Whats your favorite Cigar?

So far out of all the Cigars I've tried i think the best i had was a Griffin. It has a smooth taste and almost a clean taste to it, i've also tried some horrible ones primarily Garcia y Vegas. What are some other good ones?

for the cost, i like arturo fuente's and el dulce something or other (i haven't had it in years.) . as it is, stuff from JR's discount cigar store, they have their own brand, is really good for the price as well.

I have tried a lot of cigars including the one Arnold Schwarzenegger smokes exclusively. Still, I prefer Backwoods black and milds.

Monte Cristo Especials - Long but thin enough for a good smoke. Wish Fidel hadn't given up smokin'

Fuckin' expensive, bought 'em duty free and when I converted the Euro's I nearly cried...

PS: Shat myself going thru customs in Miami with a box, I didn't care about the hash I had 'cause that was hidden. It was the cigars that I'd foolishly left in my carry-on WITH THE BAND ON!

i think you're right mike, that griffin was definitely the best one so far. I think i would have pefered the robusto to the corona as well.

but for cheap cigars those punch knockoffs (P1's) were pretty damn good and like half the price of a griffin.

cohiba.

we´re lucky down under in that there are no cuban trade embargos preventing us buying quality cigars.

mind you, i don´t indulge regularly, so the odd cohiba is a treat.

I find myself going back to Romeo y Julietas fairly often. But bundy is right; Cohibas are awesome.

If I'm not mistaken, those are part of a series of "impersonator" cigars by Cusano. If you want some other reasonably priced good cigars, try the Killer Cameroon, Cusano Hermanos Vintage, or Cusano Corojo. Also, in their high-profile impersonations, they have the CC, a supposed recreation of the taste/power of an older Cuban (good, but not that good).

My personal favorite is either a Padron 1964 Anniversary, Montecristo #2, or maybe the newer Cohiba Siglo VI. Mmmmm...

So far, Don Diego has been the best I've had.

And honestly, I just don't get the allure of Cubans. I tried a Cohiba once, and it was just like any other cigar. Oh well.

I think whole cuban allure is the fact that if you got one you're haveing something you're not supposed to have so its scandalous.

I had a Dunhill corona one night that a friend bought me. Best. Smoke. Ever.

Found out it cost him $18 bucks a pop though. That is out of my frequent smoking range. For a relatively inexpensive one try Licenciados or Royal Jamaican.

But the Australians in this thread are allowed to have them and we've spoken favourably of them anyway.

Either we're being truly objective or we like the idea of having something YOUR not supposed to have.

Oh god, that is a truly, truly pathetic thought.

I typically go with Curly Head Deluxes from Arturo Fuente. Pretty cheap--about $3 each--and an excellent smoke, as good as many $10-15 cigars.

So while this thread has caught alot of cigar smokers, I ask, why do people smoke cigars? I mean, you don't even inhale, right?

Just a harmless question

meff, it's sort of hard to describe. From a scientific point of view, you ARE actually getting nicotine into the system without inhaling. The smoke you breathe into your mouth puts nicotine into the bloodstream via the walls of the mouth and throat, as opposed to cigarette nicotine entering the bloodstream via the alveoli in the lungs. Because the the mouth is a "less efiicient" delivery system for nicotine, the overall experience is much more relaxing and subtle.

Then there is the taste. Because of the high quality of the tobacco in a good cigar, you can "roll" the smoke around in your mouth with your tounge and taste it just as if you were tasting a fine wine. This is partly why its important to choose a good cognac or whiskey to complement the taste of the cigar.

Id have to say Green Leaf Optimos beacuse you can take the outer leaf off and re roll it quite nicely. The green leaf on the outside is thinner than a Zig Zag and it gives it a spliffy taste.
