    Cigar Smokers Check In

    Nothing pairs with sports and a good cup of coffee or alcoholic beverage like a fine cigar.

    What are your go-to cigars?

    Some of mine:

    Brick House natural
    CAO Brazilia
    Don Tomas Maduro
    Padron 1964 Anniversary
    Arturo Fuente Short Story
    Quorum

    Hoping the US lifts the trade embargo with Cuba soon, so we can get some reasonably priced Cubans in North America!

    Lifting the embargo would be the absolute worst thing for getting Cubans at decent prices.

    They are easy for Americans to get now and very affordable. Once the floodgates open to the US, the quality will go down and the prices will skyrocket.

    I've got to try Tatuaje, as I've heard nothing but good things.

    Is the Opus X worth the money? I just can't see them being almost twice as good as a Padron 1964.

    Oh, and I forgot to mention the Camacho Triple Maduro in my OP. Had one recently and it was a great cigar too.

    Seriously. A cigar a day means he'd have to live 22 years longer. Which probably won't happen because he smokes cigars.

    Guess its like collecting wine when you are that much into them.

    I see Feuntes go for up to 75 bucks each. You'd have to love smoking to burn one of those. I have enough trouble dealing with a regular cigarette costing 2 bucks each down here now.

    Big O was averaging like 12 a day at the bash. Let's just say we didn't have to worry about mosquitoes on the patio.

    Just like everything else, any idiot can find a good $200 bottle of wine or a $20/cigar.

    I have smoked some OPUS Xs and some Cubanos, BUT when I was burning 3-5 a day I had to shop and find value.

    Best cigar I ever smoked was a Juan Clemente Churchill. Nice , upscale smoke shop in Mass had a box at the register.
    Marked 1/2 price. I asked the guy why and he said b/c they we unwrapped and nobody wanted them.
    I bought a couple, lit one up on my way home, turned directly around and bought 3 1/2 boxes.

    The flavor was unreal and so cool it was air conditioned. I savored those for about a year. Never had anything close ever since.
    About $4 a stick.
