What cigar...

[DeepDownSouth]

Sorry for the double post

[DeepDownSouth]

Nobody ? Kinda hard to believe

[bigdawg]

A good budget smoke that I really like is the Oliva Gold series. They are really smooth and taste great, I get them by the pack and those are my give aways when someone wants to come over to smoke with me. Definitely not giving a new smoker one of my cubans. I've had too many people want to try a cigar only to smoke a few puffs and not like it. I don't mind giving away a Cuban to someone who really smokes but not to someone just wanting to try it for the first time.

The best.IMO.

Anyone have a good stick recommendation for under 5$
Padron Delicias hard to find.
Oliva G Maduro Special, this is my go-to short smoke, lots of flavor, but a 30-40 minute smoke. Very short. No need to age these guys...Much like the Fuente Short Story.
Fuente has a green label en Cedro, but I can't remember the name.

Fuente Cameroon Gran Reserva? They are an awesome smoke IMO

For those of you that use a tupperware container as your humidor, do you have a hydrometer in there as well, or would you trust a boveda pack to keep the RH correct?

That's what I do, I also put the tupidor in a cooler, call it a tuppicoolidor.

I like anything AJ Fernandez has his hand in. This is one of my go to sets. I have been able to get the set for $85 in the past. It MSRP’s for $550 or so. The absolute best bang for my buck yet. It’s an awesome set. The Man O’ War Ruination and Diesel Wicked are my favorites. But I love them all. I try a lot of different cigars, but have found that I can get them anywhere from $2-$3 each by being patient on that website. Wife absolutely hates it

As far as cheap cigars, I find it an absolute waste of my time. If I am patient I can even get some of my favorites in the $1.50 range. The last two cigars on the right in the picture above are $20 a stick. At $2.50 or so a stick with shipping your still smoking “cheap” cigars but getting a stick worth smoking.

Cigar.com has an intro set that might also fit your bill. 10 very nice cigars and a humidor for $70.

I am revisiting an old friend this morning while waiting on our storage building to be delivered. I just love watching the sunrise at the coast!!!

You guys post some cigar stands please. Thinking of making a few as a fun project and need some ideas. Want something particularly interesting for a co-worker who was very generous when I mentioned getting back into cigar smoking...

Thank you for the info. I just ordered the starter set

[yaqui]

These showed up a week or two ago. Had one before their nap. Paired with Balcones Baby Blue Whiskey. It was delicious.

[BowPro73]

I really like the Acid cigar, the Kuba Kuba flavor. Pretty decent price for the quality and flavor. They're like 8 and some change at Specs Liquor. Give one a spin sometime.

No pics. Oliva Serie O Perfecto that was in the grab bag I was gifted. Paired with some garrison brothers and an ice cube. Nice smoke, my first in months. Has a nice bit of sweetness went well with the bourbon.

Hey guys, I am new to cigars. My brother brought me back a couple of Cubans from Mexico, he was at a beach resort down there and picked me up a few sticks. Found out they are fakes. Anyway, I am looking to get a sampler of CC's to add to my small but growing box. Can anyone help me out or point me in the right direction?

I’m sure someone will be able to help you out here - online CC purchases can be difficult when you’re not really sure what you like yet. Hard to find samplers.

I’m sure you’ll be looking for a larger humidor here pretty soon. Haha.

My father is a big cigar lover and I got him a "LA AURORA PREFERIDOS SAPPHIRE CONNECTICUT SHADE #2" last year and grabbed one for myself. Very nice!

+1 for Fink's, they have three humidors around SA.


Club Humidor is another, they also have a few stores throughout SA.



I have never been, but I have heard good reviews for Redland Cigars.

Thank you for the info. Bosses Box is almost finished. Gunna fill it up.

Queen B and a miller lite to start my time off, and it’s my birthday week. Saving a gifted Cuban and a couple opus x for later this week. I’m a huge Fuente fan, and opus x are my favorites by far.

Your welcome! I love a good win! I try to wait until I can bid on two or three and save money on the shipping.

Those of you that have had real Cubans before what did y’all think? I had one when I was up in Canada a few months ago and didn’t really think they were all that they are cracked up to be. Personally I think you can find better smokes in the states for a third of the price.

There are good and bad in all. Take a wife for instance, pick the wrong one and...well you know, but pick the right one and all is awesome.

First ever Cuban cigar to celebrate the start of my 35th trip around the sun. Not a bad birthday breakfast with my coffee.

One of my all time favs. Wish it was easy to get more. This was a gift.

Guess maybe I'll have this along with some Tomatin single malt this evening and turn on some Xmas music. Don't have these Debonairs very often at $15 a stick but they sure good with my Scotch. These are a good 1-1/2 hour smoke which should equal out to at least 3 healthy libations. I will sleep good tonight.

[ace340cs]

Good deal!!!

Starting off with a Double Chateau Fuente

[Brazos Hunter]

I had to dig deep for both the thread and the cigar.

Ezra Zion Knife fight while the kiddo naps. Tasty but overpriced novelty IMHO. Did a split, got two @ $14 a piece. Way more than my usual spend for anything but an opus x so I’m being overly critical I’m sure.
