I've only has several, but I have to say by far my favorite so far is a perdomo lot 23 natural robusto I got from a sampler. Please share your favorites or some to steer clear of.

maybe twice a year or something.

Don't really keeped track of the names. Also, in France they actually sell cubans :D.

It's too costy to spend more on it. I mean, puff you just smoked 15$.

Unfortunately for us in the US Cubans go for at least $50 each if you can find them. But from what I've heard a lot of the top brands now make cigars just as good.

Yeah, quality wise, I don't think you lose out. Expecially since the cuban brands don't innovate anymore.

But do you have an humidor, or do you have a nice place to buy them just before a smoke?

I actually did get a small one on sale for $30 that included some solution and a hygrometer. I figured id protect my small investment since I don't smoke them that much either. Maybe once or twice a month when im out with some friends.
I like ordering all my stuff online too :) saves me sales tax, and generally cheaper than in a brick and mortar store.

Nah I usually smoke them alone, to fully enjoy them (and because none of my friends smoke cigars).

Cigarettes are great, of course. You can actually inhale the smoke to get a proper nicotine hit and they last a reasonable short length of time. Rather than sticking a ridiculous phallic object in your mouth for several hours just so you can see what burning leaves tastes like.

It's hard to get addicted to smoking cigars.

Mostly because of their price, and because you need a long timeframe to finish one.

How was that?

Post by: Djuzuh on Fri, 01 June 2012, 02:19:44

It was very nice. A bit too strong on my taste, but just a little bit.

Unfortunually I had already 3 glasses in my bloodstream so I couldn't fully enjoy it. But It was still a very nice experience.
