Who enjoys a good cigar?

Apparently this is a touchy subject here, vinosnob. There was a cigar thread that I started here some time ago, but it seems to have been "dissapeared....."

What happened to 'What are you smoking?'

I used to really like that one....

Zingasm hijacked it

I do.

AF Double Chateau with a sungrown wrapper tonight. Most excellent after a few bottles of wine with friends and dinner.

On very rare occasions, I love a cigar...the birth of my now 4 month old, perfectly beautiful grandaughter... when my very best friend came out in July from Tennessee as my houseguest... when we got home after moving my baby girl in August into her dorm at college...

As do I.

Can't stand the smell of it.

I love a good cigar, but very rarely smoke one.

I have been spoiled the last couple months with smoking Cohiba Robusto and Partagas Series D #4.

My weapons of choice (and in my humidor right now)

Cohiba #2s
Cohiba Siglo #5
Cohiba Siglo #6
Monte Cristo #3
Monte Cristo #4
Monte Cristo Robusto

When i did smoke ashton vsg, series r robusto, monte 2 tubos habana.
I once read that there was something like 350 times more cohibas sold each year than made. While I think I might have had a few originals in the probably hundreds that I tried I always stayed away from stocking them.
Used to keep at least two humidors going, one for the cubans, one for the others.
For a mellow smoke I used to like p&G, la fontana and acid cigars.

La Gloria Serie R
AF Hemingway

Punch Rare Corojo with a Booker's Bourbon
Very nice

That is very odd.

... and yes, I greatly enjoy a fine ciger!

Once or twice per year. Preferably with some Germain-Robin right after or during.

I just begain getting interested in cigars. I've found it to be a very entertaining hobby, with a lot of similaries to wine.

a Fuente Double Chateau with sun grown wrapper for today.

Opus X for after the big dinner tomorrow...

Ashton cabinett reserve Conn Shade Grown wraper tonight. Hard to look busy to your staff when you are smoking a fat cigar and sipping brandy behind your desk.

I average 10 cigars/week.

My favorite is the La Flor Dominicana Ligero L500 with the Oscuro Natural wrapper. Frickin awesome!

But I've gotta have at least 3-4 hours between a cigar and wine or my palate is toasted.

in the last few months ive enjoyed a cigar on the course of the first times, lazy rounds with good weather & good company...

1st time actually my partner wasnt doing well, and he tries to right the ship on the back 9... well, by #10 tee the cart girl pulls up and im like, i'll have a cigar & 2 shots, me Jack, him Grey Goose... no stogies on the cart so the girl drives up to the clubhouse and back and brings me a Macanudo... i light it up, we finish the hole, get to #11 and just as we're saying cheers a marshall drives up... "look at you two guys..." he says with a laugh... it was a very relaxing, enjoyable back 9 from there...

other time i grabbed a Monte Cristo @ the pro shop and sat out on the patio and proceeded to go through 4 Crown & 7's while i puffed away at about 3:00-4:30 pm... could not complain at all

Could I store cigars in my wine cellar at 57 degrees?
