I've seen those Tabacalera outlets in SM and more than once I've been tempted to inquire but 100% of the time I ended up not buying anything because I didn't know what appropriate cigar to buy. Now your post gave me an idea to look for caprichos - I mean do I understand that Tabacalera does not carry coffee-flavored caprichos, which I might prefer? And, what does not inhaling cigar smoke mean?

Well, how do you smoke cigars? Pardon, pero talagang clueless ako about this but I wanna go into cigars if it's healthier and more natural as you are saying

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

the tabacalera outlets in sm have the coffee, choco, vanilla and stawberry flavored caprichos. i prefer coffee flavor because i'm an avid coffee drinker (i have posts on coffee related thread). but choose what you feel and trust your instincts, flavored or unflavored.

 

i dont usually take in the smoke like the way a cigarette smoker would inhale the smoke. you simply puff your cigar, and expel the smoke after (hithit-buga) but in my case i let the smoke linger in my mouth then release the smoke slowly trying to savor the smell of the smoke. a word of warning though, the taste of cigar tobacco may be overpowering, for a first time, but once you get used to it , you will appreciate a tinge of spicy, leathery taste that is left after smoking...

 

hard to explain but, as a word of consolacion, i was a first timer in cigar, once, i too had difficulty in understanding what i was doing... now smoking is part of my passion, my living, my life....

 

i wont give it up even if my doctor told me to stop smoking.... then what, i stop living?

 

good luck... have a great weekend..

For those who want to try cigars. try qutting cigarettes for about a week, then smoke cigars. You will enjoy cigars more because your body won't be looking for the nicotine in your lungs.

 

I tried cigars but it's much better if a girl smoked my cigar.

Good advises Masi. :cool:

 

My 2 cents, if you're going for Cigars go for Cubans its far better, although the price range may be material but the quality is far better of it terms of taste.

 

Cigars are made from natural ingredients, therefore it must be good for the health. 'Heck anything that we enjoy is good for us right????

Now that gives me an idea on how to go about it - thanks a lot, masi - so you don't inhale. Now I gotta try that!

Coffee-flavored should be interesting...

Have a great week, pare!

That's a novel idea - stopping for a week before going into cigars. Now I guess the stopping part is the most difficult.

Cheers, pare!

you too bods have a great week.

[muff_lover]

Ok bods. Hope you enjoy your first cigar. Pero tama si Masi. Try the chocolate caprichos. I occasionally smoke Tabacaleras since I found Cubans a tad expensive (fiscal crisis and all). I especially like Romeo and Julieta, and a friend of mine let me taste Padron (from Nicaragua). Both are excellent but expensive.

 

Anyway baka mamatay na si Castro magiging bukas na uli ang Cuban economy.

 

Prosit!!!

I forgot to ask: Has anyone tried a hookah? Someone told me that have one in Jerusalem restaurant along makati ave. It was P200 a pop. Masarap ang cherry flavor. For those who don't know a hookah is a Turkish/Middle Eastern pipe, like a flask, with a container for water, to cool the smoke before you inhale it.

 

OFF-TOPIC

A person swears by the taste of the hookah which is far superior to cigars and cigarettes. I think they previously used the hookah in Turkey to smoke hash-hish (i.e. hash). Hence the words "assassin" which was derived from the word "hash-hishin" - or a warrior who got stoned before he attempted to k*ll someone.

i passed mabini street in manila a few weeks ago and saw bottles of those "hookah" lined up in a mid-eastern cafe. i've seen them on TV but havent tried one myself... when i am that courageous to go into one of those cafes, i will surely try one.

 

thanks for the info...

hey bods,

 

i have to CONGRATULATE you on your thread... what started out as a thread for wine exchange has grown to be a thread for those who "appreciate" life.

 

for our friends who are just passing through, they might find the thread confusing because of too many "off-topic".

 

 

have you smoked your first cigar, send us feedback..
