in Dallas with a couple hours to kill

[andrew]

Im a pipe smoker, but I feel like a good mild to medium cigar. I need to know the best one to get and and best place to get it that's say, within ten miles of the convention center.

Any help would be great, thanks

Tobacco Gallery on Kate Street, off of Prestion. It's an excellent shop, and they will have anything you need and can help with suggestions as well. Good luck!

If Taboo is close enough for you to hit I'd go there - I've ordered a few times from them and they have never disappointed.

Make sure to tell them your a ClubStogie member and you'll get hooked up!

I totally agree with Bob & Tim....Taboo Cigars...Rob is an awesome BOTL.

Unfortunately Taboo was thirty miles away from where I was at and I didnt have that kind of time. Instead I went to Tobacco Gallery and did some browsing. I picked up a Padron 1964 Anniversary torpedo. Being a pipe smoker I dont know how to put down the "specs" but it is 6x52. I also grabbed a Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas for my brother for christmas. This one he'll really enjoy.

I plan on smoking the padron tomorrow when I get to Joplin MO. I'll give another update then.

Too bad you couldn't make it to Taboo but glad you found a B&M. I tried a Padron 1964 a couple days ago and it was the smoothest stick I've smoked, a fantastic stick.

Good to hear, I'm really looking foward to it. Just got to pick my drink to go along with it.

Well, I finally go the chance to sit down and relax with this cigar. I went to some skanky pool hall and played a couple hours, and was very tempted to smoke it then. Instead I went to some hole in the wall restaurant and grabbed a quick sit down dinner then headed back to the hotel. When I got there I lit it up. I may not know much, but I knew that lighting it was key, so I just tried to light it as evenly as possible. Doing so made it a much more enjoyable experience than my first cigar a few weeks back. It wasnt an expensive one, 8$, but it started bitter and stayed that way.

It gave me a good 45 minute smoke (or better). As smooth as I can expect a cigar to be, very flavorful. A lot different from a pipe, in fact, not at all what I expected. It was good up until the point that the nicotine started kicking in. I couldnt quite make it to the wrapper, but I got pretty close. It gave me a bigger buzz than I've ever had smoking a pipe.

I'll throw a cigar into my rotation on the occasion, as long as they are as good as the one I had last night.
