Any cigar smokers out there?

I'm mainly a cigarette smoker and my uncle handed me a Cuban Exile Cigar which I've now come to enjoy. I also plan to experiment on different cigar types and I was wondering if anyone else on here is a cigar smoker and has any brands they would like to suggest.

I dabble in cigar smoking, I tend to like the milder ones like macanudos

I used to smoke those crappy little swisher sweets and black and milds. No serious cigars though.

I do enjoy cigars and tobacco pipes but currently abstain due to certain current obligations in my life. As far as which ones I have smoked, I'm the type to rarely stick with a single brand. As such, the brand I might use depends upon my mood at the moment.mindstorm

I'm actually surprised to hear that from you.

Like a badass Cigar pic thread, nice! :P

i used to be a big cigar buff but i have slowed down in the last few years. my favorites are the Arturo Fuente Hemingway and Rocky Patel Vintage 1992. you cant go wrong with either of these in any size.

I suggest not buying cheap cigars. It seems that certain brands/flavors of cheap cigars literally will just make someone sick. Seen it happen and it happend to me with one flavor.

Go to cigars.com they have a really good variety or go to your local tobacco shop and they can suggest you some nice cigars. Cigars that are expensive are so worth it.

I very occasionally smoke a cigar... VERY occasionally... mouth/throat/lung/bladder cancer just isn't worth any more. My favs are H. Upmann's Sir Winston, Montecristo #2, a few Romeo y Julietas, and the darker Cohibas.

I've been known to smoke a cigar or two after a festive event.

Like, a few times a year, if that. More than that, and I stand a p. good chance of unquitting again. I love breathing carcinogens, but cancer sounds less enjoyable.

[QUOTE="Frame_Dragger"][QUOTE="mindstorm"] I enjoy them in moderation and it's been over a year since I have had one. :cry: One of my favorite things to do is grab a Greek grammar book and translate the Bible on the back porch with a pipe in hand. :Pmindstorm

I smoke about a pack a week usually, although I haven't bought any for almost a month. Not trying to quit, I'm just getting poor :lol:

I smoke cigars from time to time as well

do black and milds count?

No, I don't enjoy putting carcinogens in my body.Fightingfan

HAHAHA

No, not at all.

I've always wanted to smoke a pipe or cigar but i'm afraid i might get sick or worse addicted like Kramer,

Is it true tho that people who smoke cigars and pipes are socially much higher than your average cigarette smoker?

I've tried one, wasn't an unpleasant experience. Was better than blacks, didn't seem as messy as cigarettes, but not as good as hookah.Welkabonz

Hookah is my favorite also.

Heh I'm going to be honest and say that I have no idea who those people are :P but I personally would replace reading the Bible with reading some of my old Star Wars books :lol:

Fiction is plenty of fun too, don't get me wrong. Herodotus was an old Greek who is respectively called, "The Father of History", and by his detractors, "The Father of Lies." His 'Histories' are concerned with the period of about 557-479 BC, and some details about his own lifetime (484-425 BC) and his travels. It's one of, if not the first historical accounts that is kind of a stylistic ancestor of the modern style... with some obviously huge differences. Carl von Clausewitz wrote, 'On War', which is one of, if not the greatest, modern treatise on warfare. I like to run through 'The Art of War, then, Miyamoto Musashi's 'The Book of Five Rings', and cap it off with, 'On War'. Of course, right now I'm re-reading 'The Dresden Files' since I just got 'Ghost Story', so it's not all history for me. In fact, I read relatively little history... I tend to be more of a fiction and science/psych/medicine wonk.

I have read some of The Art of War, I always start it and can never find time to read more. Sounds like some interesting reads, I'm going to favorite this page and maybe this summer when I have time I can do some more recreational reading
