A refined pastime for a man of respect such as myself, this here isn’t for amateurs or posers, lads. I prefer Macanudo Maduros, Ashtons and Padrons among others.

There are rules to cigar smoking and the proper utensils are essential, you need a torch and a cutter. My recommendations are the Colibri Syndicate and the Xikar Xi3 Tech TPR.

I prefer clean lungs

I prefer 2 lungs

Aww man you guys suck. I don’t smoke anything else, cigarettes are fucking disgusting! But this here is a requirement for a gentleman of leisure. Wine, cigars, fine dining, expensive hoes, all the finer things in life. And besides my suit will protect me…

The Macanudo I had tasted like dirt. Padrons are very good...and can be somewhat pricey to some.

Outside of Monte Cristo....my favorites are Joya De Nicaragua & Jalapa Valley. To me the closest things competing with Cubans would have to be Nicaraguans. I'm a fan of Domincans also. Can't stand Hondurans.

~Goodz~

Macanudo Maduros are choice cigars, maybe the one you had was stale. Mac's are generally milder, but I prefer darker, stronger ones. Monte's are great and Cohiba's are a problem.

Cubans, forget about it, the best cigars I've had when I can get my hands on them. They last over an hour always.

I smoke anything that doesn't make me puke after 3 or 4 tries or maybe 5 if it gives me a decent buzz! As to cigars. I have travelled to Cuba a couple times, I prefer them. If you travel there you can bring them back legally up to $200. However macs are better than most cuban exports you find in Canada such as REATS etc. Most of the Cubans you buy in the carribean or south America are not as good as most Hondurans unless you go to a good cigar store which are ususally found only in big cities.
If I had my pick I would choose a Cuban Cohiba. The cheapest cigar I will smoke is Ambassador Grenadier in the dark wrapper.
The problem with cigars is where to smoke them. Its no problem if your living alone and single. But unless your wife smokes cigars it is very difficult to smoke them indoors without conaequences!!
If I smoke indoors now, I only use a water pipe with hooka tobbacco or other asian types that are meant to be smoked that way and other buzz like material.

Same here, I'm a bachelor and live alone right now. The things-things I bring over complain about the smell, but then they're just entertainment and aren't to be taken seriously in the first place. I may have to invest in a humidifier in the future though, it gets rid of the smell and cleans the air.

I used to have a hookup on cubans, but with the recession I'm not making what I used to at work. I'm an insurance agent and if people aren’t buying homes and cars as much then they don’t need insurance and that indirectly effects my bottom line.

Do you guys buy from smoke shops or do you order online? I do both, try Thompsons, they always have great prices.

Bulldogs are great dogs Jay... but SUPER expensive to upkeep. The most expensive medical bills I see at the hospital I work at are for the bulldogs. Just a heads up. And smoke definitely is an issue with their breathing.

Lol nice to see everyone again sorry i haven't been on in a while i hope ya'll are doing well and as far as the stogies go i'd have to agree with gar, jay and almighty love them cohiba's and partagas..... and romeo and juliets in a pinch..... but being from cali gotta love them scrips one who lives here can get from the local farmacia.... yeah yeah

Romeo y Julietas are what got me into the game, I'm sure ya'll remember your first cigar. Check out those links I gave, I swear by Colibri torches and Xikar cutters, they have some GREAT stuff.

LOL wish i could but as it is my wife would prefer for me to set a higher (pardon the pun) bar for the kids, as opposed to the one set for our generation of seventies and early eighties views....now after they move out is another story
