What kind of cigar do you guys smoke and what's your favorite brand?
[Reply]

Favorites? Ramon Allones and Partagas, from Cuba.

Best? That's all a matter of opinion.

We really need a Popcorn smiley.:-) This could get interesting...

Thanks for the reply guys. Where do you guys normally buy your cigars from? Online or near by retail stores? I just started to smoke cigar recently, I guess there is a lot to learn.

No such thing, bro. :-)

Favorites are the Padron 80th Maduro and Partagas Lustiano's, Luckily cubans are not restricted in Canada so they are availiable in any shop, However I live in the far north and we don not have a brick and mortar retailer so most of my restocking purchases are online.

Boli CC
Monte CC
Party CC

If I had to pick just one brand (NC) it would be:
Arturo Fuente- From the 8-5-8 Maduro and Queen B, to Hemmingway line, to the Anejo and Opus X lines they always deliver.

I am still new to all this as well and as such do not have a favorite. Still looking for one though. I visit my local shop for recommendations and to hang in the lounge and smoke/visit with other folks.

With that being said, I have also made two purchases online (Famous).

Good luck in your search and visit a local shop and start asking for recommendations based on what you have tried.

Cremosa Cubana, by far.

The best cigar brand is which ever cigar YOU enjoy the most. Everyone's tastes are different. I prefer Tats and Oliva's.
[Reply]

I have only been in the cigar thing since Feb. My list was shorter back then:

Padron, Carlos Torano.... Padron.

These days: Padron, DPG, My Father, Partagas for CC, Bolivar for CC. I also kind of love the Partagas NC naturals. Oh.. and.. Recently starting to dig the WOAMs.

I have been smoking for about a solid year now and always recommend to anyone that is trying the hobby for the first time to get their hands on some sampler packs. You can then sample all different types of cigars and let them lead you into different directions. Try going onto http://cigarsinternational.com/ or http://www.famous-smoke.com/ and check out the different samplers available. Some local cigar shops may even offer samplers.

As for my favorites so far....definately the Drew Estate Liga Privada line and the Drew Estate Undercrown. Note that I state "so far." Your taste will continue to change but you will certainly remember your favorites.

Happy Smoking! :-)

Right now I am really enjoying Tatuaje, Viaje, DPG and Oliva but I still have a ton to try.

Being on the ISOM I am forced to purchase everything online or from other BOTL.
[Reply]

Not sure if this is kosher to post.. but I tend to look here first for most purchases:

tobaccolocker.com
bestcigarprices.com
famoussmokes.com

I've also been to two guys and old times cigars for things that I could not find anywhere else.
