Arturo Fuentes Chateau Double Maduro, inexpensive with good flavor $10-14 a stick depending on where you buy them.

Did you say inexpensive?

I thought the same thing.

My go to "cheap" cigars are Liga Privada #9's (~$15) and Padron 3000 (~$10) series of cigars. Though I do not smoke cigars often so I generally keep nicer stuff on hand like yellow label cohibas and Opus X's

I am down to about 2 per day from 4-5 a day...

I too have been reducing my count.... It's a lot easier to do when it's below zero outside. When the summer is here, or especially the fall, keeping the count down is a bit more challenging!

Whenever I can find them at a "decent" price, the selection of choice is Padron 7000 Maduro. I've tried a wide variety, but this is the one I always end up keeping an eye out for.

Lighting the fire on some McClelland Brindle Flake. It's a partially rubbed flake of different Virginias, all flue cured. I highly recommend it to a Virginia smoker or one who likes to mix things up a bit and wants a really good selection. McClelland is very selective, and I'm always pleased with the quality of their tobacco.

I second that! By far my favorite blend even though the red Virginia has disappeared. Glad I hoarded while I could!

Yeah, talk about sad news. The upside is that the tinned blends are safe for now, but the bulk stuff is disappearing fast. But I don't know how much longer the tinned stuff will still be made. Glad you're stocked up!

I had a warning and bought as much 40th Anniversary as I could. I wonder what it means for McCraney’s Red Ribbon since it’s long been speculated that McClelland blended it. Hopefully the Ratray blends will still be around for my red Virginia fix!

Mmmm. I’ve been smoking Da Vinci (aged in Chianti barrels) in my new Caminetto. What a great snow day!

A while back, I won an auction on Cigarbid.com. I got 10 CAO flavored Moontrace shipped for $11. So I'm out in the garage having one. Not bad at all. The flavor is very light, maybe a hint of vanilla. For a buck, I think I did ok.

Funny you mention CAO. I have a Brazilia lit up right now.

I'm waiting on the warmer weather to have another R&J Viejo. Those take time to smoke and my garage ain't heated.

I have a HEPA filter in my office, so I smoke in here...

So what's a good pipe? Leisurely speaking of course.

It all depends on a few things. If you have some money to spend and want something really really quality my friend Wayne Teipen (who lives in Indiana and is a gun owner - endearing) hand makes pipes that smoke like nothing I’ve ever seen. It all really comes down to the engineering of the airways. How much info do you want on this before I go down the rabbit hole? If you don’t want too much info, let me know your price range and I can make some recommendations...

Smoked cigars and pipes when drinking whiskey in the summer. Ended up mainly smoking pipes. Captain black or nightcap before bed

I have some decent briars, but I smoke a cob more than anything. They really do deliver a clean smoke that is true to the flavor of the tobacco. Missouri Meerschaum is a great American company, and you can pick one up for $15 or less.

They don't beat the aesthetic of a nice briar, but they do smoke well.


Happy International Pipe Smoking Day!
