Ok, so let's suppose that an old friend of yours (cough me) might like to get back into the swing of things at some point. Let's say this friend hasn't had a cigar for a year, or any tobacco period for a couple of months.

What cigar would you recommend to said friend and why?
I'm just curious as to what you all would say. Yes, said friend has been out of the cigar loop for some while...
but that doesn't mean he's forgotten everything either.

I would say a Monte White. The only reason I say this is I smoked cigars off and on for a while...a social thing really. Just recently did it start to become a real hobby for me. The Monte White was the first stick I smoked in this phase of my smoking and I must say it hit the spot. Not to mention they are not too expensive. Nice bang for the buck and a nice smoke...just my :2

Hey... I am a fan of the Monte White as well. Another tasty on is the RyJ Habana Reserve. Can't go wrong with either one IMHO. :ss

I'll look into that. Although, I was never extremely impressed by any of the Tatuajes I had. They're solid smokes, but never made me jump up and down.

To be perfectly honest, this cigar is what keeps coming to my mind.

Padron 1926 mad.
Full bodied smooth and OOOOOOOOOOOOO SOOOOOOOO tasty.
You and your mouth will take the tasty train to delicious land.

02-28-2009, 07:47 PM

Mmm. perhaps a padron is another stick for me to think about.
I absolutely love their 1964 el principe's (I actually prefer the naturals over the maduros however)

Check out the new Oliva Connecticut Reserve. Great mild smoke, buttery and creamy profile with a little Nicaraguan kick.

Might give'em a try, if I remember right the Cabaiguan was one of the best cubans that Fredster ever had...:fu

I would if i had one... I might see about picking one up soon. It's not the best cigar smoking weather though, that's for sure. Nice to see you again too sir.

A chisel would put you back into that arena where you quit in the first place,,,lol

Same with this one,,as good as they are I would steer clear until you get back into the routine.

Remember what you used to smoke and then take it one step down from there and come back easy,,,then the Chisel and a good stiff drink with a soft chair.:ss

I'd go with the Cabaiguan as was recommended earlier. Great mild-medium smoke.

What did you like before? I would probably go to a Hemingway, any size, or the aforementioned RyJ Habana Reserve - that's a great budget smoke.

Well, I had an avo le 08 last friday. It was delicious. I quickly remembered why I don't smoke anymore though. Gosh, cigars are a luxury and are pricey for a college student!

Either way, it was a great cigar.

Oh gosh, I dunno how wise that is. I don't think I can afford being pushed down the slope again. I'm humbled by your generosity... Oh man. Your offer is one I'll have to think about. I don't want to turn down your generosity but don't want to risk being shoved down this slope again that I worked so hard to climb back up.

(Everyone here though would probably agree that once your pushed down the slope there's no use in trying to climb back up it though.)

Hello,I was thinking,based on your input on one of my recent thread's that you should send me your address so I could help you remember the slope, and how fun it can be.:fu

well it's a good thing my OLD addy is the one in the rolodex and not my new one. (no this isn't a joke so DON'T send anything there. I'd hate for sticks to go there and have them disappear)

Well, I smoked another cigar today. Bizarre right?
I pulled a rocky patel 92 vintage out of my humi that had been sitting there for a few years. It was alright. Nothing too special honestly.

But, a cigar is a cigar! And the fact that I smoked another one is a bit disconcerting... (well maybe not for you guys)

Here comes the slope. (If I stay away from CC's I should be fine)

Thankfully I only have a few in the humi. I'm staying away from them like the plague. If I smoke those, it'll be all over.

I did have an anejo not too long ago. Wasn't that bad, but wasn't that great.
I plan on sparking a stick up tonight...
MUST STAY AWAY FROM NOM NOMS (ccs)

You caught me.
I had a ryj short churchill a few nights ago. It was real good. I'm not really sure if there is much more to say. I think you all understand what's going on here...
