgin Sun Grown or VSG.  A very smooth heavy bodied cigar.  Highly recommended.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/AFUENTE_HWAY.jpg)
Arturo Fuente, Short Story.  A nice smoke for when you don't have all night to smoke a cigar. Medium to heavy bodied. Tasty.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/rockypatelvintage90.jpg)
Rocky Patel Vintage Series.  Aged 10 and 12 year cigars.  THere is just something good about the idea of this cigar being aged in a humidor for a few years. Like a wine and scotch.  I like the box pressed presentation.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/SLR-Reserva-Especial-6.jpg)
Saint Luis Rey. A great cigar at a great price. $3 range.  All different sizes.  Thats not my hand.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/hupmannvincam.jpg)
H Upmann Vintage Cameroon Series.  Highly rated in CIGAR Magazine.  Definelty a good smoke at a reasonable price.

As for Scotch/Whiskeys

I am not so educated on the drink side of this thread, but these are a few I have tried since smoking cigars.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/largebottle.jpg)
I saw this at the liquor store and had to try it.  Not the best I have had, but still good.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/glenlivet_b.jpg)
Definetly the smoothest tasting out of these 4. 

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/Glenfiddich-SOR.gif)
Glenfiddich.  Definetly will buy again.

(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/chivas_regal.jpg)
Always a good choice.

my problem is these guys have their corny little case...and they talk about which one they want to have this week and have their stupid little cutters...the whole thing is wack...just grab a cigar and smoke it for christ sake...

its similar to how a lot of people get with wine...just drink it motherfargers...get drunk!

i like cigars on a rare occasion.

but it's not something i intend to take on more fully.

i do like good scotch though. i dont restrict myself to single malts. but some of the ones i tried and liked were the same glenlivet shown above...but you should try the 15 year glenlivet, good stuff...i am not a big fan of glenfiddich though.

i really like johnny walker green bottle (15 year)...i intend on trying the gold soon (18 year)

i got a bottle of JW Blue the night before my wedding....and NO ONE is to ever touch that but me. that is for me and me only....i will only drink from it once a year, 1 oz, on each wedding anniversary. but the stuff is absolutley amazing. (for $190 a bottle it better be).

i've had cigars and smoked tobacco from a pipe, but i had a hard time dealing with the whole "don't inhale" thing.  I can appreciate it, but can't stand when people smoke pipes in bars because it's so damn overpowering and pungent.

As for scotch, i'm not a huge fan.  I'll do a shot of Makers Mark anyday, but once tried scotch on the rocks and it was painful getting through.

The problem is cheap and common scotch tastes like something you'd strip paint with.  And, sorry, Mussa, but what you have pictured is swill.  You have to spend at least $50, more like 70-80, to get anything drinkable.  And as much as I like scotch (Oban and  Lagavulin are my favorites), I buy it rarely due to the price and the fact that I drink it sparingly, and it skunks after you open it.

Makers Mark is most definitely whiskey.  I was just saying i enjoy a shot of that, but don't care for scotch.

Post by: mussa on April 21, 2006, 04:14:26 PM
As I mentioned, im not too educated on scotch i just started. especially fine scotch. these are the relatively cheap one's i can afford(swill if you will) and still go great with a cigar.  now i will spend 20$ on one cigar, but 100 and up per bottle is rare. 

They have King Louis something something scotch or cognac, at this local bar. $140 a glass. Im on that someday.

I tried some of the Highland variety, and I found it a bit medicinal. I found I like the special finishes like the Balvenie and the Glenmorangie. The Macallan is also pretty good, because they finish in sherry casks (I think).

Are u talking about saliva or actual pieces of tobacco from the cigar.  i don't ccare who you are if your smoking anything, your going to get some saliva build-up.  thats why it is nice to have a drink when you smoke.  i smoke cigs, but i need some sort of drink when i smoke.  If you have prob's with actual pieces of the tobacco in your mouth, then maybe try a cigar punch over a cigar cutter:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v101/ananumuss/cutter_bullet.jpg)
Yes normally you don't want to inhale cigar tobacco.  unless your chuck norris of course. just draw it in and exhale. ur doing it right HB.   :paranoid
Title: Re: The Cigar and Scotch Thread
Post by: Phillyiggles_fan on April 22, 2006, 07:37:23 PM
I agree completely on the cigar punch over cutter, but I think the dominican cigars are rapidly catching up to Havana, and much of the pleasure of the Cuban cigars is their illicit embargoed nature. >:D

Actually smoked a few of the Havana Cohibas in Tulum Mexico a couple of weeks ago. Damn good.

