Just wondering.....I got into it in the Navy and I enjoy a quiet smoke every now and then.

My favorites are the CAO Brazilia and Ashton VSG, both Churchill size.....

Yes, I smoke cigars. I like the Philly Titans (Maduros). The price is right and they taste good. Once smoked a Havana Imperial and almost turned green. Also, was in the Navy and smoked Winton cigarettes while on those 8 hour watches. Mainly during POOW or aft shotgun.

My favorite is Cohiba Siglo IV, and my second favorite is Montecristo No.2 torpedo. A little pricey, but I have always favored cuban cigars.

www.cigarsofhabanos.com for authentic cubans. Have ordered from them half a dozen times and have always been real authentic cubans.

I smoke about one cigar a month. I like the Padron cigar. I also like the Opus X and Cuban Cohiba if I can find one. Since I don't smoke them often, I try and get good quality cigars. Yeah, I'm spending too much, but I'm usually celebrating something if I'm having a cigar, so why not?

A. Fuente Chateeau or Double Chateau for a nice, different smoke. And when full of beverage on camping/canoe trips and out of cash, Phillie Blunts peach-soooo nasty, they're kind of good! :green:

I smoke 1 or 2 a year. I've been in a rut with Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur #1. I'm going to try some of these listed above.

citizenal,

which ones are the Cubans? They don't seem to be priced like Cubans and they don't say they are Cubans anywhere I can find..

I used to love Cupido cigars (they were by far my favorite) but they are no longer being made. LA CAROLINA is supposed to be the same cigar with a new name but I have never tried them. (Anyone had both of these????)

I also get Onyx and CAO from time to time and you can't go wrong with a Macanudo Rubust. Some folks look down on Macanudos as being "too common" but they are always very consistent quality, good price and I have never had a bad one!

It's funny the worst cigar I have ever had was a Cuban! Another Cuban was one of the best...


P.S. Also spent 6 years in the USN...

Romeo y Julieta Churchills tubos or Casa Blanca 7X50s. I like mellow Dominican cigars. Will smoke Te Amos or rough and smelly Phillipine cigars when in the mood. Have tried several Cubans (Bolivars, Cohibas, Romeo y Julietas, etc) but much too strong for me.

Well, last weekend I dumped 4 boxes of nice quality cigars in the trash...

I've quit smoking a while ago and kept these as I thought it would be a waste. But Saturday evening I was having a glass of whisky on my balcony and I lit up a cigar... It just didn't do it for me anymore... so I threw the whole lot away...

I've given up the booze, finally quit the cigarettes but still smoke cigars. I enjoy a good Cohiba now and then but have to admit my usual smoke is a Swisher Sweet. They're available at the general store, don't break the bank and I simply enjoy them.

... I knew I should have put them on b/s/t first...

It was a closure thing... it had to be done... Strange thing is that even tho I know the whole smoking experience doesn't work for me anymore, the craving is still there... Oh well, I did plan on having a nice glass of that wonderful liquid from the Balvenie distillery :) (yes, I have to plan that, due to my meds) it'll be just fine without any smoke...

..ok Ravi emailed me and said all the cigars at the cigarsofhabanos website were Cubans -- how can they be so cheap and with the shipping included? I order a bunch of Upmann 46's but -- rats! -- they take only Visa or Mastercard..

..and, there is a "nuetralization" check-box option for "shipments to the US" (so they remove the identifying marks and bands) -- what happens if you don't check it ???

I see a few other places on the web that seem to sell Cubans -- any one know of a reliable one that takes Discover or AmericanXpress ???
