Cigar Aficionados?

crazycoffey · 01:05 PM

Well, I'm Having one of the cuban's I brought home from mexico, I only brought three home, but I had a couple Montecristos there, and they were pretty good. I had a few Romeo y Julieta's a while back in Antigua but today is my First Cohiba.

Got to say, the build up is alittle disappointing, but overall it's still pretty good. But I've had some dominicans that are just as good. I think the Romeo was better, probably the best I've had if I recall it properly.

Anyway, Cigar smokers out there, feedback wanted, tell me your favorites and all that.......

Well, sarcasim is certainly welcome.....

You feel better now?
I know not everyone enjoys cigars, but there are a few and I thought I would put it up to see what other experiences there might be.

I wish I could answer this. There is a particular cigar I get every time. It cost $10. and I get the same cigar everytime because the dude in the cigar shop recommended it and so I get it, every time. I know it sounds lame, but I go to the same place in the back, and get the same cigar. I LOVE THIS CIGAR AND HAVE TRIED MANY OTHERS. I WILL GET THE BRAND AND SHARE WITH YOU ON MONDAY.

Macanudos from the Dominican.

Cool, would like to hear. I enjoy trying different ones, but there are always those "regulars" too. One of my regulars is the dominician Montecristo white label churchill, well priced and good flavor, good with a coffee, crown royal or a nice wine.

If I haven't tried your regular, I will.

a good popular, economic cigar. I think it often gets overlooked by "high browsers" but I like them. Started cigar smoking with 'em.

I read in cigar aficionado they are opening a new line of dark wrapped maduros or something like that. I don't remember exactly but they are supposed to be doing something new..... sorry I started the story without knowing for sure.

crazycoffey, please understand, there are very few things I would rather do than sit on the front porch and enjoy a good cigar with you. No sarcasm intended. Please understand, however, you must listen to my stories and act interested.

Awesome. I just really began getting into cigars a few months ago so I'm trying a new one twice a week or so with the regulars most other nights.

Recommend Cohibas if you want to spnd money.

If you're looking for a cheap starter try a Helix. The ones in the metal tubes for around $4. They pull so nice, although they do get really hot toward the end. I remember I was walking downtown between bars enjoying one of these and I had to get a steak shishkabob from a vendor, it was just such a quality smoke.

I like Dominican Cigars more than Cubans.

The key is the Cigar being fresh. there is a place right in my town that has a Dominican guy rolling the Cigars right in the store.you can buy a package of 10 freshly rolled for $26.
And the Humidor is the key also..but you can't smoke in Bars around here anymore

That was my starter.

Never had a cuban.

Montecristos are good, Olivas are good.

And on a day in my canoe....I prefer Backwoods Sweet Aromatic.

as long as I'm not surprised by a prison rape, or sex change story - you got it.

God gave me two ears and one mouth, so I can listen very well, and talk less.

I'm somewhat of an anthropologist, amateur of course.

My favorite Cubans are Monte Cristo #2 torpedo and the Cohiba Esplendido (churchhill)

I had them both in Aruba and the Dominican Republic.
