Title: a good cigar
Post by: Dingbat on March 14, 2004, 08:01:42 AM

Nothing like sitting back puffing on a nice Cuban cigar given to me as a gift from my Russian In-laws on the way back from a trip to Costa Rica.

One down 24 to go :D

Life is good

NO arguement here, I love them both.  I think it's more a forbidden fruit kinda thing :)

IIRC they come in #8 and #10?  Its been a while since i've smoked one.  I have a thing for Maduros, especially Astons.  The flavor is quite savory :)  they are usually a special occasion cigar same goes for the Cohiba Torpedos.

I'm not fond of Cuban seed cigars, alittle harsh for my tastes. Macanudo is my favorite at a reasonable price, Artero Funente when I'm feeling "rich".

Yeah, but the cuban seed in Domi soil tastes diffent than Cuban Seed in Cuba...I don't think the Cubans practice Ecological endeavors very well, or it just might be me.  The Cuban cigars I've tasted in the past didn't agree with me.

Finally lit up my X-mas present just now, it's square from the foodsaver and so whoopee good I had to search and post. (Yup, they work)

Padrion Anniversario (http://www.superiorcigars.com/db/Padron+Anniversario+Cigars/)

Was a good read. Droopy and Mr.Black captured in one post doing what they do so clueless. It doesn't make
 it more tastey, but it's funny. Ding, it's GOOD.

Be advised...The Department of Homeland Security has noted all of your IPs and will be "calling by" shortly to confiscate your assets whose illegal purchase has supported the Cuban Communist Regime.

Have a nice day.

I love a good Arturo Fuente or Romeo y Juliette. But these are my current favorite. Nice mellow smoke with a KILLER taste!

Romeo Y juliette's aren't bad at all, can't say I've smoked any of art's cigars.

I'm looking forward to my next trip to florida and my customary stop at JR's Cigars.  The Coffee/Cigar bar should be finished by now.

I'm a still waiting on a price from sandman though for tha Maduros :)

Cuban Romeo and Juliettes were pretty easy to get in Kuwait when I was there.  In fact, they were sold right on Camp Wolf, first by the Brits, later by a small store ran by locals.

Last week I tried the Dominican version of the Romeo and Juliette and I have to say it was actually a bit better than the Cuban.  Taste was very similar, the Dominican was a little bit stronger but they were pretty close.  Although I would never turn down a Cuban for the cost (about 7 bucks per cigar in the US) the Dominican version was certainly a great choice.
