Cigar that makes you smile when you light up?

07-08-2009, 05:49 PM

Hello CA brothers and sisters. I was wondering about this just now: which cigar makes you smile when you light it up or before you take the torch to it?

Looking for a cigar that you KNOW is going to be a treat.

For me, I always enjoy firing up an Avo Domaine #50 figurado. Just something about holding that perfectly formed, silky smooth wrapped cigar that brings enjoyment.

What say you CA?

Any cigar I can get my hands on lately. I really need a job.

All of them. There's just something relaxing about a good smoke, so as long as it's not a dog rocket, I'm probably kicking back and smiling.

Any of the older (pre-99) Cuban cigars are always a treat. Old Davidoffs and Dunhills as well, whether CC or NC. Almost anything Tatuaje or Pepin, especially with some age on it, will make me light up like a Christmas tree.

I have to agree with Tanith...very relaxing to sit back with a cold drink and light one up. Now if you want to see me do somersaults then it would be my dream smoke...an 80's Davidoff (5000).

I can personally vouch for Tanith and her enjoyment of the smoking experience. Laid back, smooth, no worries and always gracious. I'm just not so sure about her attraction to snakes

Part of why I'm smiling and relaxing when I smoke a cigar is that I'm not at work and there's nothing around that can kill or hospitalize me if I move wrong.

I've yet to meet a cigar that doesn't make me smile when I light it.
