Any Cigar Smokers Out There?


I'm not a heavy smoker but enjoy ( much to my wifes dismay) sitting down to a nice cigar a few times a week.

Lately I've been enjoying a box of ONYX Reserve, but that box is almost gone and I'm looking for something new.

So how about it any cigar smokers want to let me in on your favorite smoke. It's time to reorder and I cant decide what its going to be.

Just black and milds, black and golds. One day I will spend real money on cigars but I find better things to spend money on currently.

Only when i'm on vacation in Mexico. Sit up on the rooftop patio (so the wife won't complain about the smell). Cuban cigars are cheap down there.

Re: Any Cigar Smokers Out There?


I'll smoke a few a year here and there, usually on vacation or a night out with the boys.

I'm hooked on CAO Vision Torpedos. They are stupid money for them, but since it's only a couple of times a year that I will smoke, I'd rather have a nice cigar when I do.

The Punch Rare Carojos are nice, they only release them once a year.

I also like Sancho Panza, Montecristo #2s, & Romeo Y Julietas.

I get on a kick every so often & smoke one a day or so. You'd go broke making a regular habit of them.

Alec Bradley Exotic Maduro. Lots of flavour. Good smoke. Around ten bucks.

The CAO vision is a great choice. I've got a few in the humidor as we speak.


Thats how I started, thought it only a couple so make em nice. Then I slipped down the slope a couple a year, became a couple a month, became a couple a week, now I'm at about 4/week. Since I started smoking nice cigars I just cant step down to the lower end. I guess I spoiled myself.

I'll start this one up again! I like the Punch Maduro, Arturo Fuente, Don Sebation, Partagas, and of course Rocky Patel......oh and Cohiba. Can't handle a cheap sweet cigar. I look for deals on brands I like and choose small stix to keep cost low.

Re: Any Cigar Smokers Out There?


Used to smoke cig's about a pack a day and an occasional cigar. Cut out the smoking, but still smoked a cigar now and then. After a while just gave it up. Used to smoke Macanudos.

Partagas three pack sampler-very good can't go wrong. Rocky Patell 1999-good but I think I will try something a little better in this line. Anyone else? Siding isn't my only interest.
