Cigars thread

[Monika H.]

Got the idea by noticing the Whiskey thread.
I'm not sure if a thread about cigars goes in the Food subforum, but since it's a consumable I think it would fit well here.

As for myself, unlike my spouse I don't like cigarettes at all, but I do allow myself a cigar from time to time.
So far my favorite brand is the Don Tomas Nicaragua, it has a good price and a good quality, smokes well and it's not too cheap to be a ghetto cigar.

Fellow Kiwis and cigars lovers, what's your favorite brand and type of cigars?

Cigars are only good when you gut them and put that green stuff innit.

I mostly stick with cigarettes, but I enjoy a cigar on occasion. I usually get Perdomos. They're a little on the cheap side (about $8 each) but they're not bad. I don't spend much money on cigars seeing as how I smoke them maybe 3 or 4 times a year.

I see @Argh My Cigar finally got a thread

Finally a thread worth talking about. I usually go through about 2 boxes a month, but I always try something new. Though some of my favorites so far come from caldwell. Like the blind man's bluff or the last tsar. I am also partial to a lot of alec bradley stuff.

Macanudos. Preferably Maduros, in a robusto ring size.

Montecrisco cigars number 4 with a glass of cognac is the best pairing anyone could ever imagine.

Gurkha makes some of the oiliest shit I ever smoked, and that’s why I love them. Spec-Ops is my all time favorite and I still use the combat knives each case came with. Treat yourself to a Ghost if you get the chance.

Cigars that came with combat knife?
They really wanted to appeal to the real man.
No cigar cutter needed I guess.

I love a good cigar, it’s a birthday tradition of mine to have a real nice one. Unfortunately the ‘Rona has closed the local tobacconist, so it’s ghetto boi cigars for me on my birthday tomorrow.

Cigarsinternational is a good site to pickup some sticks during the pandemic. Hell, I use them over my local B&M half the time cause they're so overpriced. Still loved going there, the smell hits you as soon as you open the door and it's just heavenly. Why are things that cause cancer so nice/pleasant/cool? Smoking, eating junk food, drinking, nuking shit, all this awesome shit causes cancer.

Do you know anything about their shipping to Canada? Anything in regards to customs or import duties or anything? I know that's a big problem from some online retailers over the border, which is why some shops have resorted to discrete packaging. I did take a look there, though, and it looks like some pretty stellar selection and their deals on samplers aren't bad at all, wouldn't mind giving that a go if the customs fees aren't too bad.

Picked up a few of the 2020 Filthy hooligans. They are a bit tuff to get a hold of, but if you can I highly recommend. Candela wrappers are underrated, and only the sexiest people smoke them.

I remember once a relative smuggled a box of Cuban Cohibas and gave it to me. My friends and I had a few wonderful evenings around those. Sipping Maker’s Mark while smoking Cuban Cohibas was wonderful. Trump should go ahead and legalize Cuban cigars since we all know he probably has his own private stash of them anyway.

Who in their right mind would eat a cigar, let alone consider them food?

I found a box of Alec Bradley cigars a while back and enjoyed it, even though it hadn't been properly stored and was a bit dried out.

Today I found a pouch of those 99 cent cigarillos that blacks will buy from gas stations. The ones that come with a plastic holder/stem at the base. Tasted pretty foul even though it came out of a sealed and unopened pouch. Supposed to be cherry flavor, but just has a very bitter alkaloid chemical taste to it, more than is pleasant.

This white boi smoking black and milds, *sucks teeth*. As for the alec bradley's, im particularly fond of their black market and filthy hooligan labels.
