10 inch cigar?

[stogismokr]

Hey i was wondering, i went into a nice cigar shop the other day and bought a 10" Flor de Olivia. Is this a good cigar, or did i waste my 8 bucks on a cigar thats just for looks. i dont know much about good cigars, as i am just starting to smoke them. Ive an ok Drew Estate, A Vintage Rocky Patel, and yet to smoke this 10 incher, a Cifuentes Y Cia, and a Camacho. Are any of these good cigars?

If you like them, they are good cigars. Oliva makes good cigars, just make sure you have 3 hours to spend on that monster.

And make sure you don't light up when it's real humid out. I tried smoking an A size Habana Leon out on my back porch one rainy night, and because of all that nice humid air I was drawing in, it plugged up solid.

May I suggest you set aside the three hours immediately following a large dinner

Agreed with all of the above. I have some CAO Maduro's in an A size. Bought a box. Damn tasty but my goodness I almost NEVER have 3 hours to smoke a stogie. I still had a good 5 inches left when I called 'no joy' and gave up the ghost! FDO's have a real good rep around here so I don't see where you could wrong. But plan in advance since you won't want to waste the experience.

May I suggest you count on 3 L - O - N - G hours!

that is a monster cigar and like said before it is going to take a long time to smoke it. but not as long as this thing it is 18" x 66

That one should be great. If you have a punch put 3 holes in it to get a good draw. The Rocky Patel Vintage is a great stick. All Rockys are good in my opinion.

i smoked one of the indios that i posted about above. i smoked it during a longest ash contest at my local B&M. i personally love rubustos but a nice big smoke is always good every once in a while

No doubt.
Don't often find the time anymore to do one but man, nothing beats the joy of lighting up a Monte A and seeing the monster so far from your laps to light it. Just tough to find three hours of bliss to be able to smoke it.

yupyup. it takes about three-four hours to smoke that indio. plus you need a bread knife to cut it

here's my experience with the Chief

interesting to say the least.

count me out on this one

[uwhoo]

That will be a nice smoke. When I smoke a stogie that long I always through out about 3 inches as the tase gets ronchy.
