Veteran's day smokes

[jrfoxx]

Any fellow veterans planning to smoke anything a little special for Veteran's day?

I don't consider it to as big a holiday as Memorial day, Thanksgiving or Christmas, so won't be dipping into my small stash of cc EL's, but do have 4 various 2016 Opus X's and a 2011 and a 2010 God of Fire in my "special occasion smokes" tupperdor that I will likely dip into finally.

Will likely try my first God of Fire in celebration. Something a little special, especially since I have never had one.

I'm sure there's a fair number of veterans here, so what are you planning for "our" special day?

If you don't mind, include your branch of service and era you served, your job during your service would be cool too. Would enjoy seeing who we have for veterans here and what branch and era's are represented.

Eta: this thread is in no way intended to solicit any kind of thanks from people, simply interested in meeting fellow veterans and about their experience, and of course, if they are smoking anything special tomorrow

My plan is to smoke the CAO America Honor that Tombstone gifted me with. I hadn't seen the Green Line Honor before, so I'm intrigued. Thanks for the post, jrfoxx !

Nice. I'm a big CAO fan, and have been for about a decade. Never had one I didn't enjoy.

Not sure if I have had the America Honor before.

Believe I smoked some "regular" Americas back in the day though.

Only. CAO's I have had within the last couple years was a ten smoke sampler that came in a hard plastic, zippered case. Forget exactly what it was called, but really enjoyed every one of them. Good to see the quality hasn't changed after 10 years like with many smokes.

Nice. There is a handful of Air Force and navy veterans here but the vast majority are army or marine Vietnam veterans.

Saudis had to suck with the heat. I know when the Enterprise was in the Persian Gulf doing some missions in Iraq, it was hot as hell on the ship.

Very opposite of the North Atlantic which was cold and very rough seas

jrfoxx, thanks for sharing your thoughts and prayers for our service members serving past and present.. My special smoke will likely be a Auturo Fuentes Don Carlos Lancero... Solid smoke, perfect draw...With a tip of Eagle Rare to wash it down.
U.S. Army EOD...1981-2001..Salute.

I know at 1 point I was gifted a camo cigar that may fit the bill.

Just had my last one yesterday in fact. Always excellent in every regard

My pleasure. Since I live in an assisted living facility for disabled veterans, and there are 85 of us here, they always do something special for any holidays, especially veterans day and memorial day.

Plus, being with this many other veterans makes it hard to not think about, especially since we lose someone every few months sadly.

Almost all are Vietnam veterans, and due to age and general health problems, that generation is starting to die off unfortunately.

EOD takes gigantic iron balls.

No thanks, lol

And doing it for 20 years is incredibly impressive.

I believe the first smoke from last year Veteran's Day was from cheaphumidors - a Tatuaje Tattoo. She bombed me some At Ease cigars - a very military and patriotic themed brand. Gonna have one tomorrow, and save the rest for the next couple Veteran's Days, may as well keep the tradition going. She's got a couple years to figure out what I'm smoking after that!

My grandfather served in the Korean War. He's been dead now for almost 20 years, though I was able to get some of his official military records. He was 101st Airborne and a tractor operator, I believe.

Although I never served, I have the utmost respect and gratitude for those who have and are currently serving.

My dad left home at the age of 15 ( he lied) and enlisted in the Army Air Corp during WWII. He was an MP and guarded prisoners of war in France.

Good thoughts and prayers for those who have served and are currently serving. I encourage everyone who has an American flag to fly it proudly today!

Today is Mrs Smokeys birthday and I will be driving about 50 minutes away to pickup and bring her birthday supper home this afternoon. And I have much to think about and remember on my short trip. I will smoke something special on this special day in honor of our brave veterans and service members across the globe.

GOD BLESS AMERICA AND THE BRAVE HEROS WHO SERVE OUR COUNTRY!!

My thoughts and prayers are also with the Americans still trapped in Afghanistan! Fuck global warming, bring our people home!

Was he in Marseille?

