Here's the skinny on our man Rush Limbaugh. I have played golf with him at the Palm Beach private golf course with some other "big tickets" who he tends to play with often. The only reason I got to play with him is because the friend I have his Dad is a real big ticket and Rush thinks it's a big treat to play with him. Anyway, everytime I was around this guy he is a complete narcissist and you'd think he'd tone it down when he's off the clock and not on his program. He loves Partagas #10 when he's golfing and he is the biggest windbag I have ever seen. He didn't know me from Adam but he assumed that since I was friends with the son and Dad that I was another big ticket,,,so for 18 holes he continues to size me up to see who I am, what I do, how much money I make, who I know,,,blah blah blah.

If there was a question while we're all playing he knows every answer to any question we would talk about. He knows everything about sports since he was the announcer for the Chiefs way back,,he knows Carl Peterson very well,,blah blah blah. This guy for 4 hours talked non stop about himself and whenever possible I would hit my ball in the other direction just to keep away from him. Rush Limbaugh is the biggest windbag I have ever been around,,,period!!

On his show he comes across as the complete opposite of narcissitic. He seems to have a good heart and great understanding of many things.

Haven't heard Rush in a few years (his show isn't broadcast in my area anymore). Rush is Right! (for the most part)!

Rush is the man Glen is great to listen to as well

Rush came in second in a survey to determine the most narcissistic pundit (Savage came in first). Course, with these "entertainers", everything is in the eye of the beholder. He does proudly smoke cigars .... which is a good thing!

He's an ass... 'nuff said...

Rush a windbag? I don't believe it!

Fuentes are hard to find. Oh wait, this isn't 1996?

►Cohiba. The Dominican version of the popular Cuban brand, these are the cream of the crop – maybe the best quality cigars available in the United States. The Cohiba Black Label has an even fuller, richer taste than the original.

►Excalibur. The super-premium Hoyo de Monterrey brand, these more full-bodied cigars are exceptional in every sense – taste, construction and burn. Hard to beat.

►H. Upmann. The brand has been around forever, but you have to try the new H. UpmannVintage Cameroon. The perfect mid-day smoke to enjoy while listening to me on the radio!

►Lamb’s Club. Another of those smaller brands, this Dominican is made with Cameroon wrapper and Cuban seed Dominican long filler. Keep this one a secret among my readers – if too many people find out about it we’ll never be able to get enough of them!

►Macanudo Cafe. The #1 selling premium cigar brand in the world, these cigars are very mild. Also available in 2 other versions, the richer tasting Macanudo Maduro and the even more full flavored Macanudo Robust.

►Montecristo. One of the most recognized brands in the world, these exquisite cigars are medium bodied and exceptionally well made. To treat yourself to a fantastic smoke, try the hearty Montecristo White.

Gasp! Rush is.... WRONG! Again and again and again... Anyone who lets him do their cigar thinking for them is headed for... whatever. Hearty Monte Whites? Macanudos? Dominican Cohibas "top of the heap?" Can't find Fuentes? Don Pepin doesn't make the Top 10 and Excalber does?

Rush is a windbag. I would be willing to bet that at least half the members here know more about cigars than he does.

I don't know Peter. Those Dominican Cohibas are the cream of the crop

Rush is such an ass, shilling for Finck

didn't this douche once famously state that he only smokes LFDs?

what a tool.

I guess Litto Gomez must have missed a payment!

This whole thing started on his "open-line Friday" show quite a few months ago. Rush took a call from a caller who asked him what would be a good list of starter sticks for someone who wants to start smoking cigars. Rush went over a number of cigars, but was trying to stay with "mild" cigars which is what many of these sticks on the list are:

Interestingly enough, this isn't the complete list! I noticed that the "edited list doesn't include the La Gloria Cubana, Padron 1926 and 1964, Partagas Black Label and Spanish Rosado, Punch Gran Puro and Punch Corojo, Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real and Habana Reserve, and the Rocky Patel lineup especially the EDGE .

I'm sure that Finck's contacted Rush to put a sampler together, and he took them up on it. But in context, I think it's unfair to edit out the good sticks and only put in what you want. Everyone's tastes are different - especially someone who is just starting out. Would you recommend a Camacho Triple Maduro to a brand new cigar smoker?

I never ordered the "Rush sampler", but I did order a sampler from Finck's. The "Charles the Great" is okay - nothing special, but I do like their Lamb's Club blend. The problem is that most of the Finck brands are cut tobacco or a mixture of cut and long tobacco, which I don't care for. Finck's is also pretty pricey on their stuff, compared to other online vendors.

OK, I'm off my soapbox now and going back to enjoying my Tierra del Sol.

Ditto

That same list has been on Rush's site for a long time. He probably didn't even write it.
I like to listen to Rush's show because he comes up with unique and inciteful angles on current events. He also seems to find important events that are not being reported elsewhere but it will be big news if he talks about it. He can be very entertaining.
There is a saying: "It isn't bragging if you can back it up." You can't call "arrogant" unless you are ready to challenge the person and humble them. Otherwise you are stating yourself to be even more arrogant. Just my opinion.

After reading his recommendation that the Dominican Cohiba is cream of the crop, his credibility went out the window. What a clown

[Mr. Ed]

Actually, every Dominican Cohiba I've had has been average-good. The kicker is they have all been gifts, I wouldn't pay the prices on those things though. I think if General priced them around the La Gloria or even Macanudo, they wouldn't get such a bad rep. The cigar really suffers because of the name I think.

Its not even about the name for me, its the Padron like price tag for a crap cigar.
