5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man

Kreth · 01-18-2010, 02:09 PM

Cheesy title, I know, but I stumbled across this article while enjoying a Camacho Triple Maddie. I love a good, strong cigar, so I thought I'd ask my fellow inmates: do you think these smokes live up to the hype? If not, what would be your top 5 of flavorful full-power smokes?

The title should read "5 Cigars That Will Prove You Like Strong Cigars".
Being able to tolerate and/or enjoy strong cigars has nothing to do with "being a man".

Not directed at you, Jeff. I just get tired of all the BS trying to define what it means to be a man. In a forced basso voice, "Smoking Cuban cigars proves you're a real man." or "Smoking RG 50+ proves your a real man".

LFD Cheroot is the stronger than those. It may prove your a man or a nut for smoking them.

"The Camacho Triple Maduro is... just a really good smoke! They are just so flavorful and smooth!!!" (In my best Steve [Ratter's] voice.)

Most of those smokes are faves of several women I know. Does that make them men?

What the hell, did they raid my humidors???

Mine too...all are staples in my humi. Espcially the Camacho Triple Maduro and the 601 Blue...two of my top 5 favorite sticks of all time.

Although I don't believe they are all strong.

Unfortunately, yes. It does.

No, that Adams Apple they have is what makes them men.

BTW, All of those are great tasting cigars to me, and are staples in my barn.

Agreed

I said the same thing as soon as I read the list.

This is worth repeating. I'm a young man, and I've smoked those cigars. They don't make me feel any more manly.

bobarian · 01-19-2010, 11:06 AM

I dont disagree with any of those listed as being strong/full cigars.

Others I would include:

Litto Gomez Diez
El Rico Habano
Habana Leon(Cigar King exclusive)

NCRadioMan · 01-18-2010, 02:15 PM

Just goes to show ya that everyone is different. I think they are all good cigars but, to me, only one is what I would call strong. The Chisel.

Mr Edmundo · 01-18-2010, 02:33 PM

I guess I must be a real man. I didn't realize this until I saw the photos, but I smoked the LFD Chisel at a herf just a couple of weeks ago. Then followed up with a Oliva O perfecto right after. I picked up a chisel just to see if it's really that strong, and ended up accidentally smoking it without even knowing what it was.
Didn't knock me on my a a$$ at all.
Look out women.

They are all good smokes, but they forgot the Paragas Black and the Joya de Nicaragua Antano. Personally the Partagas Black is stronger then any of those listed.
