Good to see fellow pipe smoker.
Last summer I basically spent my whole afternoon working out and then going to the beer garden to have a drink a smoke a bowl. Almost every day. Didn't see any negative outcomes. Maybe I would progress faster but who cares, sometimes I just want to chill and have a good time woth my gf/friends.
Really? But I thought that cold showers flush the lactic acid out of your muscles and improved recovery
from what I've heard they help muscle fatigue, but prevent hypertrophy
Exactly what
muscle needs inflammation
cold exposure reduces inflammation
less soreness and quicker recovery
but also less hypertrophy
said, except cold showers are usually not intense enough or localized enough to have any real effect as you just blast part of the surface rather than immerse the muscle enough to reduce inflammation. Cold water subermersion will absolutely kill your gains though if done after a workout, always do it beforehand and save heat exposure for post-workout.
I've never been so disappointed in a cigar as I was with one of those Undercrown sungrowns. The maduros and shade grown ones are some of my favorites, but the one sungrown I had was legitimately bad. Like, cigars half the price were leagues better kind of bad. Comparable to Black & Mild gas station cigars bad.
Give them a try. They're legitimately pretty good, not just good for a $3 cigar. And that's the price if you buy a whole box. Individually, they usually go for $5-6, but they're still worth it at that price.
Also, wherever you live may add a bunch of taxes that turn even cheap cigars into expensive ones. That's how it is here in Mormonland, so I just buy them online and have them shipped to my brother in Colorado whenever I go to visit.
>Mormonland
I hate this gay fricking state and their moronic nanny state laws. There's one decent cigar shop in the whole goddamn valley and it takes me 30-40 minutes one-way to get there. At least I own my house now so I don't have to smoke at that shitty coffee shop any more.

Lol good. Humans don't need to consume drugs, alcohol, or tobacco. None of that shit should be ever available.
Undercrown is good, I have not had the red label one though. Tatuaje is also really good. Lately I have been smoking an original Cuban every morning after my workout.
>checked
smoked ciggies for years now, never been able to dissociate cigars with hipsters, sigma grindset try hards, etc, been thinking about giving them a go recently, any brand recs?
anyone who enjoys cigars LARPs. they do it because they saw some other person (with actual accomplishments) do it and they looked cool. so by smoking that cigar they get a tiny glimpse of what it feels like to feel looked up to.
youre a moron. and a child. i smoke only cuban with a good glass of expensive whisky, its a good hour or so of getting relaxed while you think about life and things.
The way you cut that and the way you're holding it is making me angry. That's your first cigar, isn't it? You bought it because Andrew Tate is always smoking cigars, didn't you? Admit it, anon.
lmfao in my experience cigar smokers are among the least judgemental and most friendly people ive ever met
except on IST of course, you fricking homosexuals just cant help yourself
everyone here is suddenly le smug sophisticated cigar expert
here if you do anything slightly differently, smoke the "wrong" brand, hold the cigar a bit differently or cut it "the wrong way" then you are a Black person homosexual israelite dyel noob tate dicksucker etcetc
fricking miserable autistic crabs
I like tobacco. When I quit cigarette smoking and drinking, I had a hard time not replacing it with snacking. Cigars and pipe smoking helped me reach a middle ground and I enjoy it so I’m going to continue to do it. I don’t care if it’s bad for me.
No and that’s pretty obvious in my reply but they did help me reach a middle ground. You’re more likely to die from a shitty diet than an occasional cigar.
>friends start smoking cigars >okay whatever >smoke them every so often for a year >chatting to colleague one day, mention cigars >"I don't like how you're not supposed to inhale the smoke, just swirl it around in your mouth" >... what?
Bros I've been inhaling it this whole time, am I going to die y/n
Megacancer.
Really it's just like if you smoked a pack of cigarettes. A cigar is packed with tobacco, a cig is barely tobacco. So if you've been doing it for quite a while, you've essentially been smoking a pack everytime you've inhaled one to completion.
>drew estate
My homie >no v cut
V cut and a punch is all you need. Straight cuts on any ring size is going to make for a horrible draw, don't listen to any of the Black folk or hispanics who say otherwise.
You are right, but you’re forgetting that cigar smokers take up smoking cigars to look like mafiosos and drug kingpins. Since you never see these characters use v cuts or punches in the movies, they don’t either. It’s also why they don’t smoke cigarillos even though they’re objectively more convenient.
i started smoking because my father-in-law got me a starter cigar with a cutter and a lighter for my birthday and really really liked the taste and the whole ritual of it
Theres no better way of telling everyone around you that you suck wiener and have a gaping shitter and like eating feces and drinking piss than smoking cigars
Why do you do such a wide cut?
because he picked up cigars 2 weeks ago cause he thinks they look cool
Well they DO look cool, i myself never smoked or consumed tabaco but im considering on starting because cigars look cool
its a regular straight cut
also better airflow
so much projection lol
You want to cut closer to the tip of the cap so the wrapper leaf doesn’t come undone so easily. The air flow is the same.
>that post workout depression
strange. a proper workout ought to leave you spent, satisfied, fulfilled.
It doesn't because there's nothing else in life at the moment, and when it's done I need to wait til the next day.
Ballsy
...on a public park bench ?
its the private garden of an apartment complex
>Wouldn't that just limit the oxygen capacity in your cardiovascular system during recovery?
you dont inhale cigar smoke
It still gets in your mucus and lungs, even if you don't inhale. Don't get me wrong, I love to smoke, but it's counterintuitive to do it post-workout.
t. smokes pipes
what's a good tobacco to start with?
Good to see fellow pipe smoker.

Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, which is part of the reason it makes your hair fall out too.
Just slam citrulline.
no
>you dont inhale cigar smoke
Men do.
Why would you smoke after exercise? Wouldn't that just limit the oxygen capacity in your cardiovascular system during recovery?
>That post workout sugar free Gatoraide + protein shake + cold shower + fap
Cold showers after your workout will kill your gains. Stops your body from producing testosterone.
Sauna or hot shower post workout.
Really? But I thought that cold showers flush the lactic acid out of your muscles and improved recovery

Where did you hear that? At the idiot convention?

I mostly just smoke Oliva Series V melanios & Alec Bradley Prensados.
try Perdomo and Arturo Fuente my Black person
These are my current go to, mostly because I'm a bit broke for the time being. That said, for a ~$3 a stick cigar they absolutely cannot be beat.
$3 what the frick
I've never smoked anything under $10
and usually don't go under $15
Give them a try. They're legitimately pretty good, not just good for a $3 cigar. And that's the price if you buy a whole box. Individually, they usually go for $5-6, but they're still worth it at that price.

The very large majority of cigars in any shop’s humidor will be less than $10 per stick so you’re probably mistaken.
Shop online, I only get cigars rated 90+ and never pay more than 4$/per. Stores will usually rape you
Any recommendations?
New World
new world order?
Dont turn your back on the wolfpack
pretty much anything by my father. le bijou, the judge, and la gran oferta are my favorites
Already have a few in my humidor.
I'll check these out, cheers anon.
>Casa turrent oscuro are good medium-mild cigar
>Rock&Patel vintage 1999
For me these are my go to cigars. Also Alec Bradley medalist is not bad.
Oliva is good. I also like anything from Ashton. The box pressed La Galera 1936 is probably my favorite though.
Undercrown is good, I have not had the red label one though. Tatuaje is also really good. Lately I have been smoking an original Cuban every morning after my workout.
for me, it's a pipe with some peterson irish flake
cigars are so much better than regular pleb pipe tobacco
its like comparing a good cognac with some bottom shelf vodka
Ignorant Black person take
this is currently the best cigar for the money. im surprised these aren't $25+

You’re wrong. We do it because we’re addicted.
that's mostly true for cigarettes also.
nah they taste good, you are GIGA fricking coping
its like when virgins think beer is gross and nobody actually likes the taste lmao
> I don't enjoy this one this so everyone else can't actually like it and they're just pretending. Reeeee

>I need a large phallic object in my mouth right after lifting
Huh, I guess it's true that lifting turns you gay.

Cigars are for literal morons
As is any tobacco/smoking etc

you quit cigarettes so you could start cigars???
nta but cigars are absolutely nowhere near as bad for you as cigarettes are
No and that’s pretty obvious in my reply but they did help me reach a middle ground. You’re more likely to die from a shitty diet than an occasional cigar.

You're not just going to die, you are already dead.
RIP anon
>"I don't like how you're not supposed to inhale the smoke, just swirl it around in your mouth"
Wait, really? Is this a troll?
You only puff cigars anon... you're supposed to savor the smoke not inhale it.
What would happen if theoretically I had been inhaling cigars for a long time?
You haven't been so who cares.

Shut up Reddit
If you didn't wanna know then don't read it homosexual
You’d be at risk of developing lung cancer.
Yes obviously. Cigar smoke is too harsh to inhale. You couldn’t inhale a cigar.

You're alright. Le Bijou's are good but Judges especially in a robusto are top teir.
