Who enjoys a fine cigar?

Just wondering, one of the pleasures of camping is sitting with the DW by the fire and enjoying a fine cigar. My preferred choice is the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Cedro #2 but I enjoy trying others. Recently received a mixed sampler kit from Thompson & Co. and anxious to check some of them out.

Who else enjoys a good stogy?

Now you are on to something. TC Co. has great cigars for at or less than a dollar a stick. I love the Pinar del Rio camaroon amd maduro. Thompson's house brand, the Explorer series, are good smokes for the price, too.
I wait 'til they offer free shipping, then I load up.

Ashton VSG, ESG if I can find it. Rocky Patel 15th aniversary, decade and Vintage 2003. Sometimes I want something a little milder or sweet I will go for an Acid Blondie or Kuba or something like a Drew Estate java.

Had to give them up about 10 years ago due to health concerns. had lots of favorites including the Brick (bundle cigars), Cohiba robusto, Trinidad &Ca and the same last two across the river in Windsor. BTW did you know that Federal law makes it illegal for U.S. citizens to smoke Cubans even in Canada, as well as bringing them back. Still have a craving once in a while.

CAO Italia, Rocky Patel 1990/1992, and a few other everyday smokes. Usually enjoyed with 3 fingers of Lagavulin 16 year old Scotch.

We now have the E-cigarette - wonder if an E- cigar is far behind?

I'm a Arturo fuentes, Romeo Julieta and just about any hand rolled from Miami. My sister lives there next to little havana,and married to a cuban. Once in awhile I get a surprise in the mail real cubans. Have a thermador holds 100 but now I still prefered glassed or metal tubed. Best when traveling. If you have not tried a Marker that comes in a glass tube with the red wax seal try them, A very good smoke. A good cigar and a glass of B&B at the end of the night by a campfire is just pure heaven to me.......

I like Henry Clay, Arturo Fuentes 858, Romeo Julieta and Baccarat. I won't pass up a Cuban when on a cruise.

Me Too!

I don't get to enjoy a cigar as much as I would like and sometimes go a month between smokes, but I like Gurkha Grand Reserve and Grand Masters, Rocky Patel American Market, among others. My love of cigars is reflected in the quote from George Burns in my signature line as you see. I have some Llano Estacado special run 30th Anniversary Port that is just killer with a cigar and a lawn chair in front of the new 3001W! Enjoy!

Oh, I really hope not! Have a son-in-law that "smokes" one of those things and it just looks...well, stupid. Sorry if any of you out there use them, and yes, I know it is slightly less harmful than an actual cigarette, but really just looks weird to me anyway.

It may look stupid but I need my nicotine and caffeine or some people will really not like me

Really? Already have e-cigars? Wow. Again, this is just me so no offense intended. AND...they don't make everything around smell like cigarettes, considerate of others, thank you for that. Understand about the caffeine! I do CAD design work every day and go through s-e-v-e-r-a-l cups of coffee every day at my desk! The nicotine isn't craved, just a by-product of getting to sit quietly and enjoy a good cigar with friends or family.

I was a two pack a day smoker for a few years. Some time after I quit I tried a cigar. It was a fine experience until old habits kicked in and I inhaled a bit too deeply, too many times.

Apparently I can turn a very interesting shade of green.
