Any Cigar smokers here?

[ChefWide]

Darling, being a person of the world, I have been "forced" to try different shapes, sizes and flavors. I will tell you all about them sometime.

I have tried the Macanudo Maduros, but they tasted a little too bitter for me. Maybe I should try it again, for fringe sakes.

You know that both you and I could live on Monte Habanas #2s and toss the rest, but if you let the Macanudos get past the 'sickness' you're in for a suprise.

Put them up in a more moist than usual spanish cedar for at least 12 months, 18 is better. THEN hit one. Don't pass judgement on the Presidente size until you have gone past the first inch, then really swish one around, pun not intended.

I go through phases.

Opus X are great.

The regular line of Padrons are great

JR Ultimate are great.

If you're just starting out I suggest the latter.

If you can get the former at MSRP I highly suggest it.

I personally enjoy the Cusano line of cigars and the Helix brand. I've tried all the so-called greater cigars ( Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann) but never enjoyed them.

I tried an Acid 1400 the other day and it tasted like $hit. Kinda like dipping a cigar in Pine Sol then smokin' it. However I also tried a CAO Moontrance and it was excellent.

CAO makes some nice smokes. Lately, I've been taking a liking to Gurkha, Romeo's, Montecristo's, Fuente's, Perdomo's and Cohiba's. Unfortunately, none are Cuban

CAO's are nice.

Everyone here needs to try an AVO. I never see them mentioned but I love them.

I think CAO and AVO are both overpriced. Neither make their own cigars (neither company owns a factory the way Fuente and Padron do), which also kind of turns me off about them, and also explains their higher prices (another layer of middleman).

I say go with the JR Ults and Padrons. You won't go wrong.
