I love the #9 and T52. For a shorter, casual stick, try the Papas Fritas. They’re about $6 and use the leftovers that don’t make it into the more expensive Liga cigars.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Two posts above yours, he’s your guy. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Speaking of cigars... What happened with the Arfcom cigar? There was a member here that was putting together a plan for possibly having a group buy. I haven't heard anything new, and can't find the thread anymore. Two posts above yours, he’s your guy. Still on my to-do list. It's been more difficult than I expected, without just being cheesy and taking a production cigar, putting a new band on it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: BLUF: Only suckers seek out and pay ridiculous prices for cubans. 90%+ of "cubans" available around the world are counterfeit. When castro took over the tobacco farms, the growers took their seed and fucked off to Nicaragua, Dominica, etc. New world cigars are every bit as good and often come from the same seed lineage as cubans. But at the end of the day, cigar tastes are extremely individual, just like women and liquor. Find what you like and enjoy the fuck out of it. I wouldn’t say 90% around the world. In Spain there are very few counterfeits. In the Caribbean (outside Cuba) there are very few genuine Cuban cigars. One of the frustrating things is that few non-Cuban cigars taste anything like Cubans, despite the fact that there’s a huge amount of knowledge in growing and rolling tobacco outside Cuba. Cubatabaco and Habanos don’t deserve its tobacco—everything is fucked up there and the quality control sucks. I wish rollers in Nicaragua and Florida had access to Cuban tobacco, because they would treat it how it deserves. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My favorite is the Camacho Triple Maduro. It's always enjoyable. Quote HistoryQuoted: My favorite is the Camacho Triple Maduro. It's always enjoyable. Quoted: LFD Digger maduro. Only catch is, you need a full meal and about 3 hours. Good GOD. I didn't realize they made the Double Ligeros in a 8.5"x60. I love LFD double ligeros, and strong cigars in general, but I think I would be puking by the end of that. When I smoke LFD double ligeros, I mainly smoke the chisel-tips. I love the Liga Privada series. I just wish everyone else hadn't figured out how good they are. It's exactly what happened with Blanton's, demand has sky-rocketed. This thread was perfect timing. I got the notification that my box of Drew Estate x Pappy Van Winkle Flying Pigs was delivered today. VERY excited to try those out. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have no desire to get mouth cancer or throat cancer or lung cancer or any of those other things that humans can get from smoking that crap. Me either. That’s why I smoke cigars and pipes neither of which are inhaled and I smoke one or the other maybe once a week or less. Statistically it’s not enough to make a difference. All the cancer studies google will throw at you are daily smokers and they don’t even get lung cancer. The more you know |

There are three different Herrera Esteli blends, and one for the Nica Rustica. They're all fantastic. Drew Estates got famous with their infused cigars, but their non-flavored stuff deserves more attention. |

I just can't make myself smoke anything other than Caldwell's anymore. Long Live the King and The King is Dead are all I need in my humidor from now on. They typically burn good and the flavor is consistent from smoke to smoke.
IMO they are underpriced for what you get. Generally get them for about $11 each. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Authentic Habanos SA cigars are sublime. The catch is 99% of 'Cuban cigars' sold in the tourist locales are completely fake. You've got to know your source before you even get there or you'll quite likely unknowingly end up with fakes and come away with the feeling of "I don't see what the big deal is about Cubans?!" |
