Any Cigar Lovers here?

Nothing like a great cigar after a good meal, or just as a delicacy late at night.

Post your favorite Cigars.

Some of the best I've tried, and regular brands in my humidors are:

CAO
Ashton
Padron
Arturo Fuente
Saurez
Excalibur
Cohiba
Davidoff Cigars
Dunhill
Gurkha
H.Upmann
Hoyo De Monterrey
La Gloria Cubana
Macanudo
Montecristo
Onyx

Romeo Y Julieta

Also list any great priced websites. Allways looking to save a little more if I can, since cigars get expensive.

And there was me thinking this was gonna be a thread about Monica Lewinski...

So you are saying you opened the thread to tell us you love "cigars?"

I use http://www.esmokes.com/ for my tobacco needs

I once received as a gift a box of 25 Hoyo Double Corona's. Not in the U.S. of course.....

A few sites I have purchased from for those interested.....

http://www.cigargold.com
http://www.cigarsaroundtheworld.com (yah yah...checked them out after watching the apprentice)
http://www.neptunecigars.com
http://www.jrcigars.com

Thats pretty much all the sites I've used so far.......

http://www.top25cigar.com/ (great site for reviews ect)

My kind of thread!!! About time. Just finished a H. Upmann. Onyx reserve is the best I had in a year or so. I also useJRcigars.com.

Wasn't to happy with the CAO extremes.

I have a Montecristo white I am saving for after my next softball game. 2-0 and when we get 3 we'll have more wins than we had all last season.

My suggestion for the guy whose not sure what to smoke. Try the samplers and or the five packs that certain sites sell. Or just buy one smoke at a time from your local cigar shop. This way you don't buy a box you don't enjoy. Also when getting a humidor, stick with a digital hygrometer and not the analogs. Analogs have to much of a variance of actuall humidity.

If you don't mind infused cigars. Acid has a Atom maduro that ranked pretty high with me. I give it a grade right under the Onyx reserve which once again is a great tasting cigar.

Aye.......samplers are the best way to go to try out new brands that you cant try out from friends....

Most every site has them available....

JRcigars.com is where I go 90% of the time..

If you didn't care for the CAO Extreme, try the CAO gold double corona....very good cigar....

I am lucky enough to have a place that can get me "special" cigars. I have a couple of humidors, currently packed with mostly habanos.....Upmann Special Reserve, Bolivar torpedos, Sancho Panzo torps (my personal fav).

For domestic, I highly recommend this little cigar roller from the keys.

http://www.islandsmokeshop.com

They have had some of the best, most consistent cigars I have had. Their Maduro was rated one of the best by cigar afficianado. Very reasonalbe too, only like $5 a cigar

From a few years ago but here's the qoute on the maduro's from their web site...

" In January 2000, SMOKE Magazine rated 57 different Maduro Cigars (a dark, rich wrapper) from every major manufacturer in the world... Our EL ORIGINAL Toro Maduro received the HIGHEST RATING of ALL Maduro Cigars - including Cubans! "

Enjoy!

Thanks for the link Bossman....I'll check them out. I think I'll try your personal favorite cigar as well (sancho panzo torps), and I had better like 'em!

I got a humidor, but theres no cigars in it, i just use it to keep "things" fluffy!

lol.....good idea......I also have one 'special' humidor


btw...for those interested in great quality humidors, check out these guys...

http://www.havana-humidors.com

Some of the best workmanship you'll find, and they are having an HUGE sale atm......I payed 2x what they are now for each one (I have 2 of the Mastercraft Classic Humidors and one of the Kilauea Classic Humidors).

For those looking at getting a quality humidor (dont worry..you dont have to pay out the ass)....here are things to look for in the design.

undertuck seals, quadrant hinges if you prefer a box style, dense, calibrated seasoned spanish cedar (this allows your tobacco to age properly), air pass trays, a very good quality transparent finish to let the wood grain show through and nice hardware.

Alot of humidors you have seen, or WILL see are made by companies that also use them as jewelry boxes ect.....you really need to go with a quality craftmanship company like Havana, or Elie Bleu that make them specifically for cigars.

Some starter kits from accomplished and upstanding places like http://www.JRcigars.com are good for the casual smoker, or if you remove them quite often and dont age any of them. But I beleive in getting quality. They really aren't expensive. You can get a very good one from havana for $150 or less that will hold over 100 cigars.

Hope this helps any of you that are just starting, or just curious.
