Anyone smoke cigars? 1

I went to the local cigar shop today and got my first "real" cigar. It was 6 bucks. Smoked it, took me about 45 minutes.
It didnt really taste that great, maybe because I got a cheaper cigar. Anyway, anyone smoke cigars regularly?

Yup, just about every day now. Started with pipe tobacco, but i'm really starting to mostly spend on cigars.
heres some i really like(and most others do as well):
$2.5-4 Nica Libres, Chillin Moose, various 'little cigars' from fuente, padron, LGC, RyJ, etc.
$4-6 - Padron x000 line, AJ fernandez stuff, A. Fuente Gran Reserva line, CAO Brazilia
$6-10 - Liga Undercrown, Undercrown Shade, Liga Privada #9(if you get lucky on price), Fuente Hemmingway line(especially the Short Story), My Fathers, There are a ton of awesome cigars in this price range
$10-20 - Low end OpusX, Fuente Don Carlos, Padron 1964 line, Drew estate unicos
Those are all very good cigars for their price range
Also, cigarbid.com is your friend. lots of good deals there
EDIT: also, what did you smoke?

I'll for sure try some of those. I can't remember the brand, I just asked the shop owner what he recommended for someone who had never smoked cigars. But i do know he said it was a really "mild" cigar.
Anyway, I've smoked lots of black n milds, and that cigar that I smoked today for sure beat the hell out of those haha.

No, no cigars.
I had a few good ones growing up though, when my stepdad came into the picture we tried to form "new family" memories, and one of those new memories was smoking cigars together after x-mas, never really caught on though.
I remember smoking one which said "Punch" on it, it was an $8-10 stogie, and tasted kind of sweet and smokey, not bad though. But I fucked my mouth up with suboxone, had cysts in my saliva ducts under my tongue from eating them for so many years, so smoking bothers that, but I don't mind being around smoke.
I have some homegrown tobacco curing at the moment, doubt I will smoke it though, grown just for fun.
Didn't Obama make importing Cuban cigars legal now? Wonder how those taste.

bleh. black and milds are nasty. I especially recommend the Padron 2000 if your looking for something more medium-to-full bodied. theyre really consistant, always have a good draw, and dont last all day. Plus you can get em for 4-5$ depending on your states laws

Some are good, some are shit, like anything else. Its never been hard to get them. ihavanas.com has been shipping them to the US for years, and will even send another box if customs finds yours(which it rarely does)
Ive only had about 8 or 9 different cubans, but the only one that impressed me was the H. Upmann Conniseour A

I smoke a pipe like it's going out of style. I prefer cigarillo over cigars.
Waiting on some Cubans at the moment.

Yeah black n milds are gross. Id for sure like a stronger cigar than the one smoked today. It wasnt bad by any means, just not what I was expecting (very light smoke if that makes any sense, also really bitter).

not really a cigar person, but when I go fishing or sometimes for a hike during bug season i'll grab one. The only ones I've smoke in 5 years are Avanti Cigars. They are infused with Anisette, very strong tongue numbing licorice.
Love it!
Cigar aficionados will scoff and berate, but I think they are good.
I do smoke a pipe once in awhile too.

Occasionally. Had a few real expensive ones before. No tobacco has ever topped my pipe tobacco though:

How are you lighting it? Its more than likely just the cigar you're smoking, but lighting it evenly is important as well
Your best bet is using a torch lighter to get the end glowing evenly(called 'toasting'), and then taking a few small puffs about 1/2" away from the flame to finish getting it started.
matches/soft flame don't light cigars very well, unless the flame is yuuuge.

I do. Price doesn't coordinate with taste imo. Just like wine. I personally only ever buy acid line cigars anymore though because they taste chemically delicious. But most connessueirs will call them bullshit.

connoisseurs can say whatever they want, ACID is the most popular line of cigars on the planet. no denying that.
Personally, i'm not enough of a fan to buy them. But if someone offers me one for free i certainly won't say no

Im doing the toasting thing, but using matches, so that may be the issue. Took me like 7 matches to get the thing lit. Quote:

From what I've gathered, any cigar that comes from a liquor store is essentially dogshit.

I missed this thread? Yes, i love cigars but limit myself to one per week. Oliva, macanudo, and punch are my most frequent smokes but i vary. My last stick was a cao flathead 6x60. Extremely slow burn and full body with dominant chocolate notes. Good stick but a dedication!
