What we need...is more cowbell

[Vision]

I love lanceros. A perfect size is anything 38 - 53 gauge 5 - 7”.

Actually, not to take away from this thread, why not register on cigar aficionado’s board. I can use another right winger there and you'll learn a lot.

Arturo Fuente Robusto Maduro for me. Sometimes sold with "Rothschild" label on the box. Less than $5.00 per stick online.

Make mine Fuente:

Of course I can no longer buy cigars in NYS. Taxes are insane.

"Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, who served two terms with President Woodrow Wilson from 1913 to 1921, claimed that most of the "nameless, unremembered" jobs assigned to him had been concocted essentially to keep vice presidents from doing any harm to their administrations. One of these chores, according to Marshall, was that of regent of the Smithsonian Institution. The vice president recalled that at his first board meeting the other regents, including the chief justice of the United States and the inventor Alexander Graham Bell, discussed funding an expedition to Guatemala to excavate for traces of prehistoric man. With the breezy manner of a self-described "light-hearted Hoosier," Marshall asked if the Smithsonian had ever considered excavating in Washington, D.C. Judging from the specimens walking about on the street, he said, they would not have to dig far below the capital to discover prehistoric man. "And then the utter uselessness and frivolity of the vice-presidency was disclosed," Marshall confessed, "for not a man smiled. It was a year before I had courage to open my mouth again." - link

My favorite is a Macanudo Portofino- Until I had one of those I was just trying this one and that one until I found one I liked... This one I LOVE

And for a good cheapo one- I actually had a White Owl gigar once that was very fresh and tasty- I went back to the same store just to find out what brand and model it was... but the box was gone.

I am NO EXPERT I just know what I liked

[gigster]

My favorite is Itsagirl!

[BulletBobCo]

My standby has been Arturo Fuente’s 858s, but I had an Oba Oba by Perdomo and they are very good and about half the price.

[Hotmetal]

This is not a $.5 but it’s what I’m having tonight.

One of my current favotires is the Nica Libre Exclusivo (5.5" x 50).

[El Sordo]

Another leading competitor for favorite cigar right now is the Cuba Libre (love this whole freedom thing) Magnum (5.5 X 50)

[PushinTin]

Rocky Patel Decade - Emperor, Toro, Robusto...All VERY good.

[Sans-Culotte]

I used to smoke churchills. But now, it's robustos. I only smoke outside, and it's too damned hot down here in Texas to smoke more than a robusto. I also like the ring gauge of a robusto. When it gets cooler in the fall, if I want to stay on the deck a little longer, I can always smoke another robusto. That's the beauty of a robusto. I don't feel compelled to keep smoking to avoid wasting a good cigar. I can always finish a robusto.

Currently smoking 5 Vegas Classic.

[razorback-bert]

Any premium robusto, but my favorite is a CAO Gold.

[rbosque]

I managed to score five Cuban sticks (Cohibas) from a Nicaraguan friend who just came back from that area! I’ve been an avid smoker for years and enjoy the Hoyo de Monterey, Punch’s and Arturo Fuentes. All Robustos!

[PilotDave]

Yummmm,
I’ve been thinking about my Friday Cigar all morning. I can’t wait to get home and dig through my humidor/burial urn and pick out a good one. I’m leaning toward a Rocky Patel 1992 60 ring, but who knows what will jump out at me??

BTW- I’m a pilot getting ready to fly from Lakeside airport in New Orleans to Myrtle Beach. I just bumped into Steven Segal. He sure looked old fat and had a really bad hair coloring job.

My Buddy is here flying oil surveys in the gulf. He says a whole bunch of oil is fixing to come ashore between Pensacola and Gulfport.

It’s always good to keep in mind that, with delicacies, cigars included, your current state of mind, the location, the situation, and the camaraderie matter far more than the delicacy itself.

This is because after a draw or two of a cigar, or a few sips of brandy, a bite or two of the fine meal, and the initial experience has passed. And while you may enjoy the rest, it just won’t be as grand as that first bit.

Your state of mind is very important. If you are starved, a meal tastes so much better, and if you really want that cigar, it is far more enjoyable.

The location matters as well. If it is a relaxing, quiet place, where you can appreciate what you are doing, it is far better than where you are rushed, it is noisy, and there are many distractions.

Is the situation special, or humdrum? That first cigar while celebrating a major accomplishment is going to be much better than one pulled out “just because.”

And finally, being around a bunch of people you like, who also like cigars, where you can talk cigars, or anything else for that matter. You know there is no ill feeling over smoking, and it is a pleasant break from the day. Something to look forward to. Makes that cigar so much better.

[Eagle Eye]

My favorite to enjoy is Partagas 1845 Black Label, but for an everyday cigar I don’t think that Arturo Fuente Breva Royales can be beaten.

[Yorlik803]

Love Punch cigars. I smoke one everyday on a 30-40 minute drive. Its the only thing that keeps me from ramming the asshats who insists on playing their car sterios so loud that my truck vibrates.
