So I do enjoy a GOOD cigar from time to time... How many of you do and what do you like??
I am partial to a small ring gauge, 24-34 and my favs are:
Cohiba Panetelas 4.5" x 26 easy draw and light-medium flavor, I smoke these about 2/3 then toss.
Montecristo Especial No. 2 about 6" x 38 Nice medium leather front with a pretty smooth finish.
Partagas Serie D No. 4, 4 7/8 x 50 Great flavor, medium body for a Partaga and the largest I will smoke.
These are all true Cubans.

Once in a blue moon I do enjoy one.

I use to be a manager of a cigar shop for 4 years. Love Davidoff cigars. 42 to 50 ring gauge for me.
-
I enjoy a good cigar now and then. Mostly when camping with the guys or lately while a long smoke is going on with one of the grills. Gotta be outside to thoroughly enjoy the stogie tho. I prefer 50 ring size in a maduro wrapper from Gurkha, Padron, or La Gloria, but anytime someone wants to give me a cigar well that's a good one too!

I enjoy a good cigar on very rare occasions. Had some good Cubans in Canada. I am not on the high end for cigars normally, I buy some little Macanudo Ascots from JR Cigars and hit 2 or 3 a week while reading LTBBQ and having a cold beer.
-
I got into cigars 20 odd years ago when they started to get trendy. I was really into it. But the trendiness also made the prices go out of this world. So haven't had one in a while. I'm with Sparky, like the 50 ring gauge.

I enjoy Gurkha Park Avenue from Cigars International.....for a good yard gar, I like Bahia Blue line.........torpedo for me please....
-
Years ago I was a fan of the Cuban Cohiba Brand. Now that I'm a quitter I dare not try one :(

I have traveled Internationally for a long time and have always had access to Cubans. My all time favorite is the Montecristo No. 2 and also enjoy the smoothness of the Romeo Jullieta. I always check the walk-in humidors as I go through duty free and have found some good inexpensive Cubans like the Quintero and Jose Pedro. My favorite non-Cubans are Padrons and Rocky Patels from DR.
I enjoy sitting on the deck with a good cigar, some straight up Single-Malt, and my wife who loves the smell of cigars while the Bradley is rolling smoke on some ribs.
-
I'm a fan of acid cigars, foundry cigars, and Romeo and Juliets. 50 ring gauge or larger. Prefer a mild to medium cigar because I'm typically having a beer with my stogie. Come on spring! I wanna lounge on the deck with some perfect mix smokin' while I'm enjoying a stogie!
-
Lately my favorites have been Brickhouse Mighty Might 6X60 Maduro and the Diesel 6X60.
Since we have moved WAY south from MN, able to enjoy a stick, outside, year round.
I've always shopped on-line at either Cigars Int or Famous Smoke. No outrageous cig tax. Never had a problem with either one.

Wife and I used to travel to Cuba once a year before kids got in the way. Always enjoyed Cohibas, we always brought 2 boxes home with us.

Add to the list of reasons I dislike Canadians. Just kidding. Never had a bona fide Cuban. Someday.

Smuggled some Cubans in from Jamaica many years ago... illegal in the U.S.
Wife enjoys one after a big meal.
Don't know if she can bring any back from Mexico this week.

Chef, I was told from a good source how to do this. He is an American living in a resort town 150 miles south of the border, owns a resort bar, and runs the mail route between the American enclave there and the U.S. I asked him if I could mail Cubans back with him. He told me, " i'll have you arrested! But if you want me to mail the labels, I will do that, you then cross the border with non-labeled cigars or buy a cheap box of non-Cubans and put those labels on the real Cubans. Nobody is the wiser". We brought 4 boxes of cheap Mexican cigars over that were really Romeo Y Julieta and Cohibas.

the tubes and the short partagas are the Cubans.

I still have half a box of Cohibas, wonder if I can smuggle them to the gathering?

Nice use of a cigar box.
I mostly smoke cubans. I have a guy in Canada that sells to me.... never an issue.
I think I am up for one in about 3 months. I have reallly cut back due to kids.
Not a really clear pic but looks like a fuente and a romeo & juliet.... i think
