    Cigars & BBQ

    Hi all, Unlike traditional stick burner smokers, the lazy-Q approach provided by Smokin-It units does not chain the cook to the cooker for hours on end, consequently I suspect meal prep involves a tad less alcohol and cigars, but since I recently got into cigar smoking I just have to ask: ...
