Cigar smokers

Any of you guys smoke cigars on a regular basis?

If so what is your favorite?

Re: Cigar smokers

I smoke a couple of cigars per week.

Nothing fancy though, just cheap-$5-per-cigar-cigars at the night shop. Usually my friend splits them with me, but he never smokes more than one, but still pays half... It would be way too expensive otherwise. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Cigar smokers

Lately, I've been partial to candela wrappers. Arturo Fuente's. My usual smokes are either maduro or natural wrapper cigars though. I just bought a graycliffe and that one was good!! Just not 12 dollar good LOL. I pretty much buy them in bulk (never less than 25 cigars/purchase) unless I am looking to try out a specific type.

Re: Cigar smokers

I'll have a cigar once or twice a year... special occasions only and they must be Cuban.
I have a friend who is from Cuba and his family lives in Toronto and Chicago.
He has them send him some real Cuban cigars a few times a year. Basicaly he gets a FedEx package with an assortment.
He then sells half of them to his friends and keeps the rest...
$20 for a Cohiba and $25 for a Romeo y Julieta (my personal favorite). I usualy hit him up around the beginning of Dec so I can have one for New Years Eve.
Occasionaly he will get a Fidel (Presidente) or two. Those things can last a day or two.

Re: Cigar smokers

I usually have one per week in the summertime. My current favorites are Baccarat, Duque and Macanudo. Cigars International has a great selection at very good prices and they also have "sampler packs" so you can try all different kinds/wrappers/strenght etc.

Re: Cigar smokers

Hmm. I don't usually have too many during the winter months. Wife says they stink up the house and it's too cold outside.

Some of my fav.'s

Carlos Torano--1959 Exodus Silver (Churchill)
CAO--Italia (Piazza)
CAO--Brazilia (Amazon)
Romeo y Julieta--Reserve Maduro (Churchill)
Opus X (any size..but I've only had one)
Ashton VSG--tasty little baby!!
Olivia "o" bold--(Oasis--I think that's the size)
Flor de Olivia (Churchill......the good "cheap" stick)

Re: Cigar smokers

Yeah the Duque, CAO Italia, Romeo y Julieta and Flor de Olivia are all excellent!!

I have a 5 Vegas Gold that I am gonna light up after I get done jamming in a bit.

One thing I really like to do is set a backing track with some slow drum beats and just imrpov some licks into it while having a cigar lit in the ashtray....hang the guitar and take a few puffs...go back to playing....take a puff or two...go back to playing....

It's relaxing as hell to infuse two of my favorite pastimes together.

I'll second that!! There is supposedly a study where there was a correlation with pipe smoking and longevity. Apparently the soothing effects of pipe smoking lessend stress levels amongst smokers and this elevated their longevity.

I haven't seen the supposed study but it seems plausible since rarely do pipe (or cigar) smokers inhale the smoke.
