DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test Thread #2

[Montano]

I think in total, this makes 4 CC's for me. So if that's not n00b, I don't know what is. I am not a huge fan of lanceros either, but I'm learning to like them. I too think I look silly @ 6'2" and 220 pounds, sucking on a pencil. But lanceros have been good on the flavor end of things.

Its not a Lancero, its a Slim Panatella

And second of all, i think your not understanding the true reason of smoking

Who the hell cares what you look like when your smoking. You smoke to look cool?

Smoke to enjoy the finer things in life, and the camaraderie of the Brotherhood.

Im 6 foot 300+, and i doubt anybody is going to tell me i look silly smoking these.. But even if they do, they probably aren't smoking anything worth mentioning if they are concerned with my looks

I've never thought of cigar smoking as cool looking in the first place. I'm sure a lot of people see a guy smoking a cigar and automatically think "he must be an a-hole". but since there aren't many places I can smoke in public here anyway, I don't usually take it into consideration.

Montano has a point though. As a skinny person, I feel a little silly smoking a big huge cigar, even if I'm by myself. 52+ cigars just don't fit my face. but how could you not feel like a badass smoking a LGC #3? They're just so old school and smooth looking.

I can't speak for Nick, but as for myself, it isn't about what other people think! If that were the case I would get a haircut, stop wearing my earring and drop 100 lbs!

The "slim panatella" is just too damn delicate of a cigar for me. I feel like I might break the damn thing while I am smoking it.

Lancero... Slim Panatela.... I imagine that's why this is the Newb BTT, and not the All Knowing BTT

I smoke for many reasons, which should concern no one but myself. However, the way a cigar fits in my hand and mouth are all part of the total smoking experience. At this point I just don't care for the pencil feeling when I'm smoking.

well not for nothing, but this is a forum, where people post their opinions thousands and thousands of times a day.. I can assure you that im not concerned, just a tad baffled..

Holding a small cigar is understandedly hard (i have gorilla mitts for hands), and thats a valid excuse (i guess i just got used to it), but you DID mention you didnt like the fact that you looked stupid.. And as stated earlier, thats still the worst excuse ive ever heard to stop smoking a cigar, lol
