I think we have had many newcomers since our last cigar thread. What do you like? I am always looking to try new stogies.
Last evening I had a Padron 1964. It was a great smoke. I am also a big fan Montecrosto Whites, Ashton VSG's. I also keep a stock of Gurkha Symphony #4's.

I am NOT trying to start a debate, but have a question for ya'll.
I am young, and am just starting my life in the world. Can you list the reasons why you like to smoke?

Perhaps you can start your own thread on this instead of hijacking mine.

I don't generally smoke (and happen to think cigarettes are disgusting) but I do enjoy a good cigar every now and then. I really only smoke them for a special occasion... good friend or family member gets married, graduation, etc. I enjoy a cigar more for what it represents. I associate a cigar with a celebration with people I'm close with.
While it's not the healthiest thing in the world, certain vices are ok in moderation. IMO abusing a vice can be very unhealthy and problematic, but I also think that the wall-flower, absolute goody-too-shoes is going to miss out on a lot. All people should have a yin and yang.

macanudo makes a cigar called a mantecristo? sure you arent thinking about 2 different companies?
i have a nice little stock pile of Cuban Hoyo De Monterray #2s and Montecristo A's
besides the Hoyos, my favorite cigar for the longest time is the Fuente Fuente Opus X Double Corona.

Breathing is overrated.

OH yeah, a cigar thread! I just got back from the caribbean and picked some Cohiba Siglo Vs. Not a bad smoke, but I still like Dominican cigars the best. They were aged very well. Nice plume.
I think my new favorite are the Dominican Cohiba Black Supremo and the Extra Vigoro.
Some other favorites are Excaliburs, Montecristo Afrique, Partaga Black (love the Maduros) and a very inexpensive one called Onyx Reserve. CAO Brazilias are pretty good but burn too fast for me.
My drink of choice lately with a cigar has been Courvoisier Cognac V.S.O.P.
Hey Shogun, we need to all meet in the middle of the state sometime and do something. Have a nice cigar and hang out somewhere.

I have yet to smoke a Cohiba. I may pick one up this evening. A SWF.com get-together for a smoke and an adult beverage would be great!! The drive home may be a little rough though.
