I do not know if you planned this, but your video looks spectacular. You in the middle of the truck bed, the truck in the middle of the field behind you, hay bales scattered across the field, and the tree covered hills rising in the distance. It could be a painting. Oh, and by the way, I thoroughly enjoyed what you have to say about why you smoke cigars. Thanks for posting this.
I smoke them for the guaranteed peace of mind I’ll be allowed for the time spent. That forced break in the day focusing on just the cigar. Excellent video.
46 yr old here. Started about 5 years ago when i bought current home. Has 1.5 acres and riding mower and cigar just seemed like something i should do to kill time cutting lawn. . Wasnt until last year i started smoking as a "my time" relaxation hobby. I now realize how few men around me enjoy cigars. Im almost am outcast when i mention i smoke cigars. Yet when i meet a fellow smoker, age , race , religion or socio economic status... we have a bond. Thats my take away. You can bond with that fellow smoker. As dlov and wife says. Lovers of the leaf! We are united by the leaf. Great video. Subbed
I got into cigars because my grandpa used to smoke both a pipe and cigars. Im also at a point in my life where everything is moving so fast that sometimes its nice to slow everything down and just sit outside and enjoy a cigar! I also just recently bought a pipe because I want to try smoking some pipe tobacco because Ill always remember how good it smelled when my grandpa would smoke his. I also have to say that I really enjoy watching your videos and I hope that you continue to upload for years to come!
Glad to that your back. I was hoping for a video soon. My first cigar was a rose of Sharon. The long ones. And I started smoking cigars because I saw Dwayne from dry creek wrangle school smoking one and he looked like he was enjoying himself. So I tried it. And I since moved to smoking a pipe. I like smoking because it helps me relax after a long day and helps me out things back into perspective.
I'm 25 and recently got really into cigars! My dad doesn't smoke but he's always told me stories when he was growing up his grandfather from Italy would smoke upstairs in the office and give my dad the bands off of the cigars too play with and put on his fingers lol. He has fond memories of his grandfather and his cigars. He told me they all think he smokes about $100k worth of cigars throughout his life and that was back then! My dads always asking what new ones I've been trying and got me my first humidor last month on my birthday. He now enjoys one with me once in awhile
I got into cigars for the exact same reasons my man. I’m 35, will be 36 in December and I don’t know of anyone my age around me or friends that smoke a tobacco pipe or cigars. I’m fairly new to it and am learning what I like, and I’m loving the journey
Glad to hear that a young man is in it as well! If by chance you're ever in TN let me know I'd love to have a cigar or pipe with you. Keep on puffin man!
I appreciate the craftsmanship of cigars and enjoy the unique flavors. I generally only smoke 2-3 on the weekends but having that time to relax, contemplate life and enjoy a one of a kind work of art is rewarding to me. May also sip a little bourbon but that's neither here nor there. 😅
I literally recently seen a couple cool clips of Arnold Schwarzenegger talking about cigars and a nice trick with tequila to enhance the flavor for his guest. Then I bought a Deadwood Fat Bottom Betty, my first cigar and it was awesome, blew me away! Now I’m hooked and excited to try all the different flavors out there. My second was an Ashton in our local cigar lounge and experienced a nice cream flavor. The other thing is I’ve worked really hard all my life, now I’m a project manager turning 50 this spring and just feel like I earned it. Yes, I feel like you earn a cigar if that makes sense.
Hi Charlie! I stumbled on your video today and enjoyed watching it! I have smoked a pipe on and off for 50 years, but two years ago I got back into it with greater enthusiasm, commitment - and enjoyment! My son enjoys cigars and with his encouragement I am now enjoying them too! He and I meet up once a month to smoke a cigar and drink whisky, and it’s an evening I very much look forward to. I never experienced evenings like this with my own father, and my parents seriously disapproved of smoking. But I love the taste and the smell and the whole ritual, and find it marvellously relaxing. I look forward to more of your videos!
I got into smoking cigars with my Papaw and uncles when I was a teenager. We'd always smoke one after a big family meal. Years went by and I got away from cigars for several years. Then just a on a lark, I bought 2 and offered my brother in law one after a meal one evening. It has become tradition now. But the last couple years I have started trying a lot of different types and brands and have found some I don't care for and some I love. Just sitting on the porch after work and enjoying a good cigar is a very relaxing way to wind down from the day.
Its a spiritual thing 4 me. Also, the community helps you build confidence. Last but not least.. it's a piece/PEACE of time.... it helps me focus and enjoy life
@@becomingaman23 oh and just fyi there is also a shaggy foot cigar which leaves the filler exposed so u can taste that before the wrapper which is an interesting experience.. that also can be lit with out toasting
Excellent video! I’m in the northern Alabama. Northern Alabama is getting a lot of lounges here. I’m two months into this hobby. Been a great journey and I have met some really great people!
Yeah I’ve noticed there are 2 new ones in Madison AL. My favorites in that area are probably Sip in downtown Huntsville or Vintage in Huntsville over at Bridgestreet if you haven’t had a chance to check those out.
That’s a great choice of a cigar and you let it set a little longer to very nice. Foundation cigars are some of my favorites. If you haven’t had any other ones besides the Charter Oak I recommend you to try the rest of them. Hope you and everyone has a merry Christmas and blessed day in the comments as well. 🙏🤘
I am usually careful not to cut off the foot of a cigar. It is not made to be cut and will unravel itself and ruin the cigar. I have been temped to do it with this particular cigar though.

