Let's talk about cigars

[Matta mile]

MMFJM8509,
You have quite a stash going!
A cigar for every mood and time throughout the day.
Something that I have learned is that depending on how much time I have to smoke and how much I have eaten (or drank), often dertermines the cigar I will enjoy the most. Recently I picked up some fairly full bodied Consuegras for an inexpensive smoke for when I have eaten an have a few minutes to myself. The Drew estate products mix things up nicely particularly in the AM.
Good luck and enjoy!

I've run across a few more good ones since this thread started.


The Rocky Patel Fusion (available from Cigars International) is a great cigar


The Exile cigars from Cuban Imports is a very flavorful maduro without any bite


Carlos Torano 1959 Exodus is one of my favorites too

I'm a guy who doesn't smoke a lot of cigars but does appreciate the good ones that I've been given or have smoked on a special occasion.

A good little "everyday" cigar that someone with more cigar experience than me turned me onto is the Petri Toscanelli (5-pack).

These little guys are the ones that you see Clint Eastwood smoking/chewing on in all his spaghetti westerns. I'll leave the full review to someone who smokes enough to know how to describe what cigars taste like (other than burning dried plant material) but they are (in my opinion) a "everyday" type of smoke that is not too strong and are small enough to not entail a lifetime commitment once you put a match to one.

Others know I smoke cigars and I am offered samples which I politely accept and then discreetly "re-gift" when I can. I ONLY smoke Hoya de Monterry Presada Oscuros in the maduro wrapper, box-pressed. I used a field expident humidor (tupperware box with moisture stick in the trunk of my car) so that I am never out. I buy them by the box because local stores don't seem to carry this model.

In the event of America Beyond Thunderdome I might bend and smoke a Fuente 858 in the maduro wrapper. But it would really have to be bad, like Hilary is elected . . .

Partagas Limited Reserve # II have always been very good and, worth a try.

Just found this thread, hope it hasn't petered out...

Fuente (Anejo, OpusX (R & M), Don Carlos, Hemi's (C & M), Sungrowns, 858 (M))
Padron (Thousand Series (M), '64 (M), Fumas)
Ashton (VSG & Aged Maduro)
La Gloria Cubana (Serie R)
CAO (Brazilia & Maduros)
Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970
La Flor Dominicana Chisel (M)
El Rico Habano (M)

That list rounds out the majority of my humidor. Of what is listed, I typically enjoy the Robusto & Torpedo size.

I'm very partial to the COHIBA EXTRA VIGOROSO when you can find them!! They are great with a Murphy's Oatmeal Stout....
