Popular Post DrStogie Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 I love it when idols of mine appreciate CCs. I remember seeing a post in here about Larry David and that he at least used to love CCs. You can see him smoking a few in early Curb Your Enthusiasm episodes. In the post it was stated he seems to love his Montes and I agree as what he smokes definitely looks like them and he appears to enjoy large big ring gauge special releases. I wanted to bring this up again because I’ve been watching the show again and in the penultimate season you can see he’s still smoking large Montes on the golf course so he’ll probably be an enthusiast to the end. Many of you probably know that Seinfeld and later the Sopranos was instrumental in the renewed CC enthusiasm in the 90s. In Seinfeld Kramer gets a box regifted by George from Susan’s dad, “the kind Castro smokes,” but they actually look like Ramón Allones Gigantes as it’s a big green box of DCs. Close enough anyhow, though probably most of us know he preferred a much thinner ring gauge and definitely smoked either Cohibas or Trinidads, though I’m quite sure it was Cohiba, at least to begin with, maybe Trinidads later. Anyway, it confirms they actually smoked Cubans which is cool and Michael Richards is of course also a verified CC lover. I love that LD loves Cubans because as many of you know he’s a notorious despiser of cigarette smoking. This just goes to show that enjoying CCs is absolutely nothing at all like smoking cigarettes outside of the superficial similarity of being combustible tobacco products. Who are your favorite famous CC smokers? 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Cigar Surgeon Posted December 13, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2021 There's a great line from Larry David in Comedians in Cars getting Coffee. Jerry is asking him to explain why cigars and he says: There's something contemplative about it. A cigar takes time. 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStogie Posted December 15, 2021 Author Share Posted December 15, 2021 Awesome, this is the exact thread I was talking about. What’s interesting is I’m pretty sure Seinfeld precipitated the 90s cigar boom not the other way around. The show made Cubans and their preeminence relevant again. It also probably has something to do with CCs being exceptionally good in the 90s. Though they were about to seriously decline because of fertilizer scarcity after the fall of the USSR, those effects had not been felt yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
