First cigar in a year

Whipper Snapper · 02-28-2009, 07:51 PM

Ok, so let's suppose that an old friend of yours (cough me) might like to get back into the swing of things at some point. Let's say this friend hasn't had a cigar for a year, or any tobacco period for a couple of months.

What cigar would you recommend to said friend and why?
I'm just curious as to what you all would say. Yes, said friend has been out of the cigar loop for some while...
but that doesn't mean he's forgotten everything either.

I would say a Monte White. The only reason I say this is I smoked cigars off and on for a while...a social thing really. Just recently did it start to become a real hobby for me. The Monte White was the first stick I smoked in this phase of my smoking and I must say it hit the spot. Not to mention they are not too expensive. Nice bang for the buck and a nice smoke...just my

Hey... I am a fan of the Monte White as well. Another tasty on is the RyJ Habana Reserve. Can't go wrong with either one IMHO.

Couldn't agree more. Both are very nice cigars.

Padron 1926 mad.
Full bodied smooth and OOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO tasty.
You and your mouth will take the tasty train to delicious land.

JaKaacH · 02-28-2009, 08:50 PM

The Diamond Crown Maximus are a great med. smoke..yummie

Whipper Snapper · 02-28-2009, 08:47 PM

Mmm. perhaps a padron is another stick for me to think about.
I absolutely love their 1964 el principe's (I actually prefer the naturals over the maduros however)

BengalMan · 02-28-2009, 09:10 PM

Check out the new Oliva Connecticut Reserve. Great mild smoke, buttery and creamy profile with a little Nicaraguan kick.

03-01-2009, 10:09 AM

I'd go with the Cabaiguan as was recommended earlier. Great mild-medium smoke.

troutbreath · 03-01-2009, 04:18 PM

What did you like before? I would probably go to a Hemingway, any size, or the aforementioned RyJ Habana Reserve - that's a great budget smoke.

Whipper Snapper · 03-11-2009, 09:39 PM

Well, I had an avo le 08 last friday. It was delicious. I quickly remembered why I don't smoke anymore though. Gosh, cigars are a luxury and are pricey for a college student!

Either way, it was a great cigar.
