Cigars and Money 

I’m sitting on my porch smoking a cigar and feeling stressed about the craziness in our country right now, and I stumble across this channel. I finish the first video, immediately subscribe, and look at a second video. I give it a thumbs up and then, after another puff on my cigar, realize that I have completely forgotten that I was stressed 20 minutes ago. This country needs a lot more people with this laid back view of life. Thank you sir for saving part of my afternoon, and more in the future. Now, I will slowly finish my cigar

I worked in Iraq for 6 years during the war as a contractor and continued my work in Afghanistan for another 12 years till it ended. Everywhere I traveled, I brought some cigars with me. After a long stressful day, I and my fellow contractors would sit around a picnic table and smoke cigars and talk about our day, talk about home, talk about anything.. it gave us a chance to wind down. I am still living and working in the Middle East and once a week I and my buddies get together and have a nice Dominican or Cuban cigar and catch up. Smoking cigars is more than just smoking.. it's a "moment" that only those who have experienced it can understand.

I'll never forget when I first started in cigars I had a $25 cigar (which was the most exspensive one I had bought at the time). I thought was going to be the best in the world and when I finally had it it was gross......some of the best cigars I've had have been $5. Price isn't everything and I've applied that to life

Oliva V was my first cigar ever. It got me hooked. There are so many great $5 cigars. People even think that is expensive, but then they will go to the bar and buy a $10 drink that lasts 10 minutes.

Came for the horsemanship, stayed for the straight talkin’ wisdom. I sub’d about five days ago and I’ll be damned if the channel hasn’t gained 4,000 subs since then. Well deserved.

I am Canadian, I don’t smoke cigars and I don’t have horses but I got snagged and can’t stop listening to this amazing soul of a cowboy. I don’t even really know how I found him and his channel. I think RU-vid put him in my feed because I was researching anything I could fond about border collies and stick dogs. I thought o was going to hear something new about border collies and I get an amazing talk about the world at large and how you can’t change a donkey because it’s in his nature. Now I’m hooked! I even share a few talks on my fb page. I don’t usually get any response and my followers probably think I’ve finally gone mad, lol! I lost my wife last Aug to cancer and with her health decline I lost just a about everything I owned. I now am living in a trailer on a little piece of land trying to prepare for the harsh winters that we get here in Ontario just below Algonquin park. I find that listening to one of these talks each morning to start my day while I roast and drink my coffee is so very grounding and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Thank you for being you in the world and thank you for sharing your wisdom. It has helped me quite a lot!🙏😊

My doctor asked me once ... Did I smoke ? .... I said i did, but only cigars and only when a baby is born ..... of course theres a baby born somewhere on this planet about every 30 seconds !

Those Drew Estate Factory Smokes are a good deal and a good entry point for sure. $38 for a bundle of 25.

I really enjoy this channel, I'm no horse man, I'm no cigar man, I am a water man and i find a lot in common with what I'm doing (moving and handling ships on the river) and what you are teaching in your videos. every video is a great lesson and I always find something I can use in my daily work routine ... keep going and i whish all the best. You always seem like a "Fels in der Brandung" i don't know the perfect translation for this phrase ...

Couldn't be happier that I found and subscribed to this channel a couple weeks ago. Great content containing sound, universal truths.

I don't smoke cigars but this philosophy can be applied to almost any thing in life. love your videos even though I don't ride any more either.

Encore! Love these videos! Hardwork, Cigars, and relaxation is a good portion of my life today. Glad to see someone with those values/hobbies with such wisdom that's willing to share it.

Greetings from North Dakota to you and your bride. I'm very happy to have found your channel. I grew up ranching in South West Idaho and everything that goes with it. I have been watching your video's and agree with your teachings. I would enjoy hearing stories about greenhorns and the situations they put themselves and others into on trails. Great lessons to learn from. Keep up the good work.

