devilsmoke Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Greetings fellow enthusiasts! As a SOTL I've been enjoying cigars of all kinds for almost 10 years in the SW desert. I'm a huge nerd for cigar literature and love ot geek out about blends, brands and lines from all over the world. Logistics being what they are, I most often enjoy AMS but like to treat myself with the real deal every special occasion or so. I look forward to chatting with and connecting to new BOTL/SOTLs here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Padron's "Memorable Moments In My Life - The Story of an American Dream". It is a heavy hardback and I've not gotten all the way through it but I'm digging the intimate story telling. AMS (American Market Selection) is just a short hand way for me to talk about candela/double claro or green wrappers. There something about the profile that I really dig. I wish I could get others to join with me on my bandwagon, but I understand how many are set in their ways already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derboesekoenig Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Had to google this--seems like a term that was used in the 1950's-'70's--and seldom used these days. Apparently these types were preferred in America pre-revolution. Not sure if nowadays you can only get something like that from countries other than Cuba, however.
