A cigar thread.

[Paendragon]

It's kinda like a cardinal sin. An e-cigar just isn't the real deal. No wonderful smell. And if you're gonna die of lung cancer, a good cigar is the way to go.

I don't inhale (insert Clinton joke here), so little goes the lungs. I'll settle for mouth cancer, I guess.

Really? I've smoked the Cuban and enjoyed them, but the rest have left me a bit flat.

Way back when I worked with a Cuban engineer that bought then all the time. They were cheap, really cheap, really really cheap. When I got into cigars I avoided them like the plague. Reputation and prior experience ya know?

But I was pleasantly surprised at the latest purchase. I'll track it down and let you know.

Please do. I'm ready to be surprised.

Moved on to a Tatujae Reserve. Rare to go for a second smoke in one night, but what the hell.

Slightly peppery, medium bodied, with some sweet notes which I didn't expect. Good though.

Rocky patel 1990s are good. So are their edge and edge lite lines. I also like Romeo y Juliettas though not the reserves. Those were harsh to me.

I've had a lot of good el cheapos (2 to 3 dollar range) that I can't remember the name of. J M dominicos are good cheapos.

Right now its too cold for cigars

Rocky was hit or miss for me, so I stayed away. The 1990 wasn't bad, though. That's the second Romeo recommendation in this thread. I may have to revisit.

I cant remember what Romeo I liked though. It was a cheaper one though. The one that was harsh was a reserve line. it came in a tube with cedar. A lot of people have recommended Gurkhas to me but they're too strong for my taste

Got my hands on a Cohiba 1966. Goddamn.

I have not had that brand. I will say it doesn't sound appetizing.

it's really not.

on a brighter note, i once brought back quite a few cubans into the US, with the knowledge and consent of immigration officials. it was beautiful.

Sometimes up can get lucky having them shipped in. If you don't mind the risk that a shipment can be confiscated then you're okay.

Do so. I'm thinking about converting a wine chiller, myself, but it seems like a lot of work.

I think I'm gonna use the gel tubes. She got it used but looking at it you wouldn't know but there's black spots on the humidifer sponge. I'm guessing its mold and I'm not sure If I can replace it

Cohibas', maybe twice a year, nice and smooth.

 

[Trace_Element]

I just got back from a short trip south of Florida, and indulged in a couple Cohiba's, a MonteCristo, and I have one that somehow snuck into my luggage, sitting at the house just waiting for me to have an hour or so to sit and enjoy it...not sure the brand...another aficionado at the smoke shop and I were talking and he handed it to me, said just trust him...we'd been chatting for a good 15 minutes, and hit it off pretty well, so I did...haven't indulged just yet...I'll make a mental note of the label and report back...

Anoranzas Grand Toro tonight. Great smoke. Earthy flavor. I got some cut grass in there as well. Anyone have any experience?

 

[HellBenttoo]

I have finally settled on my everyday cigar. Believe it or not it is a Thompson Honduran Thin. Just over a buck a smoke, machine rolled with short filler. Been smoking cigars for years but never any brand consistently. Even the pricier smokes vary way too much.

Really? I've never liked anything machine rolled. They're always harsh to me.

In general, I agree with you. A co-worker offered me one of the Thompsons last summer and I actually enjoyed it to my surprise.

I tend towards more mild cigars, Man-O-War Virtue is my current go to...also a big fan of the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne

First, damn you for quoting my misspelling. Secondly, I may give it a shot. If I could find a cheap cigar like that I actually enjoy, that would be epic.
