I really need to get out and try some more... maybe join a club or something. I love the Cohiba Tora Tube so much that every time I buy I get that! I found them on some site (can't remember which right now) for about $ 73 for a box of 10... after all is said and done it's about $8 per cigar vs. $18.99 each at Bev Mo.

Yes, it is illegal to ship anything made in cuba to united states, but i don't think the person receiving them would mind

About 6 years ago, I pretty much had to give up cigar smoking because of some nasty allergies and sinus issues (bad enough that two surgeries were required). Prior to that, I used to smoke a couple of times a week.

I still partake a couple of times a year it seems, but I'm a lot more selective about what I smoke when I do. The good news is, because I live in the greater Detroit area, that usually means a road trip with friends to Windsor and Cuban cigars!!

I don't have a humidor these days...at least not one that is stocked with anything. SIGH...I miss cigar smoking. Thanks for this thread.

No brand preference, preferably maduro or natural wrapper. I think I might go with the la gloria cubanas right now. I've had some before, and I think my friend would like them as well

I WOULD LOVE YOU!!!!!

Zarathustra - Can't speak for maddies, havent found one I liked yet. Natural wrapper though, go for some Fonseca Serie F. I got a fiver of em off CBid for like $10, I'm sure you could get a box for under $50.

I find it humourous that this thread is found to be totally acceptable(it is) but if one posted a MARIJUANA thread, it would be bashed on!

My assumptions (which can be proven) show how well the government has brainwashed north america!

Either way, I've never smoked a cigar. Do you guys smoke more for the taste, and just hold it in your mouth instead of fully inhaling and *****ing up your lungs?

But I'll admit some of those cigars in the first picture make my mouth water.

I would not bash you for posting a marijauna thread, and if it were legal I would be smoking it with you! Yes cigars are smoked for the taste, I only inhale the smallest amount, like 0.1% throughout the entire smoke. They are smoked differently than cigarettes.
