The cigar shop

[gargantula99]

There's a good cigar shop / bar on Boylston Street in Boston.

Edit: this is the one.

Apparently they have a location in Providence too, Mike.

What about you Nelson, any cigars you fancy?

[gargantula99]

I like Romeo y Julieta's.

But then again I don't know much about cigars.  I had a Cohiba once. I think they're overrated.

You're paying for the name with a cohiba IMO.
 
Gurkha makes a few really good cigars that I like. The assassin lives up to its name

When I lived in Boston, I went to Gloucester Street Cigar Company because I lived around the corner from there.  There was also another shop I went to every now and then on Boylston and Charles across from the Boston Common.

I've heard mixed reviews of Gurkha.  Some love 'em and some hate 'em.  One of the shops I go to frequently has a Gurkha His Majesty Reserve in their humidor as a display piece.  I'm not sure spending $850 for one cigar is worth it.  I would use that kinda money on something else.

I had a Padrón Family Reserve No. 85 Natural Robusto tonight.  Made it most of the way through, but had to stop because I was getting a nicotine buzz.  I really enjoyed it though.  It started off a bit spicy, but smoothed out quickly.  I've always enjoyed every Padrón 1926 and 1964 Anniversary that I've tried so far.

I had a Nub Connecticut 358 tonight while I was working on my car.  It was a great smoke even though the foot was split slightly due to being stored improperly.

I tried a Nub Cameroon 466BPT tonight.  It started out slightly strong and peppery, but smoothed out fairly quickly.  It just seemed to get better as I kept smoking it.  So far, I've been very happy with the Nub's that I've tried.  I have a selection of 4 different Habanos.  I think I'm going to try one of those next.

I think I will try a Nub next time I go have a smoke. I Was wanting a CAO MX2 the other night, they did not have any so I went with a MX3 Burns 423. It was good except it required constant attention and I had to relight it twice.

[timot_one]

I think I only had to touch up the Nub once last night.  It's a quick smoke though.  It usually lasts about an hour.  Since you like the MX2's, you should try the Nub Maduro 460.

I'll try one this weekend. I'm thinking about going to the burns in my district and getting an acid blondie. Nothing fancy just a quick cigar.

[timot_one]

Meh. I'm not a fan of acids. Those flavored cigars smell like hippy.

[exelr8]

I like them every now and then. That's how I got started smoking cigars.

I was sorely disappointed with the Java Latte I had. That was such a bad experience ill never want another flavored cigar ever again. That Nub last night though. Makes me want another cigar tonight. Good thing I have an assortment of Nubs.

[exelr8]

I will bring you a Tabak especial when I come up, Hopefully it will change your mind. The Java you had, was it dark or light wrapper?

[timot_one]

The Java had a light wrapper.  I'm not sure if I'll be into the Tabak.  I had a Nub Habano tonight and it was good, but now I have a headache.  I still like the Nub Connecticut and the Nub Cameroon the most.
