Default A few guys who smoke CIGarS, LiKe WaTCHes and talk about NoTHING!!!

Hey-oo,

Wassup guys, just wondering if anyone around here smokes cigars.

Ive been looking for some new daily cigars to replace my Fuente Flor Fina's....

maybe something with a candela wrapper??

nothing too cheap, yet nothing really outrageous

I mostly like a mild to medium cigar, yet sometimes ill have a full bodied maduro.

im just lookin to see if anyone knows of anything decent...maybe something vanilla-ish





ty

La Gloria Cubana Series R No 6 is my favorite.

Run you 7-9 bucks in your average smoke shop when they are in stock. Around here they are really popular in the spring and summer therefore a little harder to come by.

5 Vegas Classic is my favorite med bodied smoke at usually $2-3 a stick.
or you can go the Gurkha Aniversio if you want to spend about $12 a stick. Both good, just depends on your budget

I guess I am weird for liking a 90, 88, 87 rated cigar. They also won the cigar afciando blind taste test a little while ago...

They are a really good mild cigar. As for Gurhka, they are also rated very highly. but it's all on what you like.

What brand do you like the most?

i like this thread

I have no faith in the ratings I have been smoking them for 15 yrs and rely on my palate .......I have never had a chocolate frangelica cinnamon cigar if you get my drift
I like Maria Mancini Magic Mountain, El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Largo or Principale, Camacho Corrojo, Padron Anniversarios, some various Cubans of which I keep about 200 at all times also for the budget minded the Genuine Counterfeit Cubans from JR

Cao are decent depending on the type......if you like cuadrado pressed cigars try the EL Rey Del Mundo Rectangulares about 3bucks per..Vanilla-ish gigars try the Oliveros Long Lady's-quality flavored cigars

JR's is good as well. I have been leaning more towards CI lately since they have been doing some good daily and weekly email deals.

I think it's just on what you are looking for. Thompson's also has a really good first time buyer sampler with Partagas, Punch, Gurhka's, Rocky Patel, Carlos Turano, CAO to name a couple they give you. It's only $29.95 to try some big names and some different taste
