    So, who here smokes cigars?

    What are your favorite brands?

    What food and drink do you find goes great with a good stogie?

    Do you prefer to chop off the end, or puch a hole in it?

    PLEASE NO ANTI TOBACCO CRUSADERS. WE ALL KNOW IT IS BAD FOR OUR HEALTH!


    So, I'll start. I like a nice Macanudo evry once in a while but you have to smoke them slowly. My friend always wants to walk around while we smoke whilst I like to sit. It seems silly to me to really any form of exercise while smoking.

    As far as the more high end cigars go, I like Macanudos, and Romeo y Julietas.

    I also enjoy the cheaper candy cigars too. Havana Honeys are nice (especially the really small ones that are cigarette sized), and these incense flavored ones called Tantras.

    All of these tend to have a good smooth draw, but mainly when you punch a hole in the back.

    I'd have to say that the punching method is far superior to the chopping. Chopping with the guilliotine-esque choppers can sometimes damage, and ruin a great cigar.

    I've never eaten much more than a 7-Eleven 2 for 2 hotdog with a cigar, but I really think a great cut of steak with a cigar and a great glass of wine would make a truly splendid evening.

      Ouch, you have just reminded me of the delight of smoking a good cigar. Maybe I'll find me a good one the coming wekend despite the probems (it's easy to get a cigar here, the problem is to get a good one ).
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

            I had a Romeo y Julieta tubo the other day. However along with a bottle of champagne and a few rather silly mixed drinks, I ended up being very ill More to the point, it didn't have quite the breadth of flavour of the Monte Cristo's I've had, nor the smoothness of the St. Luis Obispa I had a while back. All in all not the finest smoke I've ever had.

              Romeo y Julieta rocks, and is my stogie of choice when I can get 'em/afford 'em.

              For everyday cigars, I like something small since I rarely have the time for a liesurely smoke. May favorites are Puros Indios Rothschild or, if I have a bit more time, Piramide #2. I'm also fond of Bahia Trinidad; theri Robusto, Belicoso, and Pancho are all excellent everyday cigars, though they no longer manufacture the box-cut that used to be my favorite (best draw ever).

                I like Hemingway Short Stories, but they are very hard to find.

In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
