QUOTE(kockroach @ Mar 31 2009, 10:47 AM) @sliver2c So for a new starter, one can start with a Petit Corona(is it a brand or type) that comes with a lighter flavored? No? Thanks Petit Corona is a type of cigar, For a starter you should try Montecristo No 5 , its a cuban cigar. Its easy to smoke and light on the pallate. it should cost around RM 35 per stick. You can get it at any Havana outlet or my favourite will be ember shop at Curve. Once you are in a cigar shop ask questions and spend some time there learning about it. Go to ember shop and the owner C.K Lim is a very helpfull person and also more than willing to spend time with the customers.

I have a nice bottle of Suntory sitting at home. Just waiting for the right occasion to open it. Bought it after watching Lost in Translation. Hahaha!
When it comes to whiskey, I'm a huge fan of quarter cask whiskeys. I love the smokiness that comes along with it, but I know a majority of Malaysians hate it. I don't really dig single malts though, probably because I like more intense flavor from quarter cask.
As for cigars/cigarillo, I usually go with Cohiba. Did sample a range from Trinidad Cigars back when I was writing for a magazine, but I don't really know how to appreciate them.

I love single malts especially Ardberg and Oban. I dont really fancy Cohibas but recently I had a chance to try Cohiba Sublime 2003 and I tell you it blew me away!! excellent cigar. I wish it was easy to come by here one of the more rare cigar I ever tried.

That's right. Suntory is a Japanese whiskey. Doesn't taste outstanding, but then again, I bought it for the novelty.
It's good to have wide general knowledge about things like wine, whiskey and cigars. It's even better to learn how to enjoy them. Not all businessmen are like old school Chinamen, and sometimes breaking the ice with these can help a lot!

QUOTE(sliver2c @ Mar 30 2009, 03:52 PM) I dont know if this is appropriate here, since this is all about men's style I wonder if any of you enjoy the above as much as I do. I am curious as many men today enjoy more finer things in life compared to old days where only the rich indulge in this kind of activity. This thread is also for us to learn more about fine wine, whisky and Cigar. I am not an expert but if we can learn from each other why not!! So guys please post your interest and questions here! im going to allow this as long as the posts here are constructive and does not turn out to be considered an "unhealthy" thread..
