Going to buy Cigars tomorrow... (page 2)

Cubans are over rated and usually stale because they are smuggled in and not kept under proper conditions. Buy Cubans for bragging rights and a good Dominican Republic or Yebor City cigar to smoke. Mav

I would stock some Romeo y Julietas, Partagas, Dunhills, and maybe some Royal Jamacans.The likelyhood of getting a counterfit or poorly stored Cuban would make them a poor choice IMHO.

I'm getting them mostly for a conversation piece. But I think I'll get some other good ones for smoke.

My choice,

Romeo y Julietas

Very good cigars. On my trips to visit gold morning in New York, I stop at a Seneca Indian tobacco shop on my way home. All tobacco is tax free. Example: Newport 100's = $22.00 per carton.

They have sooooooooooo many brands of cigars too! The ones mentioned above are good. I bought some cigars grown in this country from Cuban seed tobacco and they are excellent. Can't remember the brand though!

You can also purchase from them over the internet. Keyword: Seneca Indians

I'm at gold morning's now and am leaving for home Monday morning. I will stop at the tobacco shop and check out more cigars and buy a few cartons of cigs for friends.

I'm slowly becoming a afficianado of cigars...

For you smokers...

Cubans were real good, but a little overrated. Probably good if you bought them straight from a humidor. But most cigars shipped lose a little on the shipping.

I found that the Ashtons are the best. Followed by CAO (an Italian Cigar smoked on the Sopranos).

I didn't like the Romeo Juliets.

I also found the the corrona size is good.

My husband and I boutght some cigars recently. We were told that if they are not kept in properly humidified conditions, they will dry out and crumble in a few months. I am not familiar with humidors - are they glass fronted? How much would a humidified display cabinet cost?

Well, Cuban cigars are the best, but unless you have a connection (like I do) you are SOL. Non Cuban cigars, I would go with CAO, good tasting, good draw, good price..

Go to Thompson Cigars online for a humidor. They have good prices on Humidors. However, do not buy your cigars there, they are way too expensive. The Humidity most people set for their cigars is 70%. I use 62%.

My Cubans are next day air shipped and vacuumed sealed, so they are fresh. I would put up a Monticristo Edmondo to any other cigar in the world, nothing like a Cuban....

PM me your address, and I will send you a couple Cubans....

If you live near the Mexican Boarder in CA, We need to meet up at the Casa De La Hobanos Dealer in TJ. Rudy, the owner, has a great selection of Cubans and carries a great selection of Cuban Rum...I am going there this Saturday for some R&R.........

As I write this, I am lighting up an Edmondo....yummmmm...sweet

I have a cigar question. I was interested in trying out some different types of cigars a few months back, so I went to a cigar shop and asked the owner to set me up with some decent cigars for a novice. I can't remember what he gave me, but some tasted decent, some didn't. But they all had something in common, after I smoked one I would get a headache, sometimes a bit of nausea, and my mouth would taste like ass all night and most of the next day, no matter how many times I brushed. Is that normally the way it is with cigars, or was I doing something wrong?

i like macanudos and arturo fuentes, for cigars that wont completely break your bank ($5-$10 per cigar). if you want to splurge, opus x is the greatest non-cuban cigar on the planet, but they can be very hard to find.
