What this country needs is a good five cent cigar thread!

It's Friday. We need some cigar pron.

One thing that has befuddled me some is the wide variety out there in size and shape.

Personally, I find that I gravitate towards robustos and toros with the occasional belicoso. The big churchills I just don't seem to find as pleasant. And the skinny stuff burns too hot for me.

How about yous guys?

Discuss.

What we need...is more cowbell

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.

[El Sordo]

Yes, that too.

"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

[Maverick68]

Personally, I hate cigars but love the thought of smoking one...

[Mr. K]

gigar = cigar DAMMIT WHY CANT I PROOFREAD?????????????

[gigster]

My favorite is Itsagirl!

[wideminded]

gigar = a very large cigar

[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.

[GOP_Party_Animal]

A little larger than a megar.

[El Sordo]

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)

[Bigoleelephant]

A gigantic-cigar if you will.
