deimos Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Flor de Rafael Gonzales Lonsdale mmmmm (cuban, but awesome) Otherwise for en everyday smoke, I have never, ever, ever had a single bad cigar from Don Tomas. They are not expensive at all, honduran, handmade and excellent. I highly recommend them. We get cubans in canada and Ive had lots, I would say 75% of them had terrible draws (bought from good cigar shops) and cost over $25 each...waste of money You can get a box of Don Tomas for ~$80....

andrew.anderson Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 In the summer I tend to have more. +1, I like cigars but not enough to stand in the cold to smoke one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ex-ma hole Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 Funny you mention that....the other night my Wife was at work, my little one was in bed, and for NH in March, we were having a heat wave- it was a whopping 42 out! I put on a hat, coat and gloves, lit a smoke, grabbed a tennis ball, and relaxed for about 20 minutes. It was great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morrisok Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I prefer Partagas Serie P No 2 and about anything from Cuaba (made in Romeo y Julieta factory in Habana) but much less expensive. Andrew Andersen, you cant get the Cohibas' made in Cuba legally in the US but they do sell the Cohibas' that are made in the DR or Honduras. Albeit there not as good as the Cubans. My brother inlaw works as the Partagas factory in Centro Habana and brings home cigars that dont pass inspection for retail sale. I had my share on our last trip back to visit family.

Gire Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'll post up my humidor soon... it's pretty full of Cuban goodness, as I am a lucky Canadian who has no trade issues with Cuba! If I'm going to spend money, I usually buy Monte #3's and if I want to save some money I go with a nice R&J. But I was given a box of Cohiba Siglo 2's about 4 years back and still have some. The Siglo 2 is too much smoke and flavor for me and I usually give them away as re-gifts, seeing as they are over $40.00 per cigar. The funny thing is that I don't smoke anymore... I've cut out all forms of cigar and cigarillo smoking as of about a year ago, now I just have this nice humidor sitting around waiting for friends to come over! Yay for no embargo's!

SpecBee Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 Got a new favorite! Anyone excited about the new dealings with Cuba and the possibility of an end to the Embargo and a flood of Cuban cigars in the US market? http://www.jrcigars.com/graphics/cig-vt/SLGBE3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest heightsgtltd Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah I have been thinking about that too. Plus I would love to be able to fly direct to Cuba.. I haven't had a cigar in a while..this thread has me jonesing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a cigar in a while..this thread has me jonesing.. Yes, me too. I've had about 6 Cuban Cigars in my life and one or two I really enjoyed. The others did not do much for me. I think that most of the hype about Cubans is due to the legality of acquiring them kinda like naughty sex. I'm hoping that the flood of cuban cigars will drive down the cost of all cigars plus the additional variety will be enjoyable as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had a cigar in a while..this thread has me jonesing.. I started again, my friend. I was worried about health/ life insurance and it made me quit for a year, but I'm back on it again! Come up to Vancouver and we'll have a Cuban cigar smoke storm. Much to Mrs Gire's dismay. Edit- this offer is open to anyone coming up to my neck of the woods!
