Cigar Smokers A.K.A Cigar Aficionados - Ongoing

[Ejason5]

I wanted to Start a Cigar Thread Im sure its a few Cats Who enjoy them..

Im farley new to the Cigar Scene maybe about 8 months in, but with all the Traveling I do Ive enjoyed a few Great cigars. Ive learned the difference between the Fake and Real cubans and the Quality of each stick and how there Rated..

*If you didnt know already you are allowed to Bring in up to 50 cuban cigars without any problems from US customs.

With that said what are some of your favorite smokes ? Where are the best deals to buy them in the states and in the Caribbean or Europe if you travel frequently ??

whats your budget bro ?? are you just starting out ?? cigars have different levels of strength. mild ,mild-medium , medium, full something like that.. The rule is Generally the Darker the cigar the stronger it is..

A great economy smoke is a Romeo and Juilet 1875 avg price 4.85 - 6.00 depending on where you live

^^^^ Yeah

It's best to start with a mild until your palate develops because the darker cigars can make you sick and you can definitely get light headed.

Gave my dad a big dark tobacco Cohiba and that shit sat him on his ass and was throwing up. He wouldn't admit it but I knew what it was. I thought he could handle it cuz he always smoked cigars.

I always point beginners out to drew estates or acid cigars. That how I started.

And I think there was a long cover thread on here we had.

[DJCandle]

I smoked a few cigars down in the Caribbean not too long ago.. I actually preferred the Dominican cigars over the Cuban ones.

They just seemed to hit me better. Or maybe that was the Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey...

I learned to tell the difference between real tabacco and banana leaf..

youd be surprised how many cigars are rolled with banana leaf...

 

[Mello Mello]

funny shit dude was in the cigar bar, 1st time smoking a stogie and he picked the darkest olivia v seriers cigar.. nigga was in the corner slummped up tearing up..

I did that shit too even tho I was told before hand to start mild.

I just wanted to try it.

I never knew you could get high like that puffing on cigars.

My ass was dizzy than a mutha fucka.

 

[sammyjax]

okay look

you don't inhale the shit, right?

so does pulling the shit in your mouth and blowwin it back out give you a buzz? is that buzz better than weed?

i just don't get the point. i've tried a cigar but it didn't do shit to me.

 

[Mello Mello]

Some new shit someone gave me as a gift. Perdomo cigars. Nicaraguan tobacco.

Anyone ever try them before?

 

[DJCandle]

it was the jack danielrs and you aint smoke a real cuban in dr unless

you paid over thirty dollars for it...

in domincan republica..I got a real arturo fuente....

but it ran me about 25 for one of those summabytches....

It was actually in Turks and Caico's and the cigars were 25-30 a piece. They were definitely Cubans cause the box I brought back sold out with the quickness and aficionados like my chick's dad said they were official.

They just didn't get to me like that. But maybe I gotta try em again.

 

[Mello Mello]

LOL,

dude those maduros are strictly after a nice meal shit....

Man. I didn't mean to fuck my daddy up like that.

It was one of those maduro black label supreme cohiba's too.

He was sick the rest of the day after that.

There are good replicas and bad ones.. the way there made ex banana leaves, quality and price also never buy cigars on the street or beach. No one in there right mind would keep cubans out of a humidor ..

The main thing is on the wrapper or label .. all the letters have to be raised, u can run your fingers across them. always buy in a licensed shop. I go to DR once a month and there are only 3 shops i go to .. Santiago , Sousa and Cabarete. Also in DR supermarkets like pajero or naccional sell Real ones

The Cigar stimulates your mouth and tounge and its powerful enough to give u a buzz.. Yes correct dont inhale

sounds about right, but watch out for those gift shop cigars...


unless they go to the back of the store and pull them out a humidor, or call someone to bring them, the shit usually on hand is some bullshit...

especially the gift shops around cruise ships...

 

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

Man. I didn't mean to fuck my daddy up like that.

It was one of those maduro black label supreme cohiba's too.

Yo pops was Manning up... he couldnt let you know it was

Havana Mix just off of Beale street is a good place for someone that is interested in getting started.

[dagoon121]

[Csmooth69]

Im still a rookie in the game myself so ive sticking to Fuentes. I aint ready for Cohiba yet. But i usually pair my cigars with Paul Masson ad it is pretty good. No complaints yet.

 

[dagoon121]

right now,

[Mrfreddygoodbud]

Yeah it does and no don't inhale.

I would say it's hit me faster than weed don't know about better tho.

it will take some time, but after awhile you could defintely smell the banana and the taste will give it away...

 

[Mello Mello]

Probably gonna puff it with some 1800 silver tequila or the coconut before its all gone.

Or maybe some gin.

Never had Baji Chiew where you get it at?

Here's a Partagas Maximo I bought back from the DR with me along with a few others.

Probably won't get to puffing this for a while.