That’s a really great point about how price deceives the mind. Keep up the great work! Many thanks, Alastair

I'm currently listening to this while rolling my own cigars. Awesome wisdom you share. I absolutely love the way you explain cigars, how they are enjoyed, and what they embody.

love this man - we need more examples of good strong men and their journey in the world. Keep on Keepin on

Great channel. Authentic and straight talk. Keep it up

I feel like I’m every video you put up there is always a lesson I can take outside of the exact topic you are speaking on. Here I see that quality isn’t just about a price it’s about quality itself and it can be any price. Price is not guarantee of quality and enjoying what you find to be the best regardless of price is important. It applies to a lot. Thanks for help today Dewayne!

Sr. greeting from Baytown, TX. Like many others, I came across your videos while searching for new cigar videos. Just want to say that I agree completely with your presentation. Cigars, friends, conversation, fireplace, outdoors....heaven. God bless you Sr. keep up the great work.

I was enjoying my quorum when my brother send me this video. Now im a big fan and subscriber to your channel. Thank you very much for your work and sharing with us the way of being a good man. God bless you and your family!

Thank you for being a beacon of light and hope for us. May God continue to bless you. Thank you!

I stumbled across your cigar videos and subscribed because I appreciate your calm authenticity and ability to teach the balance of life. I don’t know the tail end of a horse or anything about animals, but I’m finding myself interested in your “old soul” way of looking at life. Keep doing what y’all are doing and I’ll keep tuning in. 👍🏻. Thank you from Bayou Vista Texas.

Long time cigar smoker here. Man, this is some great content. I haven’t heard this advise on any of the other cigar centric sources. Keep up the great work. Every new smoker should hear this. It will encourage a lot more to partake versus hating what they don’t understand.

Can’t go wrong with an Oliva V 👍 Some of the best cigars I’ve ever had have been inexpensive or mid-range when it comes to price. And the Charter Oaks are also phenomenal for the price as well. Love this content, thank you!

Greetings from South Africa - how much joy I get from your chats is Unbelievable! Thank You and God bless

I think this was the best 9 minutes I’ve spent in years..Learned a lot 👍

You got it right on the money. And if you’re smoking a cigar to impress somebody then you’re doing for the wrong reasons. New to cigars and new to your channel, but I’m really enjoying both! From my own experience, there are so many pretentious people/RU-vidrs out there who really just turn me off. But You’re one of the few humble, down to earth guys discussing cigars, and I’m grateful for what you’re doing. Keep up the good work. Cheers, brother.

I know this isn't relevant to this video but I just stumbled across your videos about a week ago. And I've been watching as much as I can And they are amazing. Your perspective on everything is awesome. Your definitely one of my role models now. Thank you for the content and willingness to teach us younger guys and gals. And I'm sure my horse will appreciates it to.

i ve been following your videos for awhile my friend am very impressed wit your logical approach to both horses and life im a 65 year old sheetmetal worker slash wanna be cowboy love my cowboy action shooting and old west firearms . the wife and i have owned horses and trail rode for bout 14 years now and aint nothing makes my universe right like sitting in the saddle on a good horse with a good cuban cigar and a flask of 20 year old canadian whiskey within easy reach in my saddle bags i appreciate all your insight philosophy and interesting videos keep up the great work

Hello Dwayne, let me start off by saying I really enjoy your channel there is a lot of wisdom to be found in your videos. I have an uncle who owns a couple of plow horses that can be ridden also so my wife and I enjoy taking them out on the property but we are both definitely novice and the horses seem to know that so they treat us with kid gloves they are that gentle. I too enjoy a good Maduro cigar and a pipe. I watched the video you made in your Suburban about your favorite books and you mentioned mixing Lane 1-Q with Kentucky Dark Fired. I enjoy both those blends so I thought I'd give them a mix and it turned out to be a very good smoke so thank you for that tip even if it wasn't meant to be one. I've rambled long enough so God Bless you and yours and keep up the great content. Thanks much.

Man I am so glad I found your channel! Love horses and cigars! Can’t wait to hear more about Tennessee, because ohio isn’t that bad of a drive… you are a great American!

