Cigar smokers check in

[Thorny]

I'm buying a box of my usual Don Thomas tonight, but want to try something different. What better way to choose than to ask you fine folk

Price limit is $50, so take that into account. If its expensive, make sure you can get it in a five pack. Not big on flavored cigars, except the occcasional Havanna Honey, which I already have. Other than that I'm open minded.

So let me know. Whats in your humidor?!?

Sancho Panza double maduro. They're cheap and very good.

Order from holts.com and they're $3.75 each. Local shops will charge at least $5 each on em though. I can think of two shops that carry them here @ $6 and $8 each.

Also:

Alright, looks like we have a winnar!! 5 pack is ~18 where I buy from, I'll report back with the results. Looks like they have a 9.25 score at famous smoke so they should be good.

Thanks guys :thumbsup:




GAARRRRRR, not available in any wrapper

Edit 3: Found it in a sampler, so I'll only have one shot at it.

lots of good suggestions...but i prefer drew estate stogers...

try some Javas or any of their Acid brand cigars...they are damn good

 

[MixMasterTang]

Arturo Fuente - Hemmingway's are good.

I also like the CAO Cameroon's too!. The CAO extreme's and maduro's are really good too, I just like the lighter taste of the cameroon.

Rocky makes some of the best. Famous has a deal going on. For $60 you get 5 robusto 1990, 5 robusto 1992, 5 robusto sun grown, and 5 toro cuban blend. I get mine next Monday.

Also checkout Fire for a nice daily. CI has for ~$65 45 Fire. I prefer the robusto corojo.

by far your best answer

 

[Amused]

Does anyone here like vanilla flavored cigars?

I like quality flavored cigars, but anytime I say this in front of a cigar snob, they make a nasty face at me.

And the only smoke shop in town that carries quality flavored cigars is in the ghetto.

My old roomate works on a port down in miami for royal carribean. Needless to say, I only smoke cubans now

I get an unmarked package about once a month with a new supply.

 

[broon]

I haven't had an Arturo Fuente that I have liked yet.

As for flavored, check out on line for Natural by Drew Estates, or Acid.

Edit: Cubans are overrated.

hope he knows what he is doing. probably 90% of "cubans" are fake.

I'd try to find a 5 pack of Ex4s or PLPCs off another smoker.

He gets them from a reputable duty free shop offshore. They are pretty expensive, but they are definitly cubans.
