Hello all! My name is Zdenko (I go by Z). I live in the Seattle area (eastside or if you are familiar with the area, Sammamish). Been smoking cigars about 15/16 years. I usually only get to smoke in the good weather months. Not nearly as often as I'd like. There is a new casino near me that has a lounge but their ventilation is not very good so I don't frequent there too often.
I took a short break from smoking a few years ago. I bought a motorcycle (Triumph America = cruiser) so that took up all my free time. Oddly enough it was my nephew who got me back into enjoying my cigars again. As he came of age it was a way for us to be able to hang out, talk and enjoy a common interest...and I figured if he was going to smoke (he was frequenting hookah bars with his friends) I was going to do my best to get him to enjoy it like a man. No offense to hookah smokers.
My top cigars of choice...
1) Montecristo #2 (Cuban)
2) Padron 1926 80th Anniversary
3) Padron 1964 Anniversario
4) Davidoff Millenium
5) Bahia Blu
Yes, I know that list makes me seem arrogant or well to do. I'm not. Since I don't get to smoke very often I chose to make sure what I smoked was worth my time. The first three are my personal epic smokes and the fifth (Bahia Blu) was a very recent find via a gift that surprised me.
My smoking heart belongs to Padron. The 1964 was the cigar that hooked me, the Montecristo was the first cigar that I smoked down to a nub (and still do every time), the 1926 was like taking the best of #1 and #3 and making one spectacular smoke and the Davidoff was one I smoked when I lived in SoCal. I would take it to the a spot overlooking the ocean and smoke it as the sun went down.
I found BOTL as I was searching for info building a wineador. As I type this the wife has confirmed that my New Air 180 arrived today and the rest of the stuff should be trickling in over the next few days. Shelving will be a gift from the wife for Xmas.
