Cali_Ed Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 Hello guys, had a buddy from work give me a cigar to try out. I really liked it it was smooth and had flavor to it. I don't usually smoke cigars so in combination with a ipa beer it gave me a buzz lol. Now to the point what do you guys reccomend for a beginner.

Robocop1051 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 You want to look for "Dominican grown Cuban seed". Cuba has been damn near completely over harvested. Their soil isn't what it once was. The Dominicans weren't effected by the embargo, and some forward thinking entrepreneurs took advantage. They bought the Cuban tobacco seed and planted in their own soil. I have a Dominican hand rolling shop in my beat. I used to frequent their shop on my lunch breaks. A good cigar shop always has a tasting event..... don't forget your burboun/scotch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 /\/\/\/\ Yup. All the capitalist cigar makers fled Cooba when Castro came to power...Cuban cigars are just running on legend-status now. Lots of beginners like Macanudo and Pardigas.

EasyEJL Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 At the "I don't care what i'm paying for this" end, is the Camacho Triple Madurohttp://www.famous-smoke.com/brand/camacho+triple+maduro+cigarsat the "crap I don't have $2 to spend" is the Trader Jack'shttp://www.famous-smoke.com/search/?kw=trader%20jacksThe triple maduro is a "regular" cigar, the trader jack's is a spiced one, but the best bang for the buck.

wetncold Posted May 14, 2015 Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 My dad smoked a lot of macanudos I my self prefer a dip of grizz from time to time and I'm alllll good Yep. Sitting here with my dip of Grizzly now. I have a friend who was a team mate in the NAVY who set up a diving business in Spain and he is a good source of Coobans. But for me, Grizzly Longcut Natural is as good as Cope and cheaper. Been dipping since '69, when all hairy chested frogmen were expected to do so.

sketch Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 I like to make it last! A cigar is low and slow.. These are good to go on a budget. 5 years and two left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 15, 2015 Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 NEVER relight a cigar. The smoke goes stale inside the cigar and ruins the tobacco. Also, for the same reason, you should light with a torch and not a butane. Definitely not a zippo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