Anyway, for scotch try Laphroaig scotch, the ten year is relatively affordable and very tasty if you like smoky and peaty.  Stay away from the sherry cask stuff, if you ask me, but to each his or her own.

For highlands I like Dalwhinnie scotch. More clean and better on the rocks, than neat with a water back which is how I prefer the Island (Islay) malts. Just IMHO.

One thing to be aware of about Johnnie Walker, they own several of the single malt distillers and others sell their extra whiskey to them. 

So when you are drinking the JW red or black you are drinking different grades of leftover single malts mixed together which brings forth consistency but not the uniqueness of single malts. 

A similar practice occurs with big wineries.  They buy extra grapes from the smaller vineyards to blend into their wine.

I've always been partial to the Montecristo line of smokes.

Although of late I find that I'm getting a bit tired of milder cigars and I've started smoking some of the full strength variety.

TTT Mini-Belicosos are my cigar of choice at the moment and right now I have some Camacho Monarcas resting in the humidor.  I'm looking forward to lighting up one of the Camachos.  I hear they pack a good punch.

If you guys are interested you should try web sites like Cigar Bid or Cigar Auctioneer.

If you hit it just right you can get some outstanding bargains.  For example I won a 3 pack of the above mentioned TTT's for only $13 (those smokes usually retail for @ $8-$9 each)

Also, if anyone is interested I can post some links to the Altadis web page where they offer up some of their cigars (Maria Guerrero, Gispert, and RyJ) in sample packs at below bargain prices.

There is a great place in Lancaster, PA, right near the outlets called Ray's Tobacco Cafe.  They have a great selection in cigars, gourmet coffee's and a really nice smoking lounge.  I just took a drive over there and found some cigars Ive been dying to try.

I got a Padron Anniversary Series 1964 Maduro for 17 a stick.  Its a beautiful boxed pressed cigar.  Rated in the upper mid to upper 90's.  Ive been told this is better than any Cuban.  Can't wait to smoke it. 

I also got 2 Camacho Coyola's. A new full-bodied cigar from Camacho.  An Ashton Heritage Puro Sol and a Romeo Y Julieta Aniversaro Maduro.  :drool

Right next door is a cool store called Sam's Steins, which has alot of cool beer steins, signs, mirrors and anything else a beer logo has ever been put on.  Def. check them both out if you are ever in the outlets area.  :yay

Post by: mussa on September 15, 2006, 04:29:09 PM
Just wanted to bump this thread up with a new interest in Port wine. Anyone else try it with a cigar or solo? Ive dabbled in a few different varieties after reading about it so much in cigar magazines.  It pretty potent compared to normal wine, but not nearly the punch you get from scotch. I've tried a cheapy bottle, which seems to be bitier than the 10yr aged Tawny's I like. Alot smoother.

A great new cigar I tried recently is the Excalibur from Hoya De Monterrey. A classic in the heavy bodied cigars, very spicey, couldn't get enough of this smoke. There are a number of different Excaliburs, I couldn't find a pic of the one I had.

Yea Murp turned me onto Talisker, prob best Ive tried to date with scotch. They were selling a litre of Talisker for 50 bucks at the duty free shop coming back from canada. I kicked myself later for not buying it at such a cheap price.

 I had 10 Cubans I bought when I was overseas that I had completely forgot about. A few months ago I came across them but they were dried out. My old roommate gave me a humidor and now they're good again. Just wanted to share my excitement.

Also, the g/f bought me a bottle of 12 year old Dewars. I highly recommend it if you like Scotch.

FYI Scotch is the same exact thing as Whiskey, it's just made in Scotland. (read through this thread and it didn't look like that was general knowledge)

Cigars are for sissies with questionable oral fetishes and scotch is for queers who are afraid to drink beer because they might get fat.

That is all.

That is incredibly innacurate.

Scotch Whisky, is no where near the same as Whiskey.

