Just smoked a cigar. No idea but it was dominican. Was mild not spicy. Paired it with a super expensive cognac that I have no clue about either. I spilled some of the cognac and got a stink eye. Tried to repent with a "hey this is really good cognac."

Worked out pretty well.

Look who CLEARLY is skimming from one of the many corporate accounts. Guys, I'm freezing some funds. Check your pms. Compensation Committe will meet on Wednesday at Intercontinental.

Buy Cubans , not Dominicans

When I am in Mex I get Cubans, but I won't try to bring them back. :guybehindbars:

Just take them out of the wrappers and put them in a humidor. Can't tell where they came from w/o wrappers.

Also why you can't bring them into the country if they have no identifying marks. You have to switch the wrappers. Or accept the fact that most Cuban cigars are mostly marketing since the biggest families and some of the very best rollers fled Cuba when Castro came to power. That doesn't mean there aren't good Cuban cigars out there, they're just not the ones that will show up in the duty free or hotel shops where people buy their cigars when traveling.

Look for pre-embargo Cubans, which are still legal and not really much more expensive. Also, the best cigar in the world today is the Fuente Opus X, the only 100 percent Dominican cigar and it's production is limited to ensure quality. You can find them on the Internet, but can only find them in shops east of the Mississippi.

I'd recommend Padron 3000. Great tasting maduro cigar. Also can't go wrong with the Olivo line.

Start off by saying the brown bag special from cigarsinternational.com is a great deal. 10 random, fine quality cigars at a great price of $20.

Also, becoming a huge fan of 5 Vegas

Also thinking about purchasing a second humidor.

I used to go to the humidor at Manhattan Town Center Mall quite a bit.

If you begin to smoke cigars on a regular basis (lets say one every week or two), do NOT buy from a local cigar shop. You can get twice the amount of quality cigars for the same or lower price online. I bought a 50 capacity humidor and 40 cigars under $140.00 including shipping at cigarsinternational.com. This goes for most online cigar websites.

Fuente Opus X robostos for me.

When we were in Mexico in December I smoked the hell out of Cuban Cohibas. Verdict? Same as other Cohibas but you feel much cooler.

I don't smoke them anymore. They make my mouth taste all yucky and stuff.

Plan on smoking one or two this weekend since the weather is supposed to start warming up. Humidor is still at 70/70. Going to be great.

Bro in law should ask the tobacconist for the oiliest, darkest cigar he has. That would be the perfect birthday gift.

they are good to chew on, which is nice when its 10 degrees outside and you can't smoke inside anywhere other than Olathe

You can still smoke (inside) in Olathe? Weird.
