ATOT Cigar Smokers, Chime in!

[acemcmac]

1) What are your favorite smokes?
2) Do you have a humidor?
3) Do you buy online or do you have a favorite shop?
4) If you go to a shop, what's it like?
5) Where do you usually do your smoking?

As for myself,

Big fan of La Gloria Cubana, Partagas Black and El Rey de Mundo.

I do not have a humidor because I'd be going through my cigars like a kid goes through candy if I ever had that many sitting around, as I do on vacations...

I buy from a local shop that has a really nice lounge in the back, and lots of good people from all walks of life. I've gotten a lot of great consulting jobs through them.

I like smoking outside and only make exceptions for extreemly well ventilated places like my cigar lounge. Nothing is more relaxing than a cigar smoke, a scotch and a sunset...

Favorite smokes are Cohibas. I also like Gurkha's.

I do have a humidor, but it's a small one that hold maybe 20 cigars.

I buy both online and from a shop. There are a couple local shops I go to. I perfer one over the other because it also sells shisha that I smoke as well.
Online, I buy from www.cigarsinternational.com

The shops I go to are small. One of them is actually in a mall, and the other is in a shopping center.

I havent had a good cigar in about a month though due to the nasty humidity and hot weather outside.


I like smoking my cigars with a nice cognac like Remy Martin XO. Sometimes, I just smoke them with a couple beers or a cheaper cognac.

I buy almost exclusively online, though I try and stop into a shop once or twice a year to browse and ask questions.

I have a 40qt Coolerdoor and usually have 50-75 cigars on hand at any one time.

I smoke an average of two cigars a week probably, outside on my deck, with a Scotch and small beer or a heavy ale.

Some of my favorites, in no particular order:
Black Pearl
Don Juan Criollo <--nobody knows about this cigar and it's quite tasty.
Bucanero Full Sail
CAO Brazilia
Partagas Serie D No. 4

Just to name a few. I like full bodied short cigars.

:thumbsup:

I like Cohibas and Romeo y Julietas. Probably my favorites.

I do have a humidor and it will hold probably 50-60 cigars. I think I have about 20 in there currently.

I order from JR Cigar online usually Edit-Don't buy their no name brand specials...they are cheap and they suck. Haven't had a good one yet anyway.. A neighbor of mine sometimes picks up real Cuban cigars for her husband when she's out of the country and he will usually give me a couple...man, those are good!

I usually smoke on our patio in the back yard. The wife won't let me smoke in the house. I don't smoke much though. Maybe one cigar a month or so.

I dont smoke...

Shoot me..

Shoot me with your AK.

I hate hate hate cigars. Not for any health reason but because they stink worse than shite. I can't stand to be around them.

Actually, I think they smell really good. Nothing like cigarette smoke. And the smell doesnt stick to your clothing like cigarette smoke.

I have been buying Arturo Fuente Hemingway's lately.

And I'll wager French people think BO smells really good, too.

I HATE ciagarettes. Cigar smoke I can handle, but prefer fresh air. I do have a question though. At a local restaurant they have a bar with a smoking section, but it says NO PIPES OR CIGARS! Why? Is it because they have a powerful smell? Or because often people fill pipes and cigars with illegal substances?

I remember smoking a cigar in my dress shirt a couple summers ago and after having it dry cleaned I could still smell the faint smell of cigar smoke in the shirt the next time I wore it. It smelled good actually but then it was a good cigar I smoked. :thumbsup:

Cigar and pipe smoke is a lot thicker than whispy cigarette smoke. It tends to hang in the air.

Interesting, I have never ever noticed this phenomenon. Then again, of all of my dry-clean only clothes, I only ever smoke cigars in my tweed blazer/smoking jacket.

So it is probably more for the benefit of the patrons in the non-smoking section than for those in the smoking section?

This was a 100% cotton button down shirt, which I much prefer to the polyester blends.

it'll be for the benefit of the whole restaraunt. Those little partitions and slightly different ceiling heights will be powerless against a good cigar. Unless the bar has really good ventilation, the whole restaraunt will smell like it

 

[new2AMD]

Montecristo #2
La Gloria Cubana

 

[Vegitto]

What would you guys recommend for someone who's always been smoking those small Havana's? Nothing too expensive, but a nice, thick, full bodied cigar. My grandfather's birthday's coming up real soon.

I prefer Swisher sweets perfectos. Havatampa Jewels are also very good.
