Cigars

[Evil Knevil]

A lot nicer than your momma was last night!

Ha! I said it.

If you can't beat them.

I now take great delight in visiting the places that used to leave me reeking of smoke and along with friends, have around 5 cigars each in an hour. By the time we leave, they are devoid of customers. Consider it my reward for their pro-smoking stance.

But usually I do smoke at home (all me flatmates do from time to time) or in the open air.

5 in an hour. You must be smoking the cheap disgusting brands. A good Cohiba will last me an entire round of golf. (4 hours) A good cigar should never be rushed. Barbarians.

You're such a freak

[Provost Harrison]

Cigars, a strongly pro free market stance. I think you are turning into Cyril Sneer Stew

Hamlets are more of a cigarello, no?

I've heard of the Romeo and Juliet. What are they like?

Quite good. The one I've had was quite rustic, a big bold cigar. Nice flavour though. And it's Romeo y Julieta, since being the brand name, it's not translated (just to help searches).

Well I hope you're not inflicting your nasty smoke on others...

Of course not. I only smoke outside and around other people smoking.

Of constant smoking That's a hell of a large Cigar (Churchill? Double Corona?) I reckon one should last between one and two hours.

But as mentioend earlier, Bodds doesn't smoke good cigars

It is. I am not sure of the precise difference, but I have seen them branded as cigarellos. I guess that's just a small cigar, or a cigarette that is wrapped in leaf not paper (depending on how you look at it).

Love 'em. Prefer Puros Indios or Bahia for an everyday smoke, Cohiba or Romeo Y Julieta for a special occasion. As for size, I tend to prefer robustos or coronas, though (like rah, I suspect) I'll smoke a Churchill or double corona when golfing.

Well I am playing golf so it's not completely constant. Just smoking between shots.
Cohibas are normal large sized Cuban cigars. Not much bigger than what you normally see in a large cigar.

rah: Cohiba is a brand, and make all kinds, from Petit Coronas, through Especials (sp) and Lanceros, to Robustas.

BTW: Don't you live in the US? How do you get Cuban cigars? My brothers were confiscated at customs trying

[rah]

That's why I'm not sure what type of Cohiba it is. They use a generic white and yellow stripped Cohiba label that I'm sure is just slapped on after it's in the country. Probably about 6 inches long and about 3/4 inches in diameter, so it's not a petite. There are many private brokers that sell them in the US. Surprisingly in the open which is strange considering the illegality of it. I've smoked enough of them that have been smuggled in from canada to know that they are real. I'm not enough of a devoted expert to recognize the different sizes. I don't smoke many cigars since most of them usually suck. But I'll always take a Cohiba when offered.

Any info on sizes would be appreciated since I'm rather ignorant about them.

[Solly]

I don't know much about sizes either. The ones I have, though, are around 4 to 5 inches long and less than half an inch in diameter. Last about ten minutes.

[Sprayber]

I hate smokers of cigs but I have developed a taste for cigars in the past three years. Are the Cubans really that good or are they just blowing smoke up are asses. If they are, which one of y'all gonna send me some

[Solly]

Are they brutal?
