    On *very* rare occasions I'll have a cigar and an Islay scotch. Don't hate, acid cigars are my favorite.

    What do you like to smoke?

    Depends on my mood. Davidoff 2000 Series is my favorite, but too expensive to smoke regularly. I also like Oliva Serie V, and CAO Brazilia. I also keep a stash of Drew Estate Kuba Kuba's.
    2000 series are great and for the price and the power Oliva Vs are great. I used to work for La Flor domincana home of the powerful cigar and love the whole line. also a big fan of Tatuaje and my father cigars. both made by Don Pepin. Also like a lot of the Alec Bradley line and who can count out Padron?

    That's the thing.....there's so many out there. I try to get something I haven't tried every time I go to the cigar shop, but always seem to gravitate back to my old faithfuls.

    Sitting on my patio, glass of bourbon, cigar, and some tunes.....so nice:smokin:

    I actually enjoy a cigar now and then.
    Mr mjbrenner and I have, with other friends, developed an "almost tradition" every October where we celebrate the end of another successful summer.
    :-)
    I also met some of my better friends because they were having cigars; I walked by, made a comment, and next we knew... friends were made.

    As a former cigarette smoker, I like the fact that I do not want one all the time. it is casual and social for me.
    I am not so picky, but prefer a medium bodied and non flavored cigar.

    THats the best part always buy 2 or 3 cigars at a time. the one you love and one or 2 others... try stuff you have never heard of and give it a whirl

    Don't smoke many or often, but I love me a good, bold cigar. Oliva V's are killer, but my favorite to date is the Ashton VSG.

    Group of guys I ride with meet at my place on the first Tuesday of every month. As a matter of fact, we met last night. Cigar night. The cigars are as diverse as the group of guys. My favorite cigar is a La Gloria Cubana, Series R No 6 or 7. I buy my everyday cigars on line. Usually Consuegra from JR Cigars.

    Don't keep my cigars in Humidors any more. I keep them in Gallon Zip Loc. I take a Zip Lok, put some Pipe Tobacco in it with about 3 Vanilla Beans, then toss in a bundle of cigars. Keeps them at the right humidity and they smell and taste great. Have about 5 bags in the closet in varying stages. They travel well that way too.

    Ahhhh I'm so happy cigar season is here! Can't wait to be on a deck somewhere cigar in one hand and a whiskey or single malt in the other

    Can't agree enough with this quote. The weather is just perfect here in Texas.

    Cigars...love em. I used to be a 1-3x per year guy, but since a great new cigar bar opened near my house last fall. I have been more of a 1-3 x per month. Damn them if they don't always have a great selection on tap, as well. That place is killing me! lol

    I am a maduro wrapper, torpedo smoker on average. I like full body and a little spicy (like my women). Current fav is the Upper Cut.

    Where do ya live whats the lounge? I used to be 3 to 4 a day sometimes! so many great cigars out on the market now

    You are a dedicated smoker, sir! : ) Yes, so many good sticks out there these days...makes it hard not to smoke em'. I'm in Gilbert, Az, on the outskirts of Phoenix. The lounge is Fix Cigar Bar. Great little lounge with a patio that is perfect right now.

    Smoking a Rocky Patel - Sun Grown tonite with a Jamesons. Bueno!

    Pretty unique way of storing them

    Don't be jealous but I had a nice Nub last night on the back porch. It was in the 70s all evening. Nice to be away from the crowds at SXSW. I was down there the other night and it is just crazy here in Austin this week.

    Oh man... that weather is amazing...

    Think I may have to go pick up a few tonight and a bottle of Jim. (Affordable)

    Had a great birthday celebration on Friday. No cake, just an Oliva V and some Laphroaig 10 year. Now that the weather is starting to get nice, what are you smoking lately?

    The great thing about a hot tub is every day is a good day for a cigar! I enjoy Rocky Patel Edge and LGC Serie R...love the full-bodied, oily maduros.

    Hot tub is definitely on my bucket list of items to add to the back deck.

    Just ordered a "Brown Bag Sampler" from Cigarsinternational.com

    I don't really have a preferred cigar so maybe I will get something in there that I like.

    Smoke cigars at the firehouse with the boys. Not at home though. Herein Hawaii, we have just a handfull of cigar shops so we mainly get them online.

    I do enjoy myself some cigars.. especially now the spring i here. I topped of the the Humidor with an order from JR. I got some double Maduro JR ultimates No.1 , and a bundle of the JR Cuban Alternatives Gloria Cubana Churchill for fishing trips.

    Also got a mix pack with some more mild cigars for my buddies when they come over. Most of them do not like their smokes as full flavored as I do.


    I am a big fan of ordering from Famous cigars also... they have a couple of nice bundles (My favorite is the Nicaraguan 5000) and mix packs grouped by strength so I can get some different varieties. All at a reasonable price too.

    I enjoy a cigar now and then and try to keep on top of my humidor. One of the advantages of being in Canada is easy access to Cubans! Even better prices when you actually travel there or have a friend mule some back.

    Definitely! I enjoy cigars with Scotch or a bourbon whiskey. I am not loyal to any brand, I usually prefer maduro wrapped torpedoes. I keep some in my humidor at home for special occasions.

    I had a bottle of Laphroaig once... ;) Good stuff.

    Days like today are tough... i am planning a nice walk at lunch and would love a good smoke for it. But I did not bring any to my office, so the alternative is to pay $9 for a Maduro Punch Champion at the local NYC jip joint by my office. It is one of my favorite cigars but it is about double the price I want to pay for it.

    So cool to see more cigar smokers out there. I'm looking forward to an event on Friday after work at one of our local shops. Will be a good time to kick back after a long week.

    Best to everyone.
