Who smokes cigars? Post em

[ecu88]

Brick House the other week was excellent but IMO my favorite was the Sosa Family Selection Connecticut that I had three years ago from the Downtown Disney.

The Sosa FSC blew my mind for the price it was at the time $6 a pop so gooood Jack. Slow burning with a diverse flavor profile.

Sancho panza: Quality Honduran 

 

Ever want to know the true quality of a smoke look at the ash. If it's dark then soil quality was bad. The lighter the better.

Ahhh fug Cohiba cigars are overrated. Tasted like a cheap stick from one those run down gas pump stations. Time to pull a Romeo y Juileta to correct my course for the night

yeah i'm not a cohiba guy at all. they get a big rep for being one of the major international labels to sell cubans, but i've never found their smokes particularly enjoyable.

still leaning heavy on the AFs, but i had a cigar rep hand me an oliveros no. 2, which was one of the most enjoyable new smokes i've had in a while.

COHIBA is constantly on sale where I get my sticks and there is a reason why. The whole Cuban thing is just a sales pitch because no supplier has Cuba soil. And it's the soil that makes the leaf.  It's why a Connecticut broadleaf can be so different. Same with a Cuban seed in Nicaraguan soil.

Good thing my Cohiba was free.........if I wanted a cheap cigar, I will go to the gas station.

I've had $5 sticks that taste as good as 12 and I've had $10 sticks that taste as bad as $2. My point is some companies pour money into advertising and others put it in there product.

They really don't know a good cigar then.  I'm a snob though, if it's not over 5 bucks I don't smoke it. If you don't smoke a cigar for quality what do you smoke it for?

 La Herencia Cubana Core and Xikar hc habano 2 are both my favorite and both over 10 a smoke. They are great though.

I like the occasional cigar but haven't had one in a very long time. What's a moderately priced, easy smoke for a non-smoker? Thanks
