Nothing like sitting on the patio in front of your favorite Cafe in Europe sipping a well made coffee while smoking a well made cigar and people watching.

A couple of Romeo y Julieta later tonight with my future son-in-law.
With my wife out of town, I might be tempted to enjoy in the house.  |

Double espresso and cigar on the patio with ceiling fan on high.
Nothing like a fine cigar to help one contemplate the vicissitudes of life over. I know KSC02, Skoshy and KS and I did just this one night in Dallas.  |

There is nothing like a good cigar and great glass of wine on a Friday or Saturday night after you worked all week. I have to be in the mood and usually its after a rough week and I just want to really unwind. Ah life is good!

You'll get no raised eyebrow from me, my friend. While D's in Alaska, nothing wrong with allowing the abode to take a hint of 'men's club' for a couple of days. How's the future son-in-law adjusting to the cigars and wine (seperate, I know) education? |

Tuesday night was another Bolivar Robusto cut in a Madura wrapper. Last night was an AVO robusto cut in a natural wrapper. Tonight? I'm thinking Bolivar Robusto in a natural wrapper; Habano this time.

Your thoughts on this one, WIML?  |

It's one of my favorite smokes actually. It can be easily had for around $5.00 a stick or less and one hellova smoke at that price point. It's my go to cigar when I just want a decent smoke. Joe ----- Wine is like potato chips around me...if it's open, it's gone. |

I must admit, that I really enjoy most any AVO. Ever try their pyramide?
|

Yep, I've had the pyramid. Good cigar but in general I'm not a pyramid fan. I smoke them every so often just for fun per se.

Last night:
Arturo Fuente - Hemingway, and a pint of Beamish stout. "It's easy to grin, when your ship comes in, and you've got the stockmarket beat, but the man worth-while, is the man who can smile, when his shorts are too tight in the seat." -Judge Smails |

I smoke the occasional cigar, but not sure about what makes a "good" cigar vs. a "bad" one...im assuming it’s like wine, personal preference...but im looking for some advice...
The best cigar I ever had was a box I bought in Dominican Republic...El Greco Hecho A Mano...about 5" long, thickness of a dime. I don’t recall what I paid or even if it was pricey or not, but I liked it a lot more than the Cohiba (sp?) I purchased (although it was probably fake)... I find a lot of cigars ive had give me a burning sensation I my mouth and throat (I don’t have a "virgin" mouth/throat because I can smoke cigarettes and mini cigars like Captain Blacks all day without getting that burning sensation)...but maybe this is because they are poor quality cigars? I would like some recommendations on some to try...I prefer something light, not so heavy...and I prefer a 15-45min smoke... Thanks! |

You'll find many people very happy to give friendly/helpful advice. And as good as that is, cigars are indeed like wine. To know what you like you really have to pull a lot of corks. With cigars, you really need to smoke a varity. That said, my personal tastes/advice for your taste would be recommendations for the following:
Cuban: Romeo ye Julieta Churchill. A 45 minute, medium strength, smoke. Easy to enjoy, well constructed and mid range in expense (for Cubans). No one beats a good Cuban cigar for quality of the construction IMHO. Others: Avo Uvezian makes some very nice quality cigars. Not too strong and easy to like. Good quality throughout. As I mentioned, you're likely to get several, very fine, recommendations here. Try a few and find what you like. Enjoy! |