On my last deployment, we stopped in Marseille for a port visit. While on shore patrol, I was transporting our sailors to/from town along with the tourists coming to CVN-77. There was an old Frechman I sat next to and spoke with while we drove into town. He pointed out many WWII historic points, mostly old buiding that were used for hospitals, barracks, and whatever else. Doubt a prison was there, but very well may've been.

Matt, I don’t recall him saying where in France he was. He rarely mentioned his service. I wish he was still living so I could learn more.

You can request his records, especially being next of kin. You should at least get his DD1149 - a brief summary of his service, and it's also a military separation document. Not sure what else you'll get, but worth the look.

Happy Birthday Mrs Smokey. Like You I was never in the Military. Armistice Day and memorial Day have always been the two Holidays which mean a lot for Me. My Father was in the !st Division Engineers in France. While in France I traveled around visited Military Cemeteries, and a goodly number of Monuments to the American and Expeditionary Forces in a number of towns. Lots of places, Churches left in ruins as a result of the fighting. so many buildings still bearing scars of shelling, bullet holes. They force you to stand and reflect on the destruction of that now long past wartime.The War To End All Wars.Just listened to this song before going out to smoke. Sure makes Me reflect on those lost in War.

2001 Saint Luis Rey Double Corona

Very tasty. Still a fair amount of flavor after 20 years. 1st half was very mild, but picked up nicely in the 2nd half.

Draw was a little tight, but didn't want to risk cracking the wrapper using a draw tool as has happened with many very aged cigars, so smoke volume in the first half was less than I prefer, but it too picked up in the second half.

Burn and construction were perfect

Overall, one of the better 20 year old smokes I have had. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211111/e49fc54763d21adf593b54f80f5eb39f.jpg

1st and foremost...

...THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!
Past and present!

I too never served, but look back and wish I had. I played soilder for 2 years with the Army ROTC while attending Syracuse. Navy & Marines called trying to recruit me. But when they said that they couldn't guarantee me a flight slot, because I wear spectacles, I said no thanks. And didn't finish school, so needless to say didn't finish didn't earn a commission.

My Dad served. Army, Signal Corp, SP4.
And funny, short story. My Dad always told me that he was about to re-up but didn't because that's when they found out that I was on the way!
It's a nice November day so when I get home I will smoke something.

And last, but not least...
...HAPPY BIRTHDAY MRS. SMOKEY!!

Are you referring to its young strength and/nicotine level, or do you mean your enjoyment of it?

Kinda dumb question, but curious about the exact meaning of it.

Never had a recent production one. Just found out these exist maybe 6 months ago from seeing one posted on one of my forums and Googled it, and Arturo Fuente is my favorite nc marca by far, so no idea how they escaped my attention.

Still have a 2010 Serie B to try out too.

And kudos to the airtightness of the 2011's tubo. You could really feel the suction when separating the 2 halves, and really feel the air resistance when putting them back together. Definitely a tubo that would maintain humidity for quite a long time outside of any type of storage container.

Beautiful looking scene on the tubo, so added it to my little display of smalll 5ct cc boxes from my favorite cc marcas displayed on my dresser as part of my cigar and Navy themed decor in my room to make it less institutional feeling and looking.

Have received several very nice items to add to my decoration, and its greatly appreciated, especially the 2 wall hanging items. My tupperdors take up my entire desk, and and my little bit of space on my dresser is now full, so pretty much just the walls left to continue decorating.

Always keeping any eye on Amazon, Ebay and just the occasional Google search for affordable Navy or cigar themed wall decorations.

Unfortunately, most nice looking wall items are kinda pricey. Only the ugly or tacky stuff is very affordable from what I've seen

I was in the navy from 2001 to 2009.

Spent a couple months on Coronado island in California, which is where the Seals train.

If you got in trouble for something fairly minor, a common punishment was to make you do morning PT with the Seals or BUDS.

Everyone I saw it happen to was so stiff, sore, and generally tore up that they couldn't even raise their arms more than a couple inches and could only shuffle to walk.

