Any other cigar afficianados here?

[Oswald Bastable]

Okay, so this is a bullshit thread, given all that is before us.

However, I am 64...my government wants to kill me, the medical profession wants to kill me, the pharmaceutical industry wants to kill me, Soros Gates and Schwab all want me dead as a useless eater.

So what the hell...we're in Vegas...let's party!!!

If you are a stogie fan, what are your faves? Do you prefer 'em light or heavy flavor wise, specific brands/formulations/sizes that really pique your pallet?

Hey...if the world is goin' to hell in a hand basket in the very near future, I'ma enjoy some gustatory flavor along the way.

Some of my faves:

Sancho Panza Double Maduro
Punch Rare Corojo
CAO: Brazilia and Flathead
AJ Fernandez San Lotano: Ovals, Requiems...hell, damn near anything AJ
Gurkha Grand Reserve
Padron - damn near anything, but the 1926 Anniversary is exquisite...wish I could afford the damn things...

Edited post...I posted Perdomo, should have been Padron...bad job by me...

I love smoking cigars but I am a cheap bastard so I usually smoke the JR knockoffs. I smoke 2-3 a week and name brand cigars would break the bank.

I like the Macanudo Robustos but am currently smoking some Punch knockoffs.

When I smoked, I preferred Wolf Brothers Sweet Rum Crooks. They went out of business about 25 years ago and I still have two boxes of 50 still in plastic wrappers. I have an idea they're super dry now, but that's okay. I'm not planning on smoking them, anyway.

Just keeping them for memories. They were the absolute best smelling and tasting cigars I ever smoked.

They can, actually, be reconditioned to some extent. The oils evaporate when they dry out, do not return...they'll never be as tasty as when fresh, but buy a cheap humidor, let 'em marinate for a time. If nothing else, they'll be a good trade item when SHTF.

Napots...a relative cheapie you might like: https://www.cigarsinternational.com/...igars/2029090/

Quite tasty for a middle of the road smoke.

I might have to give that a try it looks like my style

Any of you remember "Tinderbox" stores? I used to buy their 6-7" cigars that were about a "44 ring" size, usually with the darker maduro wrappers.
The last cigars I actually smoked were some that I bought in Florida when I was down visiting family back in '03. This was one of those little places where they were hand-made and pricier than I liked but I thought - "What the hell. When would be the next time I'd be back in Florida?"

Fuck it...the powers that be have decided to plunge the world into anarchy and chaos...they've spent us into an untenable situation and the only way out (as they see it) is WW III...ya can't complain if you've been vaporized...ya know?

Buy a box of Punch Rare Corojos and live a bit before the mushrooms sprout.

Currently loving the toothy taste of a San Lotano Oval Maduro...Robusto...and wishing it was a Churchill for that extra 2 inches of flavorful fun...
