Any other Cigar Smokers here?

[Jugghaid]

If so check out the Padron 1964 Anniversary series. Had one las night for the first time and it's EXCELLENT!

On a related note, Castro looks like he might be headed out soon.........

[Inazone]

Count me in. There is a place on Ken Caryl and C-470 (Cuba-Libra) that has a nice cigar bar and they have a great house brand. I dont smoke enough to be an expert, but I do enjoy a nice one now and then.

I smoke em about once or twice a month tops. But I like good cigars. These are excellent, although they should be at about $20 a pop. And hard to find. I got lucky and snagged the last four the Cigar shop I go to had.

[takeout]

Special occasions only. I can tell the difference between cheap and expensive though - the first really sour cheapo I had taught me that lesson quick.

[Croissant Seven]

The cigars were the highlight of my Vegas trip this weekend. I like them alot, but I'm like Inazone, I'm not an aficionado.
I probably smoked 10 in 2 days this weekend.:cool:

Oh, and since the 3 of us are here, Denver meetup, August 13th, Boulder. Check HCBF for details.

I rode the craze for a while and still smoke one on occasion. I've got humidor in my office with a few in there.

I think my favorite cigar that I've smoked was an Arturo Fuentes Opus X Fuente Fuente. It was so damned good I thought about eating that which I could not smoke.

Opus are good.

I have some Arturo Fuente Hemmingways that are very nice as well. I actually like these Padron cigars better than the Opus I tried last month and quite a bit more than my beloved cuban Montecristos. They're all very good though.

Will do...........

[Inazone]

The best one Ive had was when I went to race car driving school at miami homestead speedway. One night for dinner they took us out to sea on a yaught. They had a guy roll them right there on the boat and the cigar was perfect. Fresh, loads of flavor and taste. :cool:

The ones I smoke are about the same size as a cigarette. Funny thing is, I can go out for a night and smoke 6 or 7 of them, but I'd feel uncomfortable with a big one in front of me. Bizarre, hey?!

[ModmanQ6]

I've got a humidor with about half a box of Dominican Romeo y Julietas in it. I also have the little ones too. The reason I bought the box was that I had a cuban Romeo y Julieta when a friend of mine's first child was born and that is what he was passing out. I smoked that cigar until there was 1/2 inch of it left and it burned my fingers.

I'm the same way. It's not that I can't appreciate a good cigar; I just get tired of smoking it after 20 minutes or so. I'd prefer to hand-roll a cigarette with good tobacco most days.

[basshunter]

I had a reply to this, but thought better of it. Things go downhill here fast enough, but a thread about cigars and compensating for size is just asking for trouble. ;)

The cuban was like fine chocolate. The dominicans are good, but don't hold a candle to them IMO...:(

Why yes I am, thanks for noticing! :D

[Jugghaid]

The cuban was like fine chocolate. The dominicans are good, but don't hold a candle to them IMO...:(
Most of the good Dominicans are grown from the same seeds and in a similar climate, but there are still differences due to soil content, etc. Overall, Cubans are my favorite, even from the same cigar manufacturer. The Dominican Montecristos are not quite as good as the Cuban ones. the gap is shrinking, but it's still there.

There are a ton of great cigars coming out of Nicaragua and the DR and other places these days though.

It's all tax. Countries like Portugal and Spain have very low tax on alcohol and tobacco. The UK, Ireland and others have outrageous tax amounts on them. These governments apply the taxes under the guise that it will deter people from using them - which is, of course, bullshit.

[niomosy]

I'm mostly a special occasion smoker. Haven't smoked one since before the wifey got pregnant, though, despite a few celebrations. I may have to look into those. I buy so few that spending some money on good stuff isn't too big a deal.

That's how I look at it as well. I don't smoke them often enough to really justify skimping when I do. I may start smoking them more though and cutting down on the cigarettes...............

[mnemosyne's lobotomy]

I used to like them. In recent years I started finding the smell increasingly repulsive. I don't know why, just turns my stomach now.

For me it's even easier. I can't smoke cigarettes. Asthma :( My asthma isn't bothered by cigars but I have a hard time even being near smokers when they smell too much like cigarettes let alone being around a lit cigarette.

Backwoods work better than Phillies. That's the only thing I remember from my stoner days. Most of the rest of those years are pretty cloudy.

All my friends like smoking Black & Milds and Swisher Sweets and shit. Those things suck. I've had a couple good ones, but I'll be damned if I can remember what any of them were.

Nothing like a good single malt and a cigar! I started that as a tradition in my family (though sometimes we do cognac)

I've liked their.... 10(?) year old. My favorite (under 18 yo) is still Cardhu, though it's become scarce in Los Angeles.

[Zamfir]

I only remember to smoke a cigar when I run into my two friends who smoke them.

Other than that, I'm too cheap to get the ones I want, so I don't do them at all, and my lungs thank me. ;)

Plus they're great at the time, but the bedroom ambience the next morning...ye gods. :dontsayit:

[NotFSI]

My dad occasionally brings back King Edwards from the Duty Free

They're like £7 for 50

They're fucking rank but smoking them makes me look/feel like a dandy :)

[mlwarriner]

i got into them while i was in baghdad, and found a few that i really enjoy. i'm a big fan of anything hoyo de monterrey, most montecristos, punch, partagas and upmann. haven't really sampled any of the high high end stuff (cohiba, some of the special run partagas, etc), but i'd like to. jugghaid, if you wanted to send me one of those fatties you picked up, i'd be glad to smoke it for you and report my findings :D:D

Ok, now that we know quite a few inmates smoke them, the next question is:

Do you inhale or just puff?

