Cognac/Bourbon cigars?

[smokinbodybuilder]

Any of you guys like these? I haven't had one in a few years. Was just gifted a Duque (??) which I was told is cognac and a Maker's Mark cigar (Bourbon). I will smoke them since they were both gifts and I want to be truthful when I tell the gifter I smoked them (however I will lie about liking them if they suck lol). Just wondering if any of you guys still enjoy these from time to time.

On a sidenote my mom gifted me the Makers Mark cigar along with a Casa Fuente...so she's at least batting .500.

Had a Gurhka Platinum about 3 years ago it was awful. Just give me a good cigar and keep the booze in the glass to sip on.

I've had a Ramrod. It wasn't very good. That was a long time ago though. :ccowboy:

Maker's Mark was about the least offensive one I have tried....and it is still mediocre at best.

I wouldn't do that to my tastebuds! Just tell'em it was nice, just sayin!

I infuse some of my "yard" cigars for something different. These are my $3-4 sticks that I don't care if they get knocked around when I'm working in the yard.

I lightly wipe them down w/ my fav bourbon and then leave them in a sealed container for a few days to let them take in some extra.

They're not great, but not bad either.

I know Craig, it's crazy, but its something different.

Is the one you have inside a glass tube with a red wax seal?

Yeah, but then a whole box shows up for his next birthday!!

I had a couple cognac smokes when I first got into smoking, right before I discovered real cigars. At the time, I thought they were good. Never revisited them though

Yes it is.

I will agree on the Gurhka.. was saving it for something and turned out to be a turd!!!

Yes it is.

This is, unfortunately, the cure of letting family and friends know you love cigars when they know nothing about them.

Since I've taken up the hobby, I can't tell you the number of times I've been gifted fruit-flavoured cigars, fake CC's, packs of Black & Mild's or Captain Black's.

It's always prefaced with a "I know how much you love cigars, and these looked really neat!" statement.

I can believe it, moonshine is not known for it's taste.
