I took up golf to support my cigar habit...LOL!
Saddle River, NJ
Right now I'm loving the spicyness of the Partagas Serie D No 4. I'm a Robusto fan mainly. I also enjoy the Ramone Allones Specially Selected, and it's cheaper too. I've got about 4 years on a box of little Cuaba Divinos, and they are quite tasty when I feel like a smaller cigar. Of course I enjoy the old favorites like Cohiba, and Montecristo too.
Only Cuban I ever had was from a Canadian friend who smuggled it across the border in College. Of course, I was an 18 yr old kid so I wasn't able to fully appreciate it.
I enjoy smoking cigars. Occasionally I will sit and enjoy a nice sophisticated cigar. However, my favorite are definitely not high end but remind me a lot of what Clint Eastwood smoked in those Westerns back in the day. Backwoods cigars don't take an hour to finish and go well with a cold beverage.
Quoted from spfxted:Whoa TZ68...I just noticed the cigar!
Thanks..that's my beautiful wife of 20 years..
I smoke cigars here and there, not so much these days though. Only Cuban though.
Scotch Whisky is where it's at.

Quoted from Berserk:I always enjoy a good cigar! Although I'm not really a smoker, I just hate the feeling the next day after smoking one.
that feeling the next day (like an empty pit in your stomach) is you withdrawing from nicotine, your brain screaming for more nicotine.
Quoted from coasterguy:I read somewhere the 1 cigar is the equivalent to 8 cigarettes.
Hmmm, could be. You should never inhale a cigar though. The nicotine is absorbed through the mouth giving you that little buzz. I only smoke one or two a week during the golf season, so it's a pretty light habit for me. I wouldn't even call it a habit I guess.
I smoke cigars. I prefer Maduros. Onyx is my brand of choice. Great taste and not too expensive.
I mainly smoke when deployed as it is a social thing for me. A bunch of us would get together after dinner chow to chill out for a bit.
Also don't smoke much in the winter as it is too but ass cold outside. I don't smoke in the house.
Quoted from coasterguy:I did not know that about inhaling a cigar. I'm a nicotine virgin... LOL....
Yeah, it would only take one suck of breath followed by a supreme coughing and hacking fit to realize that you aren't supposed to inhale.
Quoted from coasterguy:I'm a nicotine virgin... LOL....
Me too, cg. I've never even taken a single drag of a cigarette.
It is my only vice.I am a semi-professional singer/dancer/actor. Not good on voice even if I do not inhale.I haved smoked a big cigar every night since 1995.

Most tobacco shops do have those cigars but the bands are marked dominican republic,That's the only way they get by to the states.

Ever been to J&R's in NJ Spf? I'm up in NJ a lot for work and have been known to visit J&R's and enjoy a few. Love that place.

I smoked a cuban while in Jordan in the MiddleEast at a business dinner (years ago), damn if I didn't have the biggest buzz and get dizzy. Lightweight hand raised over here. 
Anyone a pipe smoker? Used to love smoking pipes but alas, everyone always thinks wacky tobaccy.

The cigars marked dominican republic and not made I Cuba. They are knock offs of Cubans. While they can still be a deficient cigar, it's not the same. I have 30 up stairs in the humidor that a friend bought me in Miami. I Jason have plenty of Cubans to compare them to. My wife is Cuban and her mom and dad have worked in the cigar factorys for years. Not the same.
Quoted from SealClubber:Nice. I hope you keep them in a humidor.
Humidor?! Whats that?

A big +1 on the Partagas. My favorite Cuban brand by far... The monster Lusitanias are a thing of beauty, but the Serie D no4 is a fantastic choice.
As an addiction, cigars are a close 2nd behind pinball for me. My humidor is currently holding about 700 Cubans and maybe 300 non Cubans. I should be good for a while
Aged cigars are an exceptional treat.
My wife and I used to visit Havana and Varadero once or twice a year.
For non Cubans, I like Padron (1964s are great) and the occasional Davidoff. All very different animals.
Sadly, smoking cigars in Canada is a seasonal occupation. I just finished a Partagas Short a couple of hours ago. Very timely post!
Quoted from Drano:Serie D no4 is a fantastic choice
