Would you like a Cigar?

[FerRGarza]

Hello all, just wondering if there are any cigar smokers here on the forum. If so, let us know which is your favorite one!

I like to light a cigar usually in the late afternoon and enjoy last few hours of daylight reading. Most times its a safari hunting book, others might be a book on oil and gas law. When on a hunting trip, its at the end of the day after a great hunt. I enjoy several brands from Dominican to Nicaraguan. Mostly VegaFina, La Aurora, Oliva (serie "g"). I have tasted numerous brands, but these are the ones found in my humidor.

Occasionally I do....prefer Rocky Patels, but like the Oliva's also.

I also enjoy Rocky Patel. The Decades and Vintage 2003 Cameroons are my choice.

That is superb tobacco right there spike.t. I really enjoy the cuban montecristo no.2 and the Romeo y Julieta No.1

only have one on the odd occasion these days , but also used to like the monte cristo no2 pyramid/torpedo, and had a couple of boxes of the monte cristo A, you felt as if you should have been directing a hollywood epic in the 1930`s when you fired one of those up plus various romeo y julieta, partagas, h. upman , and davidoff depending on what took the fancy when in the shop. i hate to think what some of those cost now as this was in the 1980`s and early 90`s........

Indeed they sure take one back in time. Taxing and further FDA threats have been driving prices upward.

Mmmm not to offend but i presume you are having a joke? :headscratch: i looked them up and you can buy a box of 50 of those for way less or same price as one of the ones i was talking about.....

My favorite is Cohiba Robusto, but the cigar that started my cigar career was Romeo y Julieta nr 2. Sundowner in africa with a good cigar. Nothing can match that

Im sure that is an excellent way of ending a day. With the sky a burnt orange color and distant silhouettes of scattered trees maybe an animal or two as well. Now all you need is a good Scotch

thanks for sharing!
