None for me this year. I believe last year was an Alec Bradley. Mrs XXL usually picks me up a a box pair at the start of the season. Don Pepin 15th Anniversary is a great cigar. I have had several Fuente Opus over the years but the two aforementioned smokes hold their own. Macanudo was my first cigar at the suggestion of another. It was very smooth. Over the years I have had several more but they couldn’t hold my attention.
Most of the Drew Estate flavored cigars remind me of potpourri and taste about as nasty. They did partner with Rocky Patel and made some chocolate and coffee flavored that are a morning beach ritual with my coffee.
Just like anything else it is about personal preference and budget.

You actually get the full taste and flavor without taking it to your lungs. But I have to watch myself or I will inhale.

I usually call up my cousin that lives in Chicago and get a suggestion or two from him on a good cigar.

I don't anything!

I don't anything!

I'm going to be completely honest here, I don't either. It's a neat tradition and all, but I ain't going out on the back porch and smoking a cigar just because we beat Tennessee 55-17 for the 23rd year in a row. If I was at the game and someone handed me one? Maybe. But even then, I don't know. Wish they passed out cupcakes or chocolate chip cookies instead.

Being it's a win against TN it's only an excuse reason to fire one up. Hell, the last few years I've had mine lit before the game was over: before halftime on a few occasions.

To be completely honest here ...

I'll smoke a few a week and it's like Wayne referred to earlier: a nice addition to a good Scotch.

We'll discuss @planomateo and his choice for cigars 'produced' in Colorado if y'all so choose.

Bama, Bear Bryant and a trainer's bet: Why the Alabama-Tennessee cigar tradition means so much

Late Alabama trainer Jim Goostree invented the Alabama-Tennessee cigar tradition, and his wider influence on Bear Bryant's entire program is only beginning to come to light.

I’ve never partook in the Tenn/cigar thing intentionally. I smoke cigars regularly, so my lighting one during or after a Tenn win is just simply coincidence.

Yes on a jubilee we get frying pan sized flounder. And on occasionally we get redfish. The crabs are sweet and we get lots of mullet.

It's the taste. You do get nicotine but not in your lungs.
