Default The Official Cigar Thread

Hey guys, as promised in the Cigar reviews thread, I've created this thread to celebrate the general hobby of cigar smoking. Post pictures or thoughts regarding cigars, humidors, cutters, lighters, tobacco types, and anything else related to the smoking of premium cigars!

Unfortunately, as a college student, I've run out of smokes for the time being, but I'll post as I get the chance. Just as I do in the cigar review thread. Thanks!

I took up cigars to help quit cigarettes....I know, I know. I have dabbled with cigars for the last year but recently (6 mos ago) ordered a package deal of humidor and cigars from Thompson. They had the "old timers" with that original order and were out of stock when I wanted to reorder. They sent the "pheonix" instead and I love this smoke, very fresh tasting and mild. I like the maduro wrapper and robusto size. I work with a guy that is really into cigars and he gave me a Opus X to try. I kept it in my humidor for a couple months and checked it out last week. It was like smoking FIRE, full flavor smokes are not for me, well at least not yet. Oh, by the way I haven't smoked a cigarette in a couple months.

Hey all, I thought I'd try to post a few pics of my favorites. Unfortunately, Padron is a very tricky cigar to get pictures of without having the actual cigar in your hand. So, I'm posting a pic of the St. Luis Rey Rothschilde. Granted, I don't have the actual cigar in hand, once again, but I guess I'll just try to jumpstart the picture aspect of this thread.

tjohnusa, congratulations on no cigarettes! I'm the same way when it comes to full strength, once in a blue moon.

I think I'll be the first to post pics of my humidor. It's lookin a little low right now as I just sent out a bunch of sticks but I will be restocked soon enough Should have some Opus and Anejo on the way today too and I'll be sure to put those up once they come.

The second one from the left(first photo), is that a Cuban Montecristo? If it is congrats, that is one of my favorites and the Fuentes are excellent.

Mild please, preferably robusto size!

can ya give some more parameters? brand? wrapper type? Just going on mild, go with the Perdomo Champagnes. Theyre mild and are pretty nice (but are a little more than $5 a stick). Could also try CAO gold; I wasn't a big fan of them but a lot of people like em.