Thankfully I never got in trouble for anything, anywhere, for my 8 years. Even got my "good cookie" Medal, lol

Not dumb at all!
I'm talking enjoyment!
The taste had me wanting the cigar to last forever!
I didn't find the nicotine to be too much of an issue (but I love a full strength cigar).
I just found it to be enjoyable from beginning to end.

Thank you for sharing. I see you've been a Bum for quite awhile, and I hope to see what you're smoking more often.

My grandfather served in the Korean War. He's been dead now for almost 20 years, though I was able to get some of his official military records. He was 101st Airborne and a tractor operator, I believe.

I can't post pictures and had a little confrontation with someone here years ago. I belong to 2 other forums that I've bought, sold and traded with, even some BOLT's here I'll share my last 2 day's of smokes:

Celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday because my wife is working today. Started the day off with a couple cups of coffee and a :

Ave Maria Divinia Toro Tubo (wooden coffin) (6 x 54, NIC)

Dug deep for an oldie, Hoping it's as good as I remember the last one was that I smoked at least 2 years ago. Going to have a couple of glasses of home made Dego red wine with a:

Gran Habano/ Rico Family S.T.K. Black Dahlia Robusto (5 x 52, HON)

Amazing what you will find when you dig down deep in the coolidors, A Blanco Cigar Co. product. Believe I have them since 2017. Firing up an:

American Legion Gran Toro (6 x 60, NIC)

Anyone know if they are still in production?



Friday's cigars:


Rainy, sleeting, snowy, windy day in NE Pa. today, not a great day in the garage for smoking!!! But onward and smokey.

Torano Vault Blend A-008 Robusto (5 x 52, NIC)

It was a awesome smoke with a cup of coffee, tasted like Anisette Liqueur. Give one a try.

Espinosa Habano Toro (6 x 52, NIC)

Love Erik's blends (Almost as much as A.J.'s) a chocolate treat I wish I had it with a stout beer instead of the Dego red wine.

Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Norteno Corona Extra (4.75 x 48, NIC)

Just finishing this classic up now, After dinner with a cup of coffee. End of a perfect day. Other then the weather!!

The American Legion cigar sounds interesting. Not sure if I've had a Blanco Cigar Co. stick. Their Above And Beyond Heros line looks pretty gimmicky, and the ring gauged are bigger than I prefer. What other lines are worth checking out?

I can't post pictures and had a little confrontation with someone here years ago. I belong to 2 other forums that I've bought, sold and traded with, even some BOLT's here I'll share my last 2 day's of smokes:

Celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday because my wife is working today. Started the day off with a couple cups of coffee and a :

Ave Maria Divinia Toro Tubo (wooden coffin) (6 x 54, NIC)

Dug deep for an oldie, Hoping it's as good as I remember the last one was that I smoked at least 2 years ago. Going to have a couple of glasses of home made Dego red wine with a:

Gran Habano/ Rico Family S.T.K. Black Dahlia Robusto (5 x 52, HON)

Amazing what you will find when you dig down deep in the coolidors, A Blanco Cigar Co. product. Believe I have them since 2017. Firing up an:

American Legion Gran Toro (6 x 60, NIC)

Anyone know if they are still in production?



Friday's cigars:


Rainy, sleeting, snowy, windy day in NE Pa. today, not a great day in the garage for smoking!!! But onward and smokey.

Torano Vault Blend A-008 Robusto (5 x 52, NIC)

It was a awesome smoke with a cup of coffee, tasted like Anisette Liqueur. Give one a try.

Espinosa Habano Toro (6 x 52, NIC)

Love Erik's blends (Almost as much as A.J.'s) a chocolate treat I wish I had it with a stout beer instead of the Dego red wine.

Drew Estate Herrera Esteli Norteno Corona Extra (4.75 x 48, NIC)

Just finishing this classic up now, After dinner with a cup of coffee. End of a perfect day. Other then the weather!!Interesting that there is an American Legion branded ciger.

I have belonged to the American Legion since I got out of the navy in 2009.

Will definitely have to try and hunt one down to go with the At Ease Navy cigar I was given.


Eta: did some Googling and apparently they have been renamed as Blanco Above and Beyond and are available with that name
