I like Cameroon-wrapped DR cigars (like the Fuente Hemingways, 858, Don Carlos). Have you tried the Fuente DR-wrapped Opus X? The son (Carlos') brainchild, so I hear. Expensive, and hard to find.

Cubans? I've only had Montecristo #2's and Cohiba Robustos, both outstanding. The #2's are strong as hell, though.

Indeed...Cameroon is arguably the best strong wrapper to be found outside the Vuelto Abajo.

I like all good authentic Cubans and you can pick them out so easy if they are the real McCoy.

MC is wonderful but a hair light to me....I know that sounds odd.

The biggest Trinidad or Bolivar or Sancho Panza you can find will melt your ears. The old Davidoffs were probably the best made. The main things about Cubans is smoke density...that is very hard to copy. Even a light Cuban like an RJ is still dense as hell.

I think Churchill basically kept his Cubans lit the whole time he was awake....15 or so a day...he even had his oxygen mask fitted so he could smoke on flights with the RAF....what a character.

Like I said....I only smoke when I can relax....in my office, watching a DVD or in bed....that's about it....or like right now before bed on the forum in the living room which has been appropriated as a giant toy room by the little people.