Good Afternoon Sir, I’m a young officer in the Navy(early twenties) and I just want to say that watching your videos have helped me tremendously as I navigate my way through life. The world is always moving so fast and it’s hard as a working young man to slow down and find peace. When I drive to work in the early mornings I like to turn your videos on and reflect. As someone who grew up in the south I find that I can really relate to your philosophies and thought process. It makes me feel at home even when I’m across seas. Again, thank you for standing for something positive and real. I’m sure young men and women all across the country appreciate it as much as I have.

Great stuff, started smoking in my late 30's and on average, I smoke a lot of Oliva cant be beat for $4-10 a stick. Enjoyment is key and more importantly the people around you. Friendship, Bonds, Laughs, and New Friends is what drew me in. Great substitute when I stopped drinking. God Bless my friend and keep up the great content. You find yourself in CA, would love to smoke with you.

Stumbled across your channel and have subscribed. I really enjoy you laid back, no BS approach to things. We’re about the same age so have many of the same outlooks on life. BTW, I enjoy a good cigar while riding or paddling my canoe….or anytime I want to slow things down. Cheers from Canada.

You are a breath of fresh air, Mr. Dry creek you have given me a new perspective on this cigar kick i just started about 2 months ago. Thank you. I agree the charter oak is nice. I just tried and really, really enjoyed a Rocky Patel vintage 1992. It's a $12 stick but soft on the pallet.

I couldn’t make you more right please keep talking about cigars cause I just can’t live without it Super duper video thank you 🙏🏻

This is immensely helpful, both in relation to cigars and as a principle in life in general. Thanks, Dewayne.

Verry nice Chanel, found it last Week! Greattings from Germany🇺🇸🙏🇩🇪

It’s cool to know you’re in Grand Prairie. My family and I love your videos and are close by in Wylie tx. Love the horsemanship advice, and the cigar videos! Keep it up!

I'm from England and love your cigar videos! keep them coming.

Such a wise gentleman and cowboy 👏🏿🌹🇺🇦🔥❤️🙌🏾👍🇺🇸love his style and vision 🌹❤️

Love your discussions around many things but especially around Cigars. Please keep it up.

Great video, I started smoking cigars about 5 years ago and Its been a great journey, always learning, always trying different cigars. 😀 😊

The coolest guy on RU-vid. I'm a big cigar smoker and what you are saying is very true.

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please. I miss the days when new fathers passed out cigars that they bought at the hospital gift shop!!! I haven’t been to a hospital gift shop in years but I bet you couldn’t even buy a cigar in one. They were usually overly dry swisher sweets but we would smoke them like it was a good cigar!!

You have one of the greatest mustaches I’ve ever seen. My mustache is getting to that level, but not quite there. You give me inspiration to continue to grow it and not cut it despite my wife’s complaints. Thank you.

SO excited you're coming to Tennessee!! I don't smoke cigars but I still watch these videos for the nuggets of wisdom that apply to other areas of life. :)

Sitting on my patio smoking a Gurkha which I find a bit spicy for my usual taste, but very enjoyable. While I have my own supply, my brother in law gave me this one as a gift. A true gift because it gives me a nice little break from a diy project of mine. What I’m trying to say is that your video is so very timely! Thank you Duane!

I don't ride, and haven't smoked a cigar in years, but I enjoy your channel immensely. Thank you.

Solid advice! Its all about the experience! Your videos are relaxing.

Thank you for another great video and all the best, going forward with the school! Bless Y'all!

Very good video. I very much enjoy how well you articulated the point that we should enjoy what we like & not weigh the value of a cigar based on a price! Keep up the awesome videos.

Well I didn't watch this for the cigars. I quit tobacco years ago. I came just to hear what you had to say. Your video on coffee kept popping up, so I said ok I'll watch it. Then I watched another of your videos. And I think that by the third or fourth video I said to myself ; this guy knows what he's talking about. I've been shoeing horses since 1977 and learned alot about communicating with them. Not everyone gets it. I like your common sense approach in every video. Just watched "God's round pen" and loved it. Needless to say, I subscribed to your channel, and will be following it.

this channel is blowing, great stuff! really enjoying these videos Dwayne.

