Been smoking for just about two years now. A couple more weeks I think. I've had a blast with the cigar culture, and meeting all the people I've met throughout this. Also managed to pick up a bunch of new hobbies with it...pipes, coffee, liquor (bourbon and rum are favorites). Between this place and my time at the other site, I've had a total blast for the past two years.
Some of my favorite cigars are: NC: Padrons Oliva Vs Tatuajes Cabaiguan Pepin CC: Partagas Bolivar SCdlH Principes Montecristo LGC MdO |

They were re-blended about 4-5 years ago and they are nowhere near as strong as they were before. I miss those.

That is too bad. They were a very tasty smoke. Of course, strength isn't everything. If the change in the blend produced a bit smoother smoke, but still on the fuller side of medium-bodied, that wouldn't be a bad thing. I remember them as having a tendency to get a bit harsh.

At a charity golf tournament 3-4 yrs ago I spotted
a humi with Excalibur and RyJ on the Pro Shop counter. It was a creamy smoke, and I wondered if all cigars had that trait. Been looking to repeat that experience ever since. My favorites are: AF Hemi maduro Ashton San Cristobal Gurkha Ancient Warrior RP Olde World Reserve PAM Chemyst ![]() |

Shoot, I haven't been in the game long enough to even say really. Been smoking for almost a year now, but since about December I kind of dropped my NC experimentation for Dark Side experimentation. So as for non-Cubans, I haven't done much but sample around a bit. But here's what I've been attracted to with so far on the NC side, in no particular order:
Tatuaje Joya de Nicaragua Oliva Padron Saint Luis Rey Romeo y Julieta |

Have you tried the Excalibur and the RyJ again - from a different vendor?

I was a cigarette smoker for 40+ years. Gave them up in July 2007. ( Yep, I'm an old guy)Started smoking cigars last May. I work with 2 younger guys who are very knowledgeable cigar smokers. They have led me on the right paths to enjoying good cigars. My favorites to this point:
601 Green Oscuro Oliva V La Aurora Gold Preferido Oliva "O" Maduro Padron 3000 or 4000 |

I smoked maybe half a dozen a year until I quit smoking cigarettes
6 yrs ago. Thought I would smoke a few cigars again about 5 months ago. Well with the help of Smokin Gator, BigAsh, and others, along With this place and the devil site, I now smoke at least that a week. Even bought my first 'box' My favorite so far is the CAO LX2

I've been smoking since the divorce in 2007. I smoke a lot of variety thanks to the passes, trades and cbid, but I have only a few real favorites...
Perdomos Pepins Padrons JdNs RP 1990 Casa Magna My taste isn't all that, and I have a lot to learn and a lot to try yet. I have to say that I got a Diablo Picante in a pass, and I really liked it. Bought a box on clearance from Famous, and they are very much to my liking, more than any other dominican I've had. Probably indicative of my inexperience. But as you can see, I'm a solid Nicaraguan fan. |
