I had a few Cigars questions for Jerry and the rest of you Hogs.

I recently started smoking probably once a week. Its relaxing to sit back after a hot long day and puff a cigar. But I would like to smoke a decent one for once. All I ever end up smoking is Backwoods? I know they probably suck but its all I can get right now. Is there any online place I can get good cigars? I don't need Cubans or anything just a decent brand.

Also how exactly do you even smoke a cigar? Do you inhale or just puff? I kind of mix it up with both.

On a side note Dave Brown said my AD sheath is ready so I should be rocking some Infi very soon. Thanks for the help. You guys rock.
 
Look in the Gear and Gadgets section of Community. There is a 6 or 8 page thread just on the topic of cigars.

As for me:
-CAOs
-AVOs usually.
 
Rocky Patel old world reserve is my favorite they run about $15 apiece in the cigar shop, but each probably be able to get them for about half that online I'm not sure about tax and shipping.

the CAO soprano this line is also very good.

Probably my all-time favorite was a Gurkha flavored with Louis XIII that one might be a little hard to get;)
 
I think I bit off way m ore than I can chew with this Cigar thing. I didn't realize how big it was. Theres so many brands to pick from its crazy.
 
Don't inhale! Puff.

Stick to Backwoods. Your cigar budget won't cut into your knife budget that way. :)

I'm a CAO fan as well. I like the Brazilia's and, when I can find them, the MX2's. The CX2's are OK, but the flavor of the Brazilian and other Maduro leaf are amazing together. Yummalicious! Funny, is I find most maduro leaf to be pretty bland. But those two are winners. And a lot of what JR Cigars makes from Villazon in Maduro (FdA, JR Ult, Bolivar, Connies, etc.,) - those are pretty good cigars too. (Altho a ERDM should be in natural, not maduro for proper flavor.)
 
You gotta try a Fuente 8-5-8 and a Hoyo De Monterrey Rothchild maduro. Two my favorites. For a premium smoke try an Ashton Vintage Sun Grown.

Good luck.

I too am just starting into this......and what I think is good....might actually be Cheit......does a dog know what a steak is if all he eats is dry dog food his entire life?

I think some are good, but what is really a good cigar? Is there any easy answer?

I want a list of what to try.....I keep reading there are $5 cigars that taste better than $25...What are these mythical smokes?
 
tres nouveau riche ==>very new rich person.

Collecting fine knives as a work of ( usable ) art; pipes offer a truly fine examples of this, try make one on your own:D that matches the pieces out on the market or private collections. The tough part is that it takes years to find a perfect grain in a piece of briar; some may never find it in an ever tightening wood market. So forth and so on.
 
Padrons have always been one of my favorites. Acids are fun for that different smoke every now and then. Anyone else here ever try a Phillipe Gregoria Boa? Short, mild to start, gets bigger as it drawns down. Shaped like a Boa with a load of animal in it's gut.

Been WAY too long since I have smoked a cigar. Think I'm gonna have to start up again!
 
OK, $5 (or less) smokes that smoke a $25 cigar:

CAO Brazilia Piranha
HdM Roth Maduro/Double Maduro
La Gloria Wavell
Virtually all of the Toraño line should be under $5 ea and kicks every cigar's butt out there. I think they made the same pact that Jerry made with the man in the red suit.

Avoid Thompson's at all cost. Overpriced drek. You can get it cheaper at your local retailer and his cheesy crap cigars are 100x better than the cheesy crap cigars you'll get at Thompsons.

Their only good deal is the ones you see in teh magazine for 30 cigars for $12 or something. Those are always brand-names. You might like half and at the price they offer, it might be a good deal. Sometimes. Other than that, Thompsons is for the birds.