Title: Re: The Cigar and Scotch Thread
Post by: Diomedes on February 03, 2007, 06:51:11 PM
it's alright.  it's a blended scotch (rather than single malt, which is from one distillery only.  single malts are very distinct because they are not tempered in any way..if it's a very peaty scotch, then you get peat full on, for example).  the red is 3 years aged, black is 12 (I think), gold is 18, green and blue are blends which include much older stock (but also some fairly young)

give it away, you'll make a friend.

Wingpan is wrong, by the way.  the only diff. between scotch and irish whiskey is where it's from.  now, there is a lot of difference between the grain grown in ireland and in scotland, etc...but whisky is whiskey is whiskey.  they spell it different, and get pissy about it, but farg them.

scotch is like champagne, cognac, or bourbon...you can make the same shtein but if you do it outside of champagne, cognac, etc, then it's not champagne/scotch/cognac.  sparkling wine is essentially champagne..but it doesn't have the restrictions on quality that hte champagne region enforces (percentage of grapes from each harvest allowed to be used, etc.)

I'm in the wine & spirits trade, know a little bit.

can't stand brown spirits myself.

Sorry, wrong. Despite the difference ou pointed out yourself. There are other differences too.

The distilling process is different, as well as the ingredients are prepared differenty. For Scotch Whisky, the barley is dried over a peat fire to add the smoke flavor. Irish Whiskey barley is dried in a sealed oven to keep the barley pure.

Also there is a difference of smoothness. Irish Whiskey is distilled 3 times, Scotch Whisky is distilled twice.

IGY,  give it a try.  I drink JW Red during the week to cut down on beers.  Got my first bottle of Black for Christmas this year, and i've only had one drink out of it.  The 1.75liter of the JW Black is about 62-65 bucks, same size in Red is 29-32 clams depending on what shop.

I bought myself another bottle of 7 for the Super Bowl.  Also, 7UP was $0.77 for a 2-Liter at the grocery store.

I predict all 3 2-Liters and the whole 750ml of 7 will be toast by Monday morning.


Is Seagram's 7 scotch?  No, but it's farging tasty when mixed with a carbonated lemon-lime beverage.

Pretentious snobs sitting around dissecting the differences between Cuban cigars and those made in Honduras can all choke to death on the dicks of AIDS-infested pole squatters.

Same goes for the jagoffs pissing and moaning about 12-year old scotch variants.

Seriously, kill yourselves slowly with razor sharp meat cleavers, the lot of you.

It's not an arguement, its a fact.

A better argument would be like distinguishing the differences between a Toyota Camry or a Chevy Malibu. But go ahead, make another snide comment to hide the fact that you were wrong, depsite working in the industry.

If the point is that there is a difference between a Toyota Camry and a Chevy Malibu, then yes I'm wrong.
But that wasn't the subject.  We were discussing the difference between a mid size sedan and a mini van. 

If the point is that there is a difference between bud lite and miller lite, then yes I'm wrong.
But that wasn't the subject.  We were discussing the difference between lite mass beer and stouts.

to vigy and 95% of the world, the distinctions you make are trivial....for whiskey snobs alone.  scotch whiskey is a whiskey.  just as irish whiskey is a whiskey, etc.

You guys can bitch all you want about cigars or scotch and associate them with Romes.  Thats pretty damn funny, because real men have been enjoying both for hundreds of years. You peions can consume all the malt liquor and garcia vega's you want, I'll stick to Talisker and Fuentes'.

While I agree that Dan Snyder is an idiot, I don't understand why you feel the need to roll out such idiotic stereotypes to reinforce those sentiments.

If you're upset about being grouped with a bunch of rapacious douchebags, then maybe you should consider not associating with them or at least not associating with the worst of the character traits?

Wow bumping this thread made me laugh and miss the ol days when IGY didn't quote, but bold posts. and what the hell ever happened to Mad-Lad???

Anyway I came home today and got a package from UPS. Inside was a Cuban Cohiba. A buddy I haven't seen in years sent it to me. Last time I saw him about 3 years ago we stayed up all night drinking scotch and smoking cigars. He said he had the hookup in NYC for Cubans. Surprised the hell out of me. I'm gonna smoke that baby tonight and enjoy a glass or 3 of Talisker.