Personally, I inhaled when I was a smoker. Now that I've quit, I have had one of the small R&J's and coughed for 5 minutes when I tried to smoke one. That was about 4 months into my hiatus. Now I'm at 8 and still haven't smoked anything except meat since...

At least we can explore the inhale/swallow angle apparent to both topics :D

[ModmanQ6]

There's definitely a buzz to inhaling a cigar. I find that puffing for the first 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch works best, then it mellows to a really nice smoke and body buzz. As far as sizes go, I prefer cigars that are about half again as thick as a sharpie marker and about the same length. I have had the huge cuban cohibas and they were just too much. The cuban R&J I mentioned earlier was of the perfect size. YMMV

As I understand it, Kennedy was a Partega smoker and the story goes that the night before he imposed the embargo on all imports from Cuba, he sent his team out to all of the tobacco shops within a few hundred miles of DC and bought up all of the cuban Partegas before illegalizing them. Talk about insider information...

I'm smoking a Fuente 858 Flor-Fina right now. I love cigars, but I need to cut down. I was up to three a day for a while!!!

I client of mine was so happy with the way I negotiated his home purchse, he bought me a 200 cigar humidor & filled it with fuente's!!! He's a cigar guy too so he knew he couldn't go wrong with his choice in thank you gifts. :smoker:

Nice. I really like the Hemmingway line. Good stuff...............

[NotFSI]

mmm....Scotch

My fave is Glengoyne :wave:

[Jugghaid]

These are excellent, especially for the price. I got a box of 20 for $54.95
The mini Belicosos.

They got a 94 rating from cigar insider and are better than most cigars that cost 2-3 times as much.

Very good.

Have you tried them before?

I can't recall if it was that exact cigar, but a friend of mine had a couple of Onyx that we smoked at his X-mas party last year and they were excellent.

Yup. good good stuff.

[GrooveMonkey]

The Onyx Reserve can't be beat or the price! I've had cigars at almost twice the price that can't stand up to them.

I've cut down to one per week lately after doing the math on my habit!!!

I couldn't agree more. My absolute Favorites are the Padron 1964 Anniversary series, but they are rougly 5 times the price.

I just found a place to get Cubans online that will not only ship to the USA but they will guarantee delivery to your door or your money back.

We'll see how well this works. :)

Good luck with that. Let us know how that works out.

I smoked a Camacho the other day, what a powerhouse!

[Jugghaid]

The Camacho Corojo's are nice. Good stuff.

I ordered 4 different types of cubanos (they're coming from the UK and at a very reasonable price) from this place. It's a $165 gamble but we'll see if it pays off. If so, I'll hook everybody up with a link to their website.

[Jugghaid]

Kaching!!!!!

My cigars showed up today exactly as advertised. Hot diggity damn.

Its good, but I pretty much love any Macallan. Have you tried the Balvenie Port Wood Finish? Very yummy, interesting undertones from the port barrel aging at the end. Stands up very nicely with a cigar. :thumbsup:

I've not had the Port Wood finish, but the Doublewood is excellent. Matured in a whisky cask and a sherry cask, very subtle hints of sherry throughout but with a mellow honey sort of taste at the end. Beautiful, although too delicate for a cigar I would say.

Again, special occasion smoker only. We have a great tobacconist here in Bristol who would be able to get ANYTHING in for you. And of course, we're not limited to Dominican's or Nicaraguan's over here.

Hmmmmm, uni finishing in 13 days, I think thats celebration time!

dBM.

I will. I have a nice Balvenie Double Wood to go with them...........

:D

At least I'm not the only one wondering... ;)

[ronnie4500]

The last time I smoked a cigar, I got pneumonia.

Not that smoking caused it, but I haven't had one after that.

[bassesofalessergod]

i'll send you the cigars juggsy!

[Jugghaid]

You da man. These guys really came through though, so I don't know if you need to go through the trouble. Worked out really well actually and they are wonderful cigars. I'll definitely keep it in mind though if they don't have something in stock that I really want.

Thanks bro.

[basshunter]

I will. I have a nice Balvenie Double Wood to go with them...........

You're welcome. ;)

Really? I didn't know weed was legal in Canadia. Those silly Canucks. ;)

[Jugghaid]

That's some damn good stuff. I still think the Macallan is my favorite line of scotch, the Balvenie is a very close second.

Looks like I'll be out to Mass this fall too, so we need to have a Masshole get together.

Absolutely!!!!!!


Alhough you do realize that a Masshole get-together means about 10 people will say they are going to show, and only Tim the Enchanter and I actually will. ;)

That's okay. It'll be good to meet just you two if that's the way it turns out. I'm gonna visit my uncle and the wife has also never seen a New England fall (which every human being should IMO) so I want to take at least a week back there, do some visiting, drive up through NH and VT into Maine. I also want to get out to western Mass for at least a day. I'll bring the Cigars. ;)
