PG Cigars
 

I was wondering what people's thoughts and opinions are on Paul Garmirian cigars are. Especially concerning the quality of construction.

Re: PG Cigars
 

I've had a few of the maduros and they are top notch sticks...great construction, great flavor...just a little too high priced for me.

Re: PG Cigars
 

PG's construction is impeccable, for the most part. Sure you may find some that have a problem but that happens with all cigars. They are really good cigars that are either overlooked or not available.

Paul Garmirian doesn't advertise at all. He thinks that a good cigar shouldn't need advertising and he may be on to something because his cigars have been around awhile in a very competitive market.

I really like the Reserva Exclusiva line, especially the lancero.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Never even heard of them.

Re: PG Cigars
 

My wife brought one of these home for me a while back and I have had my eye on it lately. Glad to hear a bit about it.

Re: PG Cigars
 

I had a couple puffs off a Bombone. It was fantastic.

Re: PG Cigars
 

He's been around like 20 years and is big name I would put up with Fuente, Davidoff, Dunhill, or Zino. Older brand that probably caters to the same group for many years. A worth cigar to try. He does not need to advertise for the niche he is in.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Yeah, he's been around for a while. My buddy use to carry his line back in the 90s but they just became too expensive and no one bought them.

Not sure which PG I smoked but, it was the lancero, and it was great.

BT, if you are looking for some, I know that Tobacco Republic carries them, or use to carry them. I'm sure you already knew that though.

:tpd:

I dunno, maybe it's me but when I've never heard of a brand and they are charging nearly $300 a box something is wrong.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Impeccably rolled sticks. I have had my share and never had one that had issues because of the roll.

As for what they're worth? I am smoked crap from $250 -> to $500 boxes of cigars, well-known cigars. Advertised the snot out of dog rockets. Just because everybody's heard of them doesn't make them good.

PGs are incredible smokes. If I could afford them, I'd buy more of them, in a heartbeat. Well worth the coin.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: PG Cigars
 

I think they are top notch cigars. The ones I have had have always burned great and the flavors where spot on. I just have a hard time finding them and the price is sometimes painful. That being said it is a cigar that lives up to the price IMO.

If you call the store in Northern Va. you will probably talk to his son.
A good cigar but not my thing.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Everyone I've had has been outstanding!

Huy mentioned the lancero!!!:tu

Re: PG Cigars
 

Hi Huy. I actually have several sticks sitting in my humi. The reason why I posted this was because the other day I had a Symphony 20 and it was terrific at the beginning then just absolutely took a turn for the worst in the last third. Luckily I have another one of these Symphony 20's so I am just going to sit on it for a while.

Also, Kevork Garmirian is a great guy and very approachable so people should feel free to email or call him in regards to trying something and he will help you select something that suits your taste.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Paul Garmirian has been in the cigar game for a long time. He has loads of aged tobacco that he puts into his cigars. That is why he can charge what he charges for his cigars. Plus he has some of the most respectable people in the game working on his blends and construction. Just because you have never heard of him and his cigars doesn't mean you should bypass his stuff cause that would be a huge mistake.

I wrote a review today about the PG Symphony 20, which was a super good cigar. Easily one of the best I've smoked in the last year.

Just a warning, these cigars are not for beginners. They are stout, and pack a punch.

Re: PG Cigars
 

PG's are in the same group as Oscar; not talked about at all by the current generation of cigar smokers.

Re: PG Cigars
 

I wandered into his store the other day after finding it by chance while working in the area. I had never heard of him or the brand. His stick did seem a little pricey. After hearing some thoughts on hear I may try to pick up a couple the next time up that way.

Re: PG Cigars
 

Abso-frickin-lutely.

His sticks can hold their own with the uber-premiums easily.

Re: PG Cigars
 

I assume they were in between Ashton and Davidoff prices?

It's got to be at least 15 years since I smoked a PG. You got me interested and will check my local B&M if he has them.

Re: PG Cigars
 

My point was, if I've never heard of them, by default I bypass them. See? They could be the greatest thing since creamed corn but if I've never heard of them, I'm living in ignorant bliss without them.
