Re: Cigar Thread
Well they didn't have one so sorry I can't review. I did go with an H. Upmann cameroon churchill was becoming a rare find around here in that particular size. It was great as usual. One cigar I'll suggest to everybody is the Montecristo Serie C which has a cameroon wrapper. It's amazing. It's slightly mild, but rich and complex enough for any serious smoker to enjoy. Highly recommend it.

Re: Cigar Thread
Ok I have gotten into a fairly heated recurring argument as to the "correct" method of smoking a cigar and wanted to see what most people do. I have always assumed that you should puff a cigar and draw the smoke into your mouth to get the flavor without inhaling. My friend has been telling me that this is a sort of widely spread myth and that cigars should be inhaled, and this is the correct way of smoking them. Is there a correct method to smoking a cigar? What do most people do?

Don't inhale - your friend must be insane.

Don't inhale - your friend must be insane. [/ QUOTE ] Im thinking he didnt mean "inhaled" in teh traditional sense, I think he meant, drawing the smoke, and than "breathing" it so you can actually smell it etc. If you meant inhaled like a cigarette, your friend is [censored] nuts. Otherwise, if he means drawing some of the smoke, and breathing it to "taste" it, than ya, he is kind of right. Its not a "myth", as drawing it into your mouth still gets you flavor, but "breathing" it to get a good sense of the smoke is mandatory to figure out the whole spectrum of taste. This is totally my opinion, and how I smoke, but I smoke a lot of cigars, and this is the most enjoyable way imo. |

Re: Cigar Thread
I need a little help finding a cigar to add to my lineup. Right now I stick to medium-full bodied smokes. Standard five are the Padron 4000, h. upmann cameroon, cao brazilia, montecristo platinum (when i can find it), and the fuente hemmingways. I've having a CAO cameroon later tonight (no doubt my favorite wrapper), but I want to try other brands. What are your favorite smokes from romeo y julietta, AVO, punch (besides rare corojo), etc.?

Re: Cigar Thread
Another newb question. I just recently took up the hobby again after not smoking for a few years. When I smoked before I was seriously uneducated. Anyway, I'm on a strict budget, so started off with a mix of AF Curly Heads and Curly Head Deluxes. While I have read bad reviews of the Deluxe, I actually enjoyed it quite a bit taste wise, however, every fifth cigar or so there would be an annoying occurrence about half-way through. Essentially, I'd be drawing smoke but with ZERO flavor. Not bad flavor, just no flavor, almost like tasting air. Is this common among cheaper cigars? What causes it?
