Ok, we've been tellin' the newcomers they have to provide "the ceegars". Kinda got me to thinking and wondering just how many of y'all enjoy a good ceegar?

I smoke a couple or three a week. I like my cigars mild to medium bodied. Prefer a ring gauge of 48-50 and a length of 5-6". This size is generally called "Robusto". [^]

I like these here and recommend them. Not too expensive, buck and a quarter ($1.25) a stick. [^]

Another cigar I like are these. A bit more expensive but I know a guy that gets in factory 2nds of these and the cost is reasonable, about $2 bucks a stick. [^]

Well, RP, you probably won't talk to me after this, but Muriel Magnum's about as rich as I've ever smoked!!! Never got into the good stuff. I hear you guys talking the terms and I think "Whaddaat??"

Cigars are breath mints for people that eat dog crap!

I like H. Upmann H-2000's and vintage Cameroon's, Red Dot Cohiba's, Hoyo De Monterrey 1066's and whatever my buddy is smoking.

2400,

I've smoked all those at one time or another. Good ceegars!

I'll trade ya a handful of mine for a handful of yours!

Come think of it... I have a Monterrey Excaliber #4 (I think) in my humidor, think I'll have it this evening!

 

[sheepdog]

i smoke a cigar now and then lately its been one every couple months lol.

i have a mix of premiums and a few bundles of the cheaper stuff that are tasty. i like medium to strong, and i ushualy enjoy the cheaper stuff more, ill have to dig out names one of these days.

what do you guys use for humidores?

i started with a cedar box built for 50, but i quickly upgraded to a small cooler, its stays steady, seals better and you dont have to worry about scratching it.

i have a couple pieces of spanish cedar in there to of course.

i realy enjoy some good coffee and a cigar in a relaxing chair out on the porch.

edit: heres a small pic of the collection, i havnt picked anyting up in 3 years and this pic is about that old, they have aged nicely and only a handfull or 2 have been smoked.

Looks pretty serious to me-what is the cedar for?

 

[creepyrat]

the cedar is a natural bug deterrent for anything that likes tobacco it must be spanish cedar though and the sawdust is toxic to humans

i like to make my own humidification devices to, way cheaper a bock of that floral foam from a flower shop or wallmart/meijers will make allot of humidifiers i fill a film can poke some holes and soak it in distilled water for a couple minutes.

i havnt had to refill my film can humidifier in the cooler for a year.

You guys wouldn't want me buyin' the stogies. I occasionally have a rare and hard-to-get Phillies Blunt!

Unfortunately I don't get to down many beers any more. Doctor said I had to give up alcohol and cigarettes quite a few years back. One out of two ain't bad. (I've sure downed a few Millers in my time though.) Nice to know someone else has a taste for 'fine cigars.'

I had my first beer in about 6 years-a LaBatt's Blue about a month ago-stopped keeping it around because I have 3 boys and don't want to cause them a problem...used to drink one every night...I thinks I had one cigar last year-was a Tampa Nugget, if I remember---some things are important-some aren't...but they're nice occasionally.

I like them once in a while - outside only though.

i agree with the outside only thing and moderation beer and a cigar is pretty tasty almost as good as good coffee and a cigar
