HA! Marsh Wheeling, there used to be a factory in wheeling, wv.

So funny because i had this braniac idea to start smoking cigars with my grandpa back when i was about 19. He had mentioned that he used to smoke marsh wheelings. SO i went out and bought a whole box for us to share. probabloy cost me like 20 bucks back then.

anyhow, we smoked em all right. it wasnt' easy either. but they are indeed very rustic looking.


Nice gift by the way. good thinking

Try the LFD Cheroot if ye can. :thumbsup:

 

[Swampfox21]

That is a cool idea.

 

[VillageIdiot]

If he is a cigar smoker the LFD Cheroot would be an awesome gift. If not, they would probably turn him green. I believe JR has the Marsh Wheeling.

 

[hdroadglide]

the cheroot is for a seasoned smoker only!!! plus you can probably get 5-10 of the others for the price of one cheroot! that being said, the cheroot is one badass stick!

 

[Soundwave13]

I was gonna say the same thing Moro, but for the reasons HD said, I didn't...

If you can get them (Empire cigars, NC), they are really goood.

Backwoods looks a lot like those as well. My dad and I smoke those terrible things on fishing trips.

 

[Headbanger]

You might buy him something that is good to smoke, not cool to look at.

The marsh wheeling olde style looks dead on, and I am looking to get a bundle, cause im sure he will be smoking them all the time, so the price is good . However if they are a horrible smoke that wouldnt do him much good. Im going to look into the cheroots, being too strong is not gonna scare him off from looking like a hoss lol. and those "terrible backwoods" we have smoked our fair share of those out here :halfgrinwand Im not ashamed to say I dont mind them. Thanks again

 

[Headbanger]

If he is not a regular smoker or can handle the full strength stuff the Cheroots will take his head off. Those are all ligero leaf so they are as full strength as they come.

If you want the real deal, Mr. Eastwood smoked Toscono cigars while he was making his "spaghetti westerns" in Italy.

I think that I've had these and they're not a bad smoke. My Dad brought me some back from a trip to Italy in 2000, and I remember thinking how rustic and "cherooty" they looked. Smoked them all that summer on my back porch in the evenings.

Funny, I'm a Clint Eastwood fan, but I never connected these to the cigars he smoked when he was making those Italian westerns.
