5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man

Kreth · 01-18-2010, 03:09 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".

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.

BryanB · 01-18-2010, 03:17 PM

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???

Rabidsquirrel · 01-18-2010, 03:24 PM

I've smoked the Chisel and the V before, haven't had a chance to try the others.

The two times I've smoked the Chisel, I didn't find it to be that strong.

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.

Kreth · 01-18-2010, 03:28 PM

I found the Triple Maddie delicious (nubbed it, in fact), but not overly strong. I was just curious about the others on the list. Like Peter said, maybe I should have used a different title than the one from the article...

Unfortunately, yes. It does.

Mr Edmundo · 01-18-2010, 03:33 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.

I have a Chisel waiting for the next time I smoke something.

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

nevermind.

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.

01-18-2010, 03:58 PM

All good sticks...but I saw no T110 in there. Which will walk over any of em.

01-18-2010, 03:59 PM

The San Christobal was a great cigar!

Kreth · 01-18-2010, 04:00 PM

Keep in mind that the article is from 2/08. The Antano and T110 both came out in 09, right?

I don't know about the T110 but the JdN Antano has been out for a few years at least. I would guess 2006 or earlier.
