Who else enjoys a good cigar?

[JohnCU]

I just started smoking cigars about a month ago. I absolutely hate cigarettes, but my friend took me to this place that had a walk-in humidor and you could get a cup of coffee and sit down and smoke your cigar after you purchased it. My first was a CAO Soprano Edition. My favorite right now though is a Dunhill.

I need to buy a humidor so I can store them without them drying out. Nothing beats a cup of coffee and a good cigar.

ive nevr smoked a thing in my life. but i do want to try smoking a cigar one of these days, among other things not including cigarettes.

I don't really like cigarettes or cigars.

 

[mindmaniac]

Never smoked anything either like many others. I've always wanted to try a cigar though with some scotch, but I just know I'll look like a fool coughing up a storm on my first puff and look like an idiot.

Smoking cigars is like inhaling hot ash.

I enjoy a cigar once in a while. Typically a darker macanudo or romeo y julieta.

You aren't supposed to inhale.

Edit:

To the OP, yes on occasion.

I know you are not supposed to inhale. I meant when you suck the smoke into your mouth, you get bits of hot ash.

I certainly enjoy a good cigar. I don't really have a favorite, I just walk in one of the few specialty shops around here and ask for suggestions.

I smoke one every 2-3 days... I don't have a favorite... I smoke flavored ones, ie. Backwoods... I wonder how bad it is compared to cigarettes? Say smoking one Backwoods cigar a day would be the equivalent of how many cigarettes a day? Take into consideration that we don't inhale cigars...

I do once or twice a month in the winter, a bit more when its nice outside. I started with Macanudo's which are fairly mild, and have tried a bunch others since. If you liked the CAO try an Upman(sp) which is one of the clasic brands that are normally very good smokes, and similar in intensity. I have started trying some of the darker cigars recently which I do like, but have yet to find a favorite brand. I have 2 humidors, one with the dailly smokes, and another I built myself out of a canadian whisky box that I am using to age some. I have a box of 8 year old Macanudo's and another box of the gold lable Mac's, and I just got a box of ONYX for christmas to put in the humidor.

If there is someone new wanting to try a cigar, and is not a smoker, I always recomend a Macanudo. Reasonable price, good quality, fairly mild (so you wont be puking an hour later) but still very good taste.

Try Remy Extra with a good cigar and you will be drinking less coffee with your cigars.

Couldn't agree more. I can't stand cigar smell.

 

[apologetic]

Congrats, welcome to the dark side!

Try the following also:
Romeo and Julieta
Macanudo (my favorite)
Montecristo
Hupmann

There is much more nicotine in the average cigar than the average cigarette.

Coming from an American, that's too funny

"I don't smoke cigarettes, they are gross, I smoke weed."

I know that, but would nicotine harm me as much as if I was smoking cigarettes since you inhale cigarettes? And how many cigarettes make up for a cigar? 5-6?

 

[Unheard]

I enjoy a good cigar when I'm drinking. I cannot stand cigarettes. In any given month, I may smoke 2 cigars.

these are great cigars, macanudos to me are better than cubans...so smooth and the flavor is aweseom.

i am not really into the real robust ones, like the after dinner cigars....
