Cigar thread

[Snake]

So spring is almost here and my nighty smokes will be becoming more regular so I decided to bring back the old thread.

I just order 15 cigars from CI and are ready to review them once they arrive. Till then what are you guys smoking on?

This is a judgement free zone bro. If that's what you like and can afford have no regrets. With that said I'm smoking on one of my $1.75 Cuban wheels tonight. Great construction and flavor. Good knock around cigar.

Wife is transitioning jobs and we're getting ready to move so no $ for my usual luxury smokes (Liga Privada, Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust,) 

My humidor is empty I'm down to whatever Privada Cigar Club sends me (3 cigars a month for $30)

Not a bad cigar club, they specialize in aged cigars and exclusives, have not gotten a bad one yet been member for 7mos

I smoked all 3 over the weekend so 

I'm dry until March

That's not a bad price right there.

I like a good cigar but have not smoked one in months.  My favorite are Padron cigars and I do not mind paying $15-$20 per cigar as I only smoke on some occasions.

What's a good cigar to pair with a glass of scotch?

Depends on what type of scotch really. 

Smokey & peaty, lite and smooth, heavy & syrupy, etc etc 

I try and do it like I pair foods, to find a complement, you don't want to pair a spicy peppery cigar with let’s say a spicy scotch that will just wreck your pallet.

And you don't want a heavy thick full body smoke with Islay scotch, that would just be smoke overload. 

+ There are so many nuances with Tobacco blends and such but I think that is a good place to start. & You can search cigars by mild,med,full body and go from there with what liquor you are pairing with.

Yup I didn't really get into smoking cigars until I smoked a Padron 1926 Natural,  after that I was all in. 

You can pick up a Padron series 3000 for $5 at any smoke shop and get a great smoke, and If you don't like that then I'm not sure cigars would be for you.
