Cigars

[arcenite]

I'm looking for a good bang for buck cigar for social use.

Whatdya got?

 

[BoomerD]

I'm sure Alfa will be along with some good advice. He became a "cigarist" a year or so ago.

 

[arcenite]

No one? 🙁

Oh--thanks Boomz

 

[xanis]

Alfa will stop by shortly I'm sure

For a drugstore cigar, I like Backwoods. That's not very impressive pulling it out at parties though :^D

You need Alfa :^D

I've had Romeo Y Juliet's and enjoyed them. Maybe I'll just get more of those.

ATOT is good for a lot of things. I am disappoint this time around!

ATOT is full of anti tobacco zealots that want to inflict their beliefs on others ;^)

I'm a huge tobacco fan, but my specialty is snus and nasal snuff :^)

Be original. Get a pipe.

 

[HardcoreRobot]

get some of the cheap samplers from cigars international. will be some duds in there, but you may find some you like as well. once you figure out what type of cigar you like, you can narrow the search down and look for similar ones.

SMOKNG GIVES PPL CANCER mmk?

 

[deadlyapp]

I double on the romeo y julietas. I also really like the rocky patels and partagas. Both of them have multiple variations, I couldn't tell you which variations I prefer.

define your "bang for buck"

Im a fan of Camacho cigars and i think they are relatively cheap at $4-5/cigar $3-4 if u find a rep sale.

 

[bignateyk]

Romeo & Juliets are decent for the price.

 

[sjwaste]

I like Rocky Patel Vintage 1992 and Montecristo White Label. If you want a cheaper, light/smooth cigar, it's really hard to go with 5 Vegas Gold from Cigars International (they bought that brand/factory)

 

[Fausto]

I enjoy Ashtons for a casual smoke. They are pretty light as cigars go, but by no means without flavor.

 

[oogabooga]

I'm a fan of these: http://www.cigarsinternational.com/prodDisp.asp?item=CS-GAF&cat=3

These are my personal "everyday smoke" type of cigar. Robusto's are 2 bucks a pop, it's cheap enough to give away without concern, and it's a decent smoke (imo).

 

[Drako]

For a lighter everyday cigar, I like Arturo Fuente Petit Corona.

The last box I bought had good draw and they are relatively mild.

 

[preslove]

Back in Florida, a local place had these 'Double Maduros' by Sancho Panza for under $3 that were excellent.

For a more expensive short smoke, Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Stories are pretty good.

Of course. Snuff has a long tradition that predates (common)smoking, and has had more users than that of cigarettes in history.

The only non-Cuban I will smoke. Well played sir.

 

[BurnItDwn]

I've smoked about 75 or so different cigars in my lifetime...

At around $3 a piece or less ...
Camacho has a few that I really enjoy, Punch has some that I like,

Romeo Y Juliets are a great bargain and quite a good cigar...

I also like most of the Rocky Patels I've tried


I usually order from Holts, usually trying various different 6 packs.. Though sometimes I'll order from their clearance or sale items....
