Good Cigars

[Freebeer187]

Wow actually just searched and found out that they are illegal to import even in small amounts from other countries. Nm guess no Cubans for me

IMHO, some of the top cigars from the 2013 top 25 are as good as Cubans.

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos #2 and Hemingway Short Stories are good cigars. Almost all Padrons are good, especially their anniversary blends. I found a store down here that sells Cubans under the counter but I may not pay the premium price if I can find the cigars I mentioned instead.

Anyone else think it's ridiculous that we can't legally buy Cuban cigars in the Land of the Free?

Best cigar I have ever smoked was this Cuban Montecristo that a guy I knew gave to me. He owned his own cigar shop and the guy that rented one of the humidor "lockers" passed away. I was there when he opened it up and gave that cuban to me to have (since i just spent a shit load of money in his store on other stuff). Evidently it was maturing in that humidor for over 5 years ( the guy was unsure on the time, but he said it was at least 5 years since he saw this old timer come into the store. I have never had a cigar to this day that was that smooth and flavorful. For some reason it tasted like a creamy hazelnutt cigar even though it was a non-flavored one. Awesome shit. I have have had several Cohiba cubans, and a few other brands, and they have not come anywhere close. Maybe the cigar was aged so well That place has since closed down...sucks donkey balls.

My father in law used to know somebody who would get those regularly. My father in law would buy boxes upon boxes of those. He would light one cigar up around 3pm, smoke it until around 10pm and put it out. It would only burn up half the cigar and he would smoke the rest of it the following weekend (he only drinks on Fridays).

If anybody knows where I can get some Cuban Monte's, let me know.

I was out at total wine today picking up some provisions for the weekend and due to some discussions in this thread I decided to visit their walk in humidor and pick up a couple acid kuba kuba's and I also got a regular Ashton magnum (5X50). Been so long since Ive had an acid.

 

[IDAFC21]

Had me an acid tonight. Good stuff indeed. And its only still 100 degrees out at 9:30 at night Perfect cigar weather...

If you guys get the chance and see one of these, I think they are excellent cigars. Aging Room cigars can be hard to find. My local cigar shop just got in several boxes of them. The shop is selling them for $7.00 each which is cheap for a large cigar that has a 95 rating and was ranked as one of the top 25 cigars of 2013.

Aging Rooms start off mild. they burn evenly. As you continue through the cigar, the flavor gets a little stronger. I'd say they are mild to medium through the first half. Working on the 2nd half now. Good cigar buzz and great taste.

 

[IDAFC21]

Dont think ive heard of those. Sounds good tho

 

[Flyn]

I may grab a box of these. They quality is a level above the usual $7.00 cigar. IMHO, they are as good as a Padron that is twice the price.

 

[VenomousDSG]

La Aurora makes some fantastic cigars. The Preferidos No.2 Maduro is one of my favorite.

 

[IDAFC21]

Cant wait till it cools off here.

 

[Flyn]

We're getting nothing but rain here lately. I'm looking forward to Oct. temps lowering into the 80s and then having 6 months of great weather. Almost through our hot, wet "winter". I imagine it's much the same in Arizona except for the rain. LOL.

I will have to try one. Maduros taste great but are so strong I feel them the next day. For good ones, it's worth it.

I actually had one of these last weekend and hated it. I am not sure if I got a bad stick, but it was honestly terrible. It had a bad taste and poor draw.

I stuck to one of my favorites tonight....Monticristo White Label and a glass of wine.

I'm not a fan of strong cigars either, but these were very mild for Maduros. I usually never smoke anything over a mild-medium.

Either a bad one or we just have different tastes. The draw on the Aging Rooms I smoke is good and they burn evenly.

I was over at a neighbor's house tonight having some beers and mentioned having a cigar later tonight. He says "Dude, you like cigars? My son gave me a pack of them and I don't smoke them anymore." I said sure, not knowing what to expect and he goes out to his fridge and comes back with a pack of 15 Oliva cigars. It's a combo of Oliva Serie, Nubs and Cains. Score! Free cigars are high on my list of good things.

 

[IDAFC21]

Nice score! You say he went out to his fridge tho. If he had them in his refrigerator Id get them into a humidor stat. The fridge is not a good place for cigars, as fridges are meant to REMOVE moisture from things.

Yes, I already put them in my humidor. At least they were double wrapped and don't feel dried out. I think they will be OK. They smell good which is usually a good sign.

 

[IDAFC21]

What Serie ones did you get? V? O? G?

 

[Flyn]

One each of O, G and a G dark wrapper and tobacco (Maduro?)

[daturbosix]
