Current Events > Any cigar smokers here? Smoking is bad.

(+) Yeah! (+)

What are your favorite cigars if any? SMOKING IS BAD. I know very little but I like montecristos and fuentes. Anything you guy that isn't over hype and over priced like Cohibas and Trindads. Even good classics like grape phili's?

DON'T SMOKE

The only good thing about cigars is that you can take the tobacco out and replace it with something a little greener.

Why not both? Seperately but together?

I really like the maduro ones. Lighter leafs are just alright

Once every few months I'll smoke a cigar >_> It is relaxing

For real. It's a really special kind of relaxation unlike anything I've experienced.

I like Acid cigars

I'm a fan of Oliva Nubs- specifically the Connecticut, the Maduro, and the Cain.
I also really like the Oliva Melanio V

Alec Bradley makes some quality cigars as well. Their Black Market Esteli is one of my favorite affordable cigars.

If I want something a little more special I'll get a My Father cigar- specifically The Judge or La Opulencia(my all time favorite).

I came in here expecting an "mmkay?"

Disappointed

I have about 8 cigars a year. Have cigar nights with a group of about 5 friends. My favorites are ones around the $10 mark. Rocky Patel, Alec Bradley and Punch I find to consistently burn well and I always go for ones that are more medium dark in color.

Never heard of these but very intrigued by the different spice profiles.

Wow thats a lot to process for a newbie like me but I am going to try to sample some/all of these over time.

I like Padrons 19XX series & and the different Drew Estates. Tried some different Fuentes and they were good. Haven't had any Opus series, maybe one day.

There are a ton of choices and it depends a lot on how much you want to spend and what you want in terms of the light to dark spectrum. Recommendations will differ based on that. Mine were very much for ~$10 medium dark ones.

Definitely a good price range for looking into some different flavor profiles without committing too hard to a certain brand. Appreciated.

If you are trying to get a feel for cigars the best thing to do is buy some sampler packs from quality companies to help you narrow down your tastes.

I like strong, full bodied cigars which a new comer might find overwhelming. There is no right or wrong, it really comes down to what you personally prefer.

Some good brands with samplers are- Oliva, Alec bradley, Arturo Fuente, Diesel, Romeo v Julieta and Punch. These are just off the top of my head, there are many more.

Acid makes some quality stuff but most, if not all, are infused and I'm not really a fan of that.

Thank you

I have a cigar a day after work. Two on a weekend day.

Typically after work I'll have a Maduro Punch, or Maduro Last Call, which is a recent pick.

For weekends, it's usually a Undercrown, Fuente, or some TAA exclusive. I discovered the biggest supplier of Cigars in my state. And I explore about one new cigar a week.