A really good inexpensive bundle of cigars are the AJ Fernandez bundles exclusive to Atlantic Cigars online. They have three good blends but my favorites are the toro maduros. Exceptional construction, good taste and reasonably priced for a daily cigar. Love your channel!

Dwayne just wanna Thank you Sir for some great advice and wisdom keep doing what your doing, love these videos all the best J.

I'm glad you like the Charter Oak cigars from Foundation. The habano and conneticut broadleaf are both amazing and always in my rotation.

This channel is the best - keep the cigar content coming!

I’m glad to hear you talk about this because there’s some nights where I enjoyed a $2 Russian Cream Backwood from the gas station more than I’ve enjoyed a big expensive cigar lol

I bought my first pack of Toscanello Macchiato awhile ago. I tried multiple other cigars, many premium, gave some decent money on Cohibas, Monte Cristos, Davidoff's. 'Can't say I didn't like any of them, but Toscanello remained my absolute favorite. in Serbia, they cost $7.50-pack of 5. Great point as always!

you sir are a breath of fresh air in a world that has lost touch with its self

Found your channel New Years day, "Cowboy up" and really like how you present the philosophical version of the topics. Tried Charter Oak and Brickhouse and enjoy them very much!! Good Luck with the school and I'm hoping to bring my bride down for a week!

I've lived in Grand Prairie most of my life. Spent a lot of years in Midlothian, was semi-forced to come back to GP. Glad to see you in my neck of the woods!

Thanks for the recommendation of the Charter Oak Connecticut. Had my first today and it will be a regular in my box now. Thanks again.

I cant agree more with this video. I say the same thing about wine. The best wine is the one you like the most and the best cigar is going to be the one you like and enjoy the most. Keep them coming, I’m enjoying your cigars vídeo a lot.

I agree with ya on what's a good cigar ....just started watching your videos a few days ago....for supper this evening my lovely bride and myself cooked up your eggs,sausage, and onions on tortilla....added some bell pepper....woo-hoo!! Fine vittles!!...thank you for the videos....

Just starting out and enjoy the relaxing part of the experience of smoking a quality cigar. And like you mentioned it’s not about the price of the cigar. Looking forward to watch your other videos. Thank you.

Great episode. Most of my favorite cigars range between $7 - $12 per stick. I tried a $25 cigar or two and they taste like dog turd to me, but to each their own. It’s the same thing with beer, wine or liquor, more expensive doesn’t always mean better.

I love small cigars. Lanceros and Panatellas are my favorite. Nice and comfortable to hold in the hand and mouth and they often pack a ton of flavor.

Thank you for talking about this. Those are the guys who leave the cigar bands on while they smoke them. I smoke cigars for taste, not to show off the brand.

Oliva and Perdomo are some of my favorite cigars. I also smoke some inexpensive cigars that I totally enjoy. I enjoy a cigar and some good coffee on the back porch each day. Reduces stress and we have some good conversations with friends. Smoked a little quoram today.

Same goes for wine and whiskey. Expensive doesn't = enjoyment. Great wisdom Dewayne.

Just wanted to say thanks for the great content you put out and welcome to Grand Prairie. Keep the great content coming.

Love this video! I just started smoking cigars recently. An I tried a handful from 7-20$ but last night I smoked a $4 infused cigar and it was honestly so good 😅 still working on my pallette but I definitely relate to what you said.

Oliva V has been one of my favorites. Glad to see you with it. Spot on about price/quality ratios. Can be found in bourbon as well. I’m going to grab a Partagas Black Label since I haven’t tried it.

All the way from Kentucky I'm enjoying the cigar videos. Keep it up.

Have had a bad cold so haven't had me a good cigar in a week. Enjoy that V. Great smoke!

Who needs Uncle Sam we got uncle Dwayne. The wisdom and common sense calming effect.

That Oliva V is a FINE cigar. Great video as usual! I'd also like to recommend the Fuente 858 Maduro. Inexpensive cigar that is probably the finest in it's respective price range.

