Anyone else enjoy a nice cigar?

If so what do you like? What brand, and what size?

    I enjoy a cigar every now and then, but I don't know much about them. I'll usually just go to the shop and pick out whichever one smells best to me that day. I kind of prefer the shorter fat ones though.

    I started getting into it over the summer. I usually have one or two on teh weekend so i'm not an everyday smoker.

    I buy cheap cigars usually between 3-10 dollars.

    some i've found i've liked are the

    hoya de montary-1066 & excalibur
    Padron- 3000 & 2000
    Auturo Fuente- Curley Head & Hemingway
    Davidoff- i've only have a couple and i'm not sure what kind but both were real smooth and real good
    Ashton- again same a buddy let me have an ashton of his and it was quite nice
    Romio y julieta- i don't remember what kind of the RyJ i liked :( but i've had a couple and they were both okay.

    I must say that I've have smoke cheaps and some moderately priced cigars. While some has its' advantage I personally can't smoke the cheap ones anymore. I liked Swisher Sweets Perfectos, and the Honey Perfectos. I still like em as a time waster, and if I'm in a pinch for a cigar.

    The only draw back is that they stink when you smoke em or rather my fiance told me they do.

    A few that I could recommend is CAO Italian, it has a good draw and smooth and sweet taste when smoked. It last for about 30-45 minutes depending on how fast you smoke them. It's a good price and very affordable.

    Typically you can't go wrong with CAO.

    Now the ones I love to smoke are Kahlua by Drew Estate. These things are very tasty and smooth on the first to last draw. Like CAO they last about 30-45 but I tend to smoke them a bit fast because they are really good

    All of my cigars are about 5-6 inches long and are 50-60 in diameter (I don't know what measurement the diameter but I know the number)

    I enjoy a nice cigar once in awhile
    especially with a nice single malt or after a good meal

    favorite:
    Montecristo no 4 petit corona
    Cohiba petit corona
    Nat Sherman angler
    Bolivar tubos no 1 or petit corona

    basically, a nice cuban or dominican petit corona

    once in a blue moon I like a sweeter cigar with a nice maduro wrapper

    Hmm I'm gonna have to try a Bolivar actually. I've seen em in the cigar shop and they did look and smell good

    I like to have a good cappuccino with a cigar or a nice cold drink. Made a good coffee as well. It really brings out the flavors of the tobacco

    spicy, robust, flavorful...etc. very nice, yet very full-bodied, so not for the light-hearted. So, in a way, they're much like other gurkhas, except better.

    Now that does sound quite good.
