Cigar smokers
« on: June 29, 2011, 12:38:25 PM »
I picked up the habit in college when I would frequent a sports bar/grill in Waco, Tx to shoot pool on my lunch break.  It took me years to actually care about what I was smoking. In the beginning price was normally the deciding factor on which cigar I would smoke, even so I could never stomach those flavored or sweetened cigars (swisher sweets, black and milds, etc.)  Currently, my preferred cigar I can only get at a small cigar shop near where I work. It has a corojo wrapper, Dominican republic binder, and a Dominican republic/Nicaraguan blend filler; hand made into a corona size.  I will also gladly smoke most of what is offered by the Oliva brand, especially if it is made with a habano wrapper.

So how about it, anybody else out there a cigar smoker? Got a preferred smoke or just what is available at the time?
The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

Monte Cristo Classic Robusto, or maybe the San Cristobal Clasico both of those have been my favorites so far. You should check out http://www.cigargeeks.com/ it has a great online humidor feature and a bunch of reviews, its a great site.

I HIGHLY recommend these.  I know that smoking something that looks like it fell out the back end of a Great Dane takes a learned appreciation to accomplish the feat.  It is far easier to do with the Sportsman cigars.  They have a greta flavor and wont make you pass out on the first inhale.

Those look pretty interesting loon, except for the part in the description "hint of vanilla".  Not saying I wouldn't give them a shot, I would just buy one cigar to try first before buying a box.

And thanks silat and kilo for the web links, this gives me some reading to help pass the time at work.

I do one very seldom...but when I do choose the Kuba Kuba made by Acid.  Very smooth and enjoyable.
