I'm in the mood to learn to blow smoke rings... haha
I've found it easier to learn by using a very mild smoke to keep from choking. I actually learned with Hookah smoke, not cigars. But anything with a loose draw would be good. Go with an Hoyo de Monterrey or something.

I learned to blow smoke rings on a pipe and some swisher sweets, lol. So I guess anything would work. I'd recommend a Padron, as I always do, if you want a nice dense smoke that'll hold together and impress the...well, truthfully it impresses more guys than ladies...

Okay, well, it seems that I post in this forum too much. I'm beginning to think that I really need to start learning more about headphones and other audio more than cigars...lol. Anyway, here's my latest review: the Onyx Reserve Belicoso #2.
The Onyx Reserve Belicoso #2: 3.44
Wrapper: Maduro
Length: 6 1/8''
Ring Gauge: 52
This cigar is a pretty good smoke for the money (I paid about 3.60 for it), but its not one I would recommend to people who love the aroma and aftertaste of their cigars, as I do. It had a wonderful draw, and allowed for a clean, even burn, but the aroma was overly woody and somewhat acidic, as was the taste. The aftertaste is not very pleasant, and I'm trying to get it out of my mouth with a coke right now...The construction of the cigar was quite good and I got no tobacco in my mouth during the entirety of the smoke. Overall, this is a good maduro smoke, but it pales in comparison to some of the other cigars I've had of the same length, strength, and wrapper.

Let us know how you like it sean. I'm interested in some opposing viewpoints. I may be a little biased toward the stronger cigars.

My favs are Don Tomas Cameroon collection. Nice draw even burn, pretty heavy smoke(but not harsh). Come's in all great sizes. I like Perfecto #1 for a "quick smoke" 4.0x48 30-45 min maybe and Double Corona 7.5x52 50min+. And price is not bad $50-90 for box of 25(and 4 other sizes), And what I think best of all if you get a med. sixed one, the 1st one you have will give you almost a little tabacco "high"
For Christmas my wife bought me a single Drew Estates Java, sadly I didn't snap a pic before I smoked it This smoke was fantastic for a flavored smoke, here is a link http://www.javacigars.com/ I have been wanting a good desert cigar and I think I have found it It delivers a flavor that must be experienced (if you desire a flavored smoke) Anyone else get some cigars for Christmas? Sorry Zara I didn't get the Humidor I was hoping for but I will remedy that myself within the next month or two and then I can send you my old one. Hope everyone has a safe and happy new year

PS:
I can't find these online anywhere.....everyone is sold out!

This is a medium-to-full-bodied cigar lover's delight! I also love this cigar, being an oaky to very slight sweet wrap of Brazillian leaves. It's a Dominican, but a handmade one that emphasizes a smooth, yet fuller taste. It smokes consistently and has a slight but pleasant aftertaste. The ash is almost white and fine. The draw is so consistent. The construction is such excellent quality. This cigar will just invite cigar lovers of full-bodied and mild cigars that want a change. The box is a tan, leather-like cover over cedar, and has an overall paper wrapping - very classy. Another Nat Sherman winner!
FYI if anyone will be at CES, we'll be at the lunch tent on tuesday - join us for a smoke!
Nice hit btw
