Anybody freeze pipe tobacco? My buddy's roommate mentioned it once and I hadn't heard of it before that one instance. More common in certain areas/regions?
Nah. If its raw tobacco that you grew, you want to freeze it for 72 hrs to get rid of any insect eggs or whatever from it. But anything that you get from a retailer will have been basically sterilized
If you have problems with pipe tobacco going stale, keep it in a mason jar. It will last for years in a regular mason jar with a double lid. It will basically last until the rubber gasget hardens and fails, which takes a decade or more.
Some of my pipetobacco is 15 years old, Still has the original moisure, and smokes/tastes great. Most virginia blends will actually improve with age

Thanks 
I have so many Mason and Ball jars that I'm not using for canning (or ) right now. I'll probably test out some storage methods with those then, kind of having a facepalm moment over that not having occurred to me before now. Improvement with age has a lot to do with storage which I know I never do properly.
I wonder if many folks have experience storing weed/tobacco mix cigars in homemade humidors, too sacrilegious (and a little off-topic)?

I had me a Cuban cigar on Halloween. If I die tomorrow, I die happy having that experience. It was smooth and didn't leave that cigar stink on me. It didn't give me cigar breath. Truly a beautiful experience and I'm not typically a cigar smoker.

Would love to try to roll a "Cuban Blunt" one day.

Ive only ever had one cohiba. I was in japan on the izu peninsula sitting on the roof of my hotel. Truly one of the most relaxing moments of my life. I literally just wanted to stay there forever.

Asylum is a pretty good brand in their price range. Never had the Insidius but its not suprising it had a creamy flavor, thats pretty common of mild cigars. Although there are a some medium->full smokes that are creamy as well(especially the padron 19xx line and the family reserve, great cigars if you get the chance)

I bought it at a local shop. I walked in and stared at the wall of cigars for a really long time. Finally, the owner guy asked if he could help me. I told him I was looking for a Cuban cigar. I think he popped a semi-boner and led me to the counter. He pulled out this Ziploc bag that had seen better days, so I knew it was legit. The guy's brother or something went to Cuba that day and was having a few boxes imported in. There were a few different sizes inside. I chose the middle one. He literally fell all over himself to help me cut it and light it.

I said the same thing. You'd be surprised how much a person can change. I was like "I don't even like alcohol" now I drink every night. I don't really smoke much, but I smoke more tobacco than weed now.

Nice. I was eying a padron at the shop today, but settled on this:
Don Pepin Garcia Original in Churchill. Full body smoke that's definitely on the spicy side. Black pepper and nutmeg with a long earthen finish. Relatively even burn. The issue however was definitely an overly loose draw which truncated the duration. Decent smoke though. Attractive bands.
 
What do y'all like to drink with your sticks? Despite my proclivity toward alcohol, i actually do'nt usually partake when i'm smoking. I've come to favor drinking powerade(blackberry and the lighter blue one are good) with a cigar as they seem to accentuate the tastes without overpowering them.

Before 5:00 PM, i usually have a diet mtn. dew with my cigars.
After 5PM, i usually have water with it, but if i have a non-caff pop like Ginger Ale i'll drink that. I usually like bubbly sweet drinks with cigars, but just cant do caffeine after 5
Recovering alcy, so i never drink alcohol in general
Also, Love those don pepin blues. Had my first one a few weeks ago

And i just finished smoking this tasty lil treat about 20 mins ago(This also happens to be blended by Don Pepin)

I always take pictures of of my cigars, cause i'm a showoff/instagram whore

bump.
Went to a CAO event and picked up some Amazon Basins. It was buy 5 CAO cigars get 2, so i also got a free CAO Colombia (smoked it, was decent) and CAO Consiglieri (havnt smoked it yet)

Amazon Basin a seriously awesome cigar. Its pretty hard to find, but if you do see them, i strongly suggest you get some. It also has a tobacco band that you can smoke right through, so it has some novelty value on top of being an amazingly flavorful smoke
