[MattACaster]

H. Upmann Vintage Camaroons

Most Romeo and Juliette's I've had have been pretty good

Cohiba

[.homewrecker.]

Partagas, CAO Samba, Punch are all my go to's, though I'll smoke most any. I just had Comacho over vacation and that was really good, as well as the AVO no. 2.

[C-Dawg]

Montecristo Whites and CAO Italias!

i'm going to Cabo next month for a week...gonna round up some cuban cigars down there and smoke them while relaxing on the beach after eating at Cabo Wabo !

I always liked Davidoff's. I don't know {censored} about cigars but I know I like those.

[MLattack]

Itsaboy's...

[Thrust]

Carlos Torano Exodus Silver are great for the $'s. Same for Padron 3k's. I also enjoy pretty much all CAO's with the Brazilia coming in 1st.

Where do you Merkins get your Cuban cigars? I thought they were illegal down there?

Me, I like Romeo and Juliet #1s. In fact I had one yesterday while we were golfing.

I also like R&J Churchills and the equivalent sized Cohiba (can't remember the name of it right at the moment). But those are special occasion cigars. Quite pricey. Around $40 for the Cohiba big boy.

Kentucky Gentlemen Cigars

 

My brothers and I are about to split a box of 25 of some custom made cigars from here. Anyone heard anything about this place? Seems pretty cool I can get a completely American grown cigar.

It's been years since I smoked but when i did I liked:

Davidoff, Gloria Cubano, Macanudos, Avo, Partagas.

A couple of things I remembered:

1. The Cuban cigars do taste better. It's not hype. I've heard theories like they use real manure as fertilizer instead of chemicals...and stuff about their "organic by neccesity" tobacco farming. I don't know but every Cuban cigar I've smoked tasted better than the best from other countries.

2. More money doesn't always mean a better tasting cigar. By a long shot.
As a matter of fact I'd say there's absolutely no relationship between the money and taste
if you're talking real cigars.

3.If you find a brand you really like, go back to where you bought it and buy a whole bunch. Because next year it will be a totally different tasting cigar even though the label is the same. As a matter of fact, if you bought the same cigar from the same year but in a different store it might taste way different because of how it was stored along the way and variations in tobacco used even by the same company.

4. Cigars that develop a huge popularity will usually taste bad within a year or two. My theory is that when a guitar starts getting popular, the company will spend less time aging tobacco and start using whatever tobacco it can find to meet demand. Macanudos had that happen for me.

5. Cigars stink and will make your teeth very yellow. Worse than cigarettes, which makes sense because a lot more burnt tobacco smoke is passing through your mouth per smoking session. Hell, there's probably an entire PACK worth of cigarette tobacco in one stogie.

To me Cuban's don't taste any better,than any other cigar. The thing with Cuban's is the amount of lithium in the soil means more of it is found in the cigar hence the more mellow and more taste appreciation you'll have.

 

I agree with everything else though.

Cubans are better, I have no theory as to why but they just are. I can't remeber the name of the ones I get in the Caribbean but they come in an Aluminum screw top tube.
