With the recent purchase of a Big Ben 120 Humidor her at CBID, and the attainment of numerous outstanding box values, I can honestly say, with a smile, that I'm officially hooked on fine cigars!!

My good friend and high school classmate, Rocky, from indian Tabac fame, introduced me to the pleasures of cigars some 7 years ago, but not until recently have I truly captured the pleasures and satisfaction of fine sticks!!

Now I know how guys like rush Limbaugh, sans his recent troubles with , can be such adamant and passionate connoisseurs of fine cigars.

Cheers to my cigar brethren!!

I absolutely did not know that Rush was a cigar smoker. Random..

He actually talks abaout them often during his show, usually as he is lighting one up!!

Forgot to complete my sentence...sans his recent troubles with pain killers.

If Rush,
Completes treatment, and is able to stay off the drugs, I will gain a huge amount of respect for him.

P.S.The 2 things that I have in common with Rush; addiction, and the Love Of Cigars.

By the way DD,
What is your favorite cigar so far?? I'd have to saY THE pam64 Maduro, but I also love the CAO Brazilia, but Perdomo reserve Mad., has a place in my heart, as well as Inian Tabac super fuerte Mad. I can add Joya de Nic. Antono 1970's to the list, Olivia-O, Torano signature too. I'd go on with my list of favorite cigars, aww what the Hell. A.Fuentes, all types, Perdomo Fresh wheels, Love the taste of Maduro, and the spice of Cameroon. Great fillers from dominican, and binders from Home. I love the texture and the heft, but the smoke I love the best. But the greatest part of hand rolled cigars, anr the Brothers Of The Leaf.
Welcome to the Brotherhood.

P.S. Sorry if I got longwinded. LOL

Maybe a bit breezy there Dave, but damn well said!

...cigman

i thing rush was firing up blunts not cigars

think

Go to CA and read his interview under "people" I believe it is.

Hee is the link to the Limbaugh interview in CA...

http://www.cigaraficionado.com/Cigar/CA_Profiles/People_Profile/0,2540,18,00.html 

It looks to be an older interview though, as the pictures of him are when he was much heavier than he is now...he weighed over 350 lbs.at his heaviest; he has dropped down to near 200 lbs at his "sveltest".

Article looks to be from post-1993 (94-95)...


"The day had begun about 12 hours earlier as Limbaugh lifted his 43-year-old, 270-pound body (one caller to his show, jokingly trying to be politically correct, will refer to him that day as "horizontally gifted'') out of the bed in his modest, two-bedroom apartment on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The apartment is not in keeping with the image of someone whose 1993 income has been estimated at between $15 million and $20 million, but the chauffeured Lincoln Town Car he will take to work is.

I tend to buy the "cheapies", and quite honestly, I've liked every one so far.

FWIW, a buddy of mine is a Brewmaster here in Milwaukee at a place called Water Street Brewery. He makes the best Oktoberfest I've ever tasted...a great beer to go with a fine premium stick!!

Hey DoubleD,
If you go with the cheapies, let me recomend, Perdomo Fresh rolled wheels. They are usually at a good price, and if you have the patience to let them rest for about 6 months, they are a very nice smoke, as well.
