Do you smoke cigars? If so what is your favorite cigar?
By Cigars I mean "real" cigars. Arturo Fuente, Partagas, CAO, Romeo Y Juliet, Cuesta Rey, etc. If your smoking those backbar dry cigars such as Black N Mild then your not smoking a real cigar and your not an "elite" smoker . If you ever smoke a real cigar you will never go back to the backbar cigars.
The first time I smoked a cigar was when I was in college in Tampa Bay and worked at a store called "Smoke N Snuff" in the local mall. We had a large humidified room full of hundreds of different cigars. Your first good cigar smoke will be a rewarding one .
I'm just curious how many of you smoke cigars. What are your favorite cigars? Why are they your favorites? Where do you like to smoke a good cigar?
In my experience with cigars, most tend to be of a length where you need at least a good hour to smoke. I've had customers come in that would purchase a 9" or so long cigar, planning to go to a horse race. I've even seen 12" cigars, though no one seemed to have the stomach to buy one hehe. I can't blame them because most people can't smoke a 9" cigar much less a 12".
Cigars come in either Natural or Maduro. The natural is a light wrapper, and the maduro is a dark wrapper. These shades depend on such things as the light the cigar leaf was grown in.
Then you have the different strengths of cigars. Medium, Mild, etc..
For instance Hoyo De Monterrey cigars are very mild and strong cigars, though you CAN purchase stronger cigars. The Romeo Y Juliet cigar seems to be a favorite of first time cigar smokers (was also mine) due to it being a light cigar with an attractive leaf and wrapper.
I haven't smoked a cigar in about 2 years now. I plan on purchasing a few Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classics and Signatures soon, and some Cuest Ray Pyramid's. If you have any suggestions on what else to try, they are welcome!