Thank you. I didn’t really plan the setting. I guess I just live in a beautiful area. I’m very blessed to have this land.
Amen, brother. @@becomingaman23

Dewayne is a great gentleman. Glad to see you enjoy cigars.

That would be great! I’m in Western Kentucky about 2 hours north of Nashville
Not a far drive from me at all!
Tengo 49 años y los fumo siempre desde los 18 años, saludos amigo

Well said!
Cigars allow me to relax and quiet the world for a bit, love the habit and is one of my favorite activities!

Thank you for sharing! Spending time with your son will create memories that will last for generations.
Sir, I wish I could ever say I do stuff , not just smoking but just any stuff with my father at all.
Great father you are and a great son you have.
I smoke cigar because makes me feel unique and different.. and also of course because makes me relax and think about life.

Great choice
ps its called a closed foot cigar..you dont have to toast that kind.. it is there so u can taste the wrapper first before the filler..
Thank you for that information. I did not know the reason for the closed foot.
@@becomingaman23 no problem enjoy
@@becomingaman23 oh and just fyi there is also a shaggy foot cigar which leaves the filler exposed so u can taste that before the wrapper which is an interesting experience.. that also can be lit with out toasting
This is a great video ❤
Thank you!!
with a closed foot cigar you can skip past toasting it and just go straight for the light up
Thank you! I was unaware of this but a few of you have pointed that out and I appreciate you!

@@becomingaman23 I haven’t yet. I recently went to The Leaf Emporium. They opened January 1. Very good atmosphere and selection.

Smoking a tabernacle right now
How was your day?
started smoking huge cigars from martinez new york! El Monstru they look the part nice and mild and i do inhale i know!!! love my pipes also!!!!
Why not cut the leaf fold over off? Light and puff.
I am usually careful not to cut off the foot of a cigar. It is not made to be cut and will unravel itself and ruin the cigar. I have been temped to do it with this particular cigar though.
Don't toast close foot cigars next time just light up and pull and taste the actual wapper of the cigar
How old are you
30 years old
What is your name
Charlie Turner
When is ur birthday
December 13th
Before it became popular are you kidding cigars have been popular since the beginning of time.
I’ve noticed a large amount of interest in cigars and pipe tobacco in the recent years as opposed to 10-20 years ago. I’m not necessarily saying they were not popular. I am saying that they were not as much a “fad” back then.
