Pairing a Markbass LM II with a Cuban Montecristo #4

Sign in to disble this ad
Any thoughts? They're both small and lightweight, yet powerful and relatively full-bodied. Has anybody tried this combination? (I'm also considering pairing an Ampeg 8X10 cab with a Partagas Lusitania.)

I have a LMII and since I live in Canada, I smoke Montecristos whenever I have the cash. I feel sorry for Americans...

...I see what you just did there...
My endorsement: Padron 6000 with a Mesa Titan.

I like a pipe myself - my Duck Dunn impression is pretty spot on.

Good combination! I had a Cuban Montecristo once and it was excellent.
I'd pair my Carvin B800 with a Padron 1964 Anniversary Torpedo.

I didn't enjoy the cuban I had, it wasn't really as great as I thought it'd be. Wow I haven't smoked in a long time , I used to enjoy a cigar every now and then :/

I got a Cohiba once, and I thought it was extremely strong and not very pleasant tasting. Never tried the Montecristos though.

That sounds great. Haven't tried the Carvin, but I got one of those 1964 Anniversary sample packs at Holt's in Philly and enjoyed every one.
