Twitter Poll: Favorite Football Wachin’ Cigar
In a recent twitter poll, I asked my followers what their favorite cigar to smoke was during a football game. With the football season in full swing I’d love to hear what everyone is smoking?
Do you smoke something fairly one dimensional to focus more on the game or do you light up your favorite stick in celebration of the game?
i like the perdamo habano maduro… or maybe a nub (conn.) or two…
I don’t smoke while watching the game, but I always have beer on hand. My favorites during the games include Harp Lager and Yuengling Porter. A recent discovery that has been enjoyed the past 2 Monday nights is Otter Creek’s Stovepipe Porter.
Unfortunately…I can’t smoke inside my home..and there is nowhere in the vacinity to smoke and watch a game…However..if I were to find myself in such a situation..I would probably go with a Padron 1926 #9 maduro..
A nub is Connecticut is perfect for me when the birds are playing, but if I don’t have one in the humidor I usually go for an oliva g. I don’t really like lighting up a real flavorful cigar when I’m watching a game because I will get side tracked easily. It’s better to save them for the PLAYOFF’S. The cowboys game was a fluke!
For me, determining the “perfect” cigar for any occasion is a process. My smokes are usually accompanied by a seltzer or, more often, a specially roasted coffee and I pair accordingly.
I peruse the contents of 4 humidors… whatever is visually inviting at the moment causes me to pick up a few cigars, roll them between my fingers, look at the wrapper, sheen, check the pre-light aroma on the foot, etc.
I usually smoke (2) per game or match (football and futbol), so I go with a couple of coronas or perfectos. Sometimes maduro. It’s totally about the moment. Can’t say I have a “go to” but base it more on the desired overall experience. Usually my best friend is over so I pick out something special/hard to come by to serve.
It’s always something different!
Best regards,
LadyD.
