I worked in a cigar shop in high school. Haven't had one for a long time. They roll cigars on Arthur Ave here in the Bronx.

Yes Futurebird. They have the best local cigar in the Arthur Ave Market. Mike from David's Deli introduced them to me. Great to pair with some mid roasted oolong.futurebird wrote:I worked in a cigar shop in high school. Haven't had one for a long time. They roll cigars on Arthur Ave here in the Bronx.

Our very own TIM was just interviewed by Steeping Around on this very topic... http://www.steepingaround.com/show102/
Great interview, bud! You should have told us! Too modest!
Nice! Just had a 2004. Sweet! Try it with a Sheung perhapsgasninja wrote:San Cristobal Robusto with 80's Menghai 79092 shu. Great match. This cigar is beautiful. I have never seen a wrapper quite like this
What kind of Taiwanese tea you like to drink?Risdt wrote:When the weather will finaly start to get better, I might accept the challenge of pairing some cigars with tea, till now I've only done so with various kinds of whisky. When I think about it: tea and cigars might be a more natural fit than cigars and whisky. My main tea consumption exists of Taiwanese gao shan... a flowery,light R&Y might be an option.
My knowledge of cigars is quite limited, anybody who could help me pairing some of my cigars (only have about 6-7 in my humidor, quite an expensive hobby for a student)?
During winter, I mostly drink Hung Shui but I only smoke in Spring/Summer So now my tea diet will mainly consist of Shan Lin Shi, Alishan and Dong Ding tea. I did buy some Yancha, roasted TGY and some sheng to experiment withTIM wrote:what kind of Taiwanese tea you like to drink?

I've only bought Cubans so far and Ethan just told me that they might be too heavy for such delicate teas. Also that Cuban take some time to become a proper smoke.
Try a D4 for your high mt. Green oolong. Very versatile smoke for beginner and easy on the wallet. Have Fun!Risdt wrote:I haven't smoked that many cigars though I really like the Cohiba's whenever I have the oppertunity to smoke them, especially the siglo V.
Also like the Partagas E2 but they can be quite strong for me since I'm not used to the nicotine. I'm not experienced enough to really favor one cigar above the other, still browsing around. A nice subsitute for Cubans might be nice, they seem to be way overpriced compared to cigars from other countries.
