Yes, when it's not being contaminated with stink stick discussions.
I guess if you're serious about the stink sticks, just making it to the top is probably a serious occasion to pull one out.

If that happened on a summit near me, I'd have to consider putting it out with some of my extra coyote urine.

It doesn't work on animals so at least it would go to good use.

Too heavy for me. I'm a "Light" guy. The Silver Slushy belongs on top of every peak.

As far as cigars....$6!!! I don't buy them over $1.50 each :)
Unfortunate that taxes make them outrageous to buy.
My motto is, "One day I'll be able to afford a good cigar." Haha
Perhaps we should plan a climb together one day and enjoy a good cigar at the summit!
When I have some time I'll share what some of my favorites are. For starters, ever heard of Acids by Drew Estate? I love them. Some don't. One of my new all time favorites is their Fat Bottom Betty. Also, from the Drew Estate are their Kentucky Fire Cured cigars. Finally, from the Gurkha collection, Ghost. These are all around your $6 range, not cheap, but not expensive.
Mostly, I'm smoking the cheapest ones I can find out of JR Cigars and Thompson Cigar catalogues.
What about you?
Uh, just had the ultimate cheapie, Swisher sweet if that counts. Acids are too bitter for me. I like something light to moderate. .... Normally I just have my Perdommos - my fav at $6. But if I can find a Macanudo, R&J, Montecristo, or Punch cheap enough, but that doesn't usually happen. I need to try some cheapies - I'll look for your suggestions next time I'm at the smoke shop, or order a few online if not there.

..... A cigar on top a summit, yeh I'd really like that. Obviously need a good weather day. I might just hit you up on that - cheers.
I look up to the mountains - does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! Psalm 121:1-2

Swisher Sweets?! I cut my teeth gumming on them :)
If you like those, have you tried Trader Jacks?

And yes, to be respectful of the OP, and others on this thread, perhaps we should start another thread.
