Cigars!

Recommended Posts

I've been smoking cigars for a few years now, but have limited experience as I limit myself to one or two a year. I was hoping I could get some advice from the good people on this forum, like brand of cigar you smoke, and how would you describe it?

Uhh, you could ask Bill Clinton or maybe Monica??

FFF



in THAT case, the cigar does not matter nearly as much as the flavoring that is added....:D

My God man! What were you thinking?! You will get all sorts advice...;)

When I did smoke, I enjoyed Dunhills. As I'm not a cigar expert, I couldn't tell you where they rank in the realms of cigar-dom or Clinton's world, but they were a good smoke.
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh

Make light!

Go up to Canada and get yourself some genuine Havanas. I found out that the fuss and reputation was justified...truly a fine smoke.

Don't let USCS know if you bring them back with you tho.

I bought a couple in Korea just to see about "the fuss." I'm not really into cigars so it was a lot like the time I sampled a $150 bottle of champagne. It was certainly differen't from the cheap ones.....but I still didn't really like it. :S I'll stick to Marlboro Lights...

I've found a lot of the good Dominican cigars to be just as good or better than cubans. There's a cigar of the month club I used to belong to on the web somewhere. It's like $20/month and they send you 3-4 cigars each month. Very good cigars. You're getting them at a discount because they're hoping you'll buy a couple of cases of the ones that you like.

Just get an inexpensive acrylic humidor and stick them in there. Like wine, a lot of cigars get better as they age as long as you store them properly.

'Struth.

A lot of the experts left Cuba after the revolution and smuggled prime seeds with them. They settled in Honduras or the Dominican Republic.

I have smoked cigars since 1965 and couldn't wait to get to Canada and get a "real" Cuban cigar. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered they were no better than the fine cigars I had always smoked. So I asked some old Cubanos at a small cigar factory in Key West and was told about the mass exit and the smuggling.

The old boy said the thought of "Cuban cigars" made him and his pals laugh because they knew all the real experts had long ago left Cuba. All Comrade Fidel has left are the great tobaccos, but they have even been degraded, because the people who really know how to tend them are now elsewhere in the Caribbean.

Give lme a good Onyx, Partegas, or H. Uppman any day.

Faster horses, younger women, older whiskey, more money.

Why do they call it "Tourist Season" if we can't shoot them?
