Alright we hear about every ones favorite maduro's, camaroons and such.
But what is your favorite cheap gars that you have during yard work that if you forget about it you are not out much just good ole kick around that you have just because?

I have Argile's from holts, and cigar.com's well from cigar.com.
What is yours?

Illusione Rothchildes

Here's some good reading material regarding cheap smokes

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showth...ighlight=Cheap

Me personally, I'll reach for Quintero Brevas or some Partagas Mille Fluers. Both are solid smokes for golf, yard work, etc. I don't mind too much if I have to pitchy them halfway through.

I don't have a habit where I have to smoke a cigar while working in the yard. I only have a cigar when it's leisure time and reserve it for my weekends or holidays. I've always maintained that and I feel I must maintain that type of control. If you're selling cigars for a living I guess you don't want to read such things.

But then again; if this is considered work and I did it in the yard, during yard work I would smoke all types of cigars (but still mostly CC's)

I don't HAVE to smoke one, but I enjoy having one while doing yard work. As I'm mucking around in the yard the cigar may get dropped, knocked around, fall into water, etc., so I choose a cigar that has minimal value but still has some flavor. Hence, a yard gar.

I'm not breaking balls here, but I see these types of posts on here sometimes and wonder why reply in a "Yard GARS" thread? It's like going into the "Gin" thread solely for the purpose of saying "Yuck, I don't like Gin. If I'm going to have a drink it'll be Scotch!"

Frankly, at 55, I feel old and wise enough to know to smoke my best cigars first and never keep anything in my humidor other than what I consider my best cigars.
In this manner, even while doing yard work, I smoke my best cigars.
Life is way too short to do anything less if one can.

After the Winter from Hell, I am so looking forward to getting outside, and making sure my wife is doing a good job pulling weeds. No, wait, scratch that.

After umpteen visits by the Polar Vortex (thanks derrek), I can't wait to mow the 'back forty' while enjoying a fine cigar, and listening to some good tunes on the headphones. Most relaxing.

There is a simple (and very obvious) reason I posted a reply in this thread even though I rarely smoke during yard work:

I AM A LOUDMOUTH and can't resist the urge to reply when I read posts

Why do I even read these topics you ask? It's a combination of my need for both entertainment and education.

Having said this I do however (sometimes) smoke in between yard work and/or when taking a break from walking/hiking in which case I usually pick anything short of EL's, very well aged cigars or other 'special' smokes. Making these smokes my equivalent of a yard gar. Ergo... I read the post; ergo... I replied; ergo ...

...

wait a sec. Am I going in circles?

No, I didn't ask why people read these threads who don't have "yard gars". I asked why bother to reply.

tsolomon · 03-13-2014, 09:26 AM

There are only a few times when I have a yard project that allows me time to smoke a cigar. Washing the car, cleaning the pond and trimming the shrubs are all activities where I can smoke a cigar. My choice of a cigar is usually one that I enjoy a lot like an Illusione Rothchild or MK, or something that is new that I haven't had a chance to try it yet, but mainly it's going to be a short cigar.

People make one or two posts that, even if you don't approve are still about the topic of yard gars, if they don't smoke them and they say that that's a viable answer. Calling them out and making a big deal out of it only compounds the issue that you are complaining about, a mini self-fulfilling prophecy as it were, then you have someone like me that just feels like he has to post the drivel I'm posting right now and around and around we go.

I'm sorry I forget, what were we talking about originally?

Oh yah, lighten up Francis

Monte Gran Reservas .. usually pitch them about 2/3 of the way down, get kind of tired of them fast.