I’m happy to have stumbled upon this page. Very good content!

i think this is the only channel i've ever clicked the bell for

I concluded this after smoking the Oliva Serie G. It was my ‘holy cow’ moment, getting all of these different flavor combinations than I would have ever looked-for or expected (probably via the Cameroon wrapper). And when you see the price, and then you hear a shop owner confirm a lot of smokers don’t prefer the flavor of the G, I knew I found my favorite stick. Sure, there are far more complex and fuller-bodies cigars out there, but those are for different occasions. I like the idea of enjoying something that just ‘works’ and doesn’t always demand your full attention. Like good people. 😂

Good cigar advice. JR Tobacco carries Rosa Cuba in various sizes that I really like as a everyday working cigar. With shipping, bundles of 20 were in low $40 range last time I purchased some which has been a while.

Love your videos! Just starting to get into cigars a right now my favorite cigar is the Olmec Toro Maduro 6X52. It’s a beautiful thing!

Once again. Priceless cigar advice.

I had a friend who had a relative from Cuba coming for a visit and he brought me a box of Partagus cigars from Havana. They were incredible. I got them for $100 for the box. They were so soft and moist. Wish I could get another box.

I am in North, AL very close to Pulaski, I hope to maybe be able to check out the school when the time comes! Awesome to have you coming to the area!

Fresh cigars that are stored at the correct temperature and humidity are key regardless of price. Shops that have fast turnover and a good humidor makes a huge difference. A cute, dark skin check-out girl makes the experience even better

Love the videos . Glad I subscribed when I stumbled across you a few weeks back. Love the atmosphere of the videos. I’m also in Texas. Just in the Dallas Fort Worth area

I definitely have my daily smokes and special occasion ones. But ones I know are amazing like a nice Padron 1964 Maduro or Plasencia Alma Fuerte. Love a great Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro, Charter Oak Maduro, and papas Fritas as daily smokes. Umbagog by DTT is also a solid daily smoke choice for me. Love these videos man!

Love the Serie V! One of my favorites!

I get Factory Smoke for when I'm doing yard work. When I want to sit on my porch and just chill, I like to try different sticks but my go to is usually La Gloria Cubana Medio Tiempo. Only been smoking for two years. So I have a lot to learn and a lot of sticks to try out.

you are speaking the truth..factory smokes were the first bundles that I purchased now I have a Coolidor full of a wide range of brands at different prices. I usually have a "good" one in the morning and I still smoke the Factory smokes on my breaks at work.

Drew Estate Diesel Unholy Cocktail is one of my budget favorites. I like full-bodied bold cigars and not only does it meet that, but it's a Belicosa with a large ring - another favorite. I buy them on auction for less than $4 each (more often $3.50 ea) and they please me more than some of the 2 dozen other brands I rotate in my box consistently. I buy mixer 5 packs a lot just so I don't have to commit and get to experiment. I support your statement - big money cigars aren't always better cigars - to you.

Great Job ... Truth. La Aroma De Cuba is a good lower price cigar and it's my favorite

Great advise....I do like the JC Newman's Quorum and the Brickhouse Mighty Mighty Maduro

You sir are a great man

Grand Prairie!! Lived there off of 360.. Now in Grapevine!

Great video. Thanks for having shared some wisdom. I’m a young man, I’m almost done my welding trade and I’m about to step into my adult life. In a few months I’ll have my money saved up and my skill developed, I’ll be ready to move out of my parents house. I’ve never had a girlfriend, but I’m starting to get past that interest, I’m begging to be much more interested in working hard towards a financially stable life style that I can sustain. I’m much more interested in saving up for a house & a car so that when I do find the one I can have a family with her. I’m significantly more interested in being someone’s father than being someone’s boyfriend of the month. I’m only 19, I’m nowhere near ready, but I’m begging to work towards it. Thanks for the great content it’s very nice to relax after a long day

Enjoying your channel very much. I always tell people to smoke what they like. Taste is very subjective. Something I can't stand may be right up their alley. Some of the factory smokes are great to smoke when I'm working or mowing, and don't want to risk ruining a pricier cigar. Another inexpensive good one is the Flor de Oliva. It's an inexpensive Oliva that's about $2 a stick in a bundle of 20.
