Cigar anyone?

Postby BAW0343 » Wed May 26, 2010 2:56 am

So I had my first experience last summer with a cigar, it was a peach flavoured stub of one, but it was enjoyable. More recently I got the chance to go to a proper tobacconist and had a Macanudo and really enjoyed that. Just today I smoked with a friend for their first time and I decided to try a cheap Garcia y Vega English Corona and found I made an excellent choice for the price.

So I was wondering if anyone else here enjoys a good cigar, and what types do you prefer?

I gave up smoking cigarettes 18 months ago but still enjoy the occasional cigar.

Henri Wintermans Full Corona is my cigar of choice, quite expensive (

I am one of the few out of 2400 kids at my school who did not smoke.99.99% of my former school all smoked, or did other things...

And never will.

Farting and smoking, is that not dangerous, think of the blow back/back draught risk ;D

My grandfather smoked cigars. Great man, always having a big cigar stuck in his face. No matter what he did, working, going to church, having dinner. Always that cigar. Love the smell of a good cigar (not those fancy small brown sticks though) but find them too expensive to smoke. I just keep to a few cigarrettes a day.

I don't smoke if I can help it -- it means I'm on fire with a very unpleasant burning sensation... :o :'(

Quit on the second try in '66, the year my daughter was born.  She just started smoking - age 44.  Nothing is ever as it should be  :).

I'll enjoy the occasional cigar sitting at the bar, or while floating the river, usually wood tip Black & Mild, good taste, particularly fond of the Wine flavor.
