I'm a cigar smoker. Love to sit out back and smoke a cigar. Really love it when the egg and I both smoke. The dogs think that I am nuts, but the egg is my friend.
-
A lot of cigar smokers here but @Hapster is probably the most prolific. I've been on an Aroma de Cuba kick for the last few weeks, really good stick in my opinion.

A lot of good cigars out there. I have golf course cigars and kicking back relaxing cigars. I really like the Torano line for a good solid reasonably priced smoke.Dearborn MI
-
I love smoking cigars while relaxing after a long week. I enjoy Artueo Fuente Hemingways mostly, but I really need to branch out this Spring and Summer.Detroit, MIYOLO... It's like Carpe Diem for idiots.

I'm a big Arturo Fuente fan as you can see from my profile photo. I've been smoking since about the early 90's. I like pipes too. I tend to have one when cooking or after. Opus X is my favorite.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

@hapster - the man. I have Cubans.....Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

Fuente's are good, some are quit mild for me. As far as Cubans I don't see them being superior just different. Many people think they are better because of the fact we can't get them legally in the states. I've had some good Cubans and some I couldn't even smoke. Everyone has a different flavor profile for their palette. I smoked two last week when I was out of the country. Enjoyed one and let the other one go after 1/2 was smoked because I didn't like it. I was given some cigars that were $100 cigars that I didn't care for and I've had some $2.50 Corazon's by Davidoff from Cigar International that I just ordered more of for Golf Course smokes.......Greg, just received more 5 Vegas Gold yesterday (another Golf Course cigar) . I think the regulars are good but the Maduro's are horrible. Even after 7 months of aging the tobacco burns inside the wrapper and they don't stay lit and have a horrible draw and are rolled too tight.Dearborn MI
-
I'm a big fan of CAO Americas, and Alec Bradley Family Blends. For you 5 Vegas fans, try the Animal. It will not disappoint. I usually have 1 smoke per week. Usual it's not while egging. It's usually when I'm just hanging win the neighbor. For me, cigar smoking is a social thing.Mark Annville, PA

Not sure how prolific I'll be... have some kind of chest cold deal, doc sent me for chest xrays yesterday. I'm sure I'm fine, just more of cya...
Anyway

Isn't it in the BGE handbook that you must have a cigar lit for the unit to operate correctly???Gurkha Cellar Reserve for this kid.

I also like, Punch, Joya De Nicaragua, Joya De Monterrey and many more. I have XIKAR cutter and love it. I have a cheap $12 lighter that has been the best one i have ever had. I have spent $60 to $100 on them and most of them sucked. I to have had some good Cubans and some bad ones.XL, WSM, Coleman Road Trip Gas GrillKansas City, Mo.

Xikar lighters rock. They stand behind their warranty, too. I had one replaced for a chipping finish. Replaced by the dealer on the spot.Kemah, TX

5 Vegas is good, give Undercrown a try from Drew Estate, or go all out and get a Liga Privada if you can find them! Been sick the last couple of weeks from allergies and post sickness cough or something so I've stayed away from the cigars.. For now :(Magnolia, Tx. --- Go Navy! --- Undercrown Robusto --- Gurkha Ancient Warrior --- Acid Cold Infusion --- Liga Privada No. 9

Liga Privadas are great sticks. Cigar International has them in abundance. It's so nice living close to the superstore in Hamburg. Heading there tomorrow.Mark Annville, PA

Lucky dog! My humidor is almost maxed in capacity so buying another box wouldn't be a great idea at the moment.Magnolia, Tx. --- Go Navy! --- Undercrown Robusto --- Gurkha Ancient Warrior --- Acid Cold Infusion --- Liga Privada No. 9

I like most everything. Here's my "humidor". It's a 120 qt Igloo cooler.Packerland, Wisconsin
-
Liga's are good.Under crowns are good but put more smoke at rest than when you are drawing on the cigar. I've never had a cigar smoke as much as an Under Crown.Dearborn MI

Very nice. How're you humidifying in there?ChokeOnSmoke said:I like most everything. Here's my "humidor". It's a 120 qt Igloo cooler.Large BGE and Medium BGE
