zakmatthews 14 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I enjoy smoking a cigars on occasion, typically when I'm either shooting, fishing, or camping. So far, my favorite has been the Vintage 1992 by Rocky Patel. You guys have any favorites that you smoke? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted December 31, 2008 Report Share Posted December 31, 2008 I am rather partial to the Montecruz by Dunhill... Ihave had many "more expensive" cigars... none seemed to be as smooth as the Montecruz... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

macbeau 902 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I got started on cigars in the military and had no problem getting Cohibas during that 12 years. I gave 'em up in '97 when I got out and couldn't get 'em any more... [Gave my Dad a box [50] of Lanceros for his birthday that I got in (smuggled back from) Zimbabwe in 1995 - He said they were a "whole nuther world - almost drug like" compared to what we get here.... I got spoiled - but Backwood have a certain someting (positive) about them... Different, but decent... Macbeau sends... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Backwoods, Swisher Sweets, Phillies Cheroots, and those Denver Sweets found in the Thompson's catalog. I'm a cheap date when it comes to tobacco. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
G O B 3,516 Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 HAV-A-TAMPA jewels, either sweet or vanilla. I will buy Swisher Sweets if there are none of the HAVA-TAMPA's but they are a poor substitute! Real men smell of cigars, cordite and Hoppe's #9. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Been smoking a lot of stogies lately for some reason. EDIT: If you get a chance, try the new Acid "Deep Dish", I picked a couple up last time I stopped in the shop and they are an excellent smoke.

Which cigar did William Jefferson Clinton (AKA: Presidential POS) use in his "meetings" with his favorite intern???? You'd probably have to smoke them right away or they would not stay lit. . .

patriot 7,197 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 You must mean the fish-flavored cigars. I believe they were called Cunthibas. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rd99fxdl 17 Posted January 3, 2009 Report Share Posted January 3, 2009 When i have time for them i like the A.Fuente Don Carlos or a Romeo and Juliet Maduros. Otherwise most Middletons or Backwoods are good for a quick fix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

schadenfreude 2 Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 What's the price range for the type of cigar's you guys are talking about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistician 1 Posted January 9, 2009 Report Share Posted January 9, 2009 Depends. I try to buy them by the box. Retail for the Padron 4000s (my weekly smoker) are about $4 a stick. You'll save at least 30% buying by the box. most of the ones on here (Punch, Arturo, Cohiba, Patel, Padilla) are about $4-10 a stick depending on the size you get. La Fontana is another good one to add to this list if you like a bit of a sweet cigar but still somewhat woody. Not like acid candy sweet. Big question is what do you drink with it? I usually do Lagavulin or a nice tawny port. Guinness if I'm feeling poor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaddis 1,689 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 I got a quick (serious!) question for all the cigar aficionados on the forum here. What do you all do with a cigar like an ACID Blondie where the foil cigar ring is actually glued to the center of the cigar (thus making it unable to be pulled off). Do you just continue to smoke the cigar thru the ring? Seem like an awful lot of good cigar goodness is wasted if you throw it away once you get to the center ring. That's one of the good things about cheap(er) cigars. Most of the time the ring comes off easy on them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ballistician 1 Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 That seems weird it's glued like that. Sometimes if you smoke it a bit first, so it's warm (not hot!) the logos and seals are easier to pull off without ripping the wrapper. Smoking your cigars without the logo is polite.

I'll try smoking it a bit first (no, not like that ) before working on removing the foil foreskin. Now, to let the fingernails grow a bit first (without gnawing on them) so I can get a hold of that foil f**cker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingjoey 5 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 +1 on Ballistician's suggestion. The usual recommendation is to smoke it awhile and the gum adhesive will soften up and can be removed. Pulling a stubborn ring off a cold cigar can result in tearing the wrapper leaf.

Saigaczech 9 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Haven't had one in years. Quit smoking in 92. I do miss my pipe sometimes though. The best cigar I ever had was in college right after big chilli breakfast cooked illegally in the dorms. One of the guys there was Italian and brought out an espresso maker (one of the old fashioned kind you used on a stove top) and made espresso. I got my highly illegal (dry campus) bottle of Courvosier cognac for the coffee. We then got a couple of cheapo cigars (not sure what they were) and went out with our cognac laced espresso to smoke and drink. It was snowing, that soft clean snow you only get in the south west areas of the US. It was a total sensory overload, the coffee with cognac, the cigar and the snow blown fresh air combined with a biting cold. Best start to a morning I ever had.

747mech 1 Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Now, to let the fingernails grow a bit first (without gnawing on them) so I can get a hold of that foil f**cker. Use your bowie knife! I like the Cohibas. Anything from club to siglio 2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
