Colt45 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've not had a cigar in a few weeks. With all that's happened in Oz recently, I'm embarrassed to say it's been due to weather (cold, snow, rain, cold...). So the other day I did something I don't often do - I went down and opened my humidors just to have a smell. I was rewarded with a kind of subtle sweetness and a real sense of vanilla - just lovely. Perhaps being away for a while gave me a greater appreciation for the aroma of a great cigar (or large group of cigars) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkz Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 The smell from a humidor filled with cigars is a touch of heaven! I always take a sniff when I open up anyone of my humidors. It makes me happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edameff Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I've always wanted to capture that essence and put it in a cologne, of course instead of attracting women, I would only be mobbed by other FOH members hitting on me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I had a real slow start this year too Ross. I am glad to be over it though. I have had a rather biting cold for about 5 days but the damn weather is so nice that I have been smoking anyway!!! Sometimes it does one well to step away from cigars for a while. Like you, sometime I will open a humidor just for the aroma. I could live in there!!!! The Czar gang review of the '01 Lanceros got me wanting one so I opened a box and smoked a couple. I was gonna' piggy back their review but never did. Since the pics are now in my computer I am gonna' go ahead and entice you! Cheers. -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitrousPurger Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 For an even greater effect pull out a nice box and take a wiff the thing I love about cigars is that even when you're not smoking, the aging process makes the next time that much better! Dont worry I think a lot of us aren't able to enjoy smoking at this point in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuck away from the enjoyment due to the weather. It's amazing how scents can be so intoxicating and memory-invoking. Ahhhh, the anticipation....

Due to a nasty reoccurring sinus infection I was out-of-commission for 10 days. The built up heavy aroma of cedar and cigars was remarkable.

Or a car air freshener. I would buy that in a second. I'm sorry Piggy but if the grass is still green, that anit that cold! I went out and smoked a Monte2 on Thursday night while it was -29*. Before you get too impressed I was in the back garage of my smoking buddy with four infrared heaters and a propane patio heater. It made it rather reasonable but I would still say it was -5 to -10 in there. Great Monte2 BTW, I am at the end of a couple of really good 10 count boxes, and I'm reminded of why I like these so much. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in the 70's and 80's on Isla Piggy and probably mid-seventies when I smoked the Lanceros. Hell I shot paint with an airless on some French doors today! Now I have got my sights set on a cigar despite MY cold! Cheers mate. -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PigFish Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Attaboy! I hate a quitter. Down to a chilly 55, don't know if I can hack it! -LOL Needed to put on a sweat shirt to finish my '01 Exquisitos. Damn fine cigar. I needed a pungent little bugger to cut through all that snot in my sinuses!!! Off to feed ponies now! -P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should have read it more carefully. No sweat amigo! I am a cold weather ***** these days anyway. I took the grandkids to see snow over Christmas and the temp was about 12 deg. F. I lasted a little while gettin' the kids suited up. Lady Piggy stayed in the truck with dog... engine running of course. The kids... well they lasted about 15 minutes! CITY KIDS! -LOL The middle one, Seth, after I dumped a little snow down his shirt says, "I can't feel my nose; I think that the snot is frozen to my upper lip." He went back in the car shortly their after. Not much constitution on Lady Piggys side of the family!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
