*****THE OFFICIAL CIGAR THREAD*****

About the only cigars I have ever tied into, other than a few Cuban Cohiba's before a few years ago, were nasty stock. I started flying to Belize every year on vacation and while I was there, I started trying several different varieties and was pleasantly surprised. At this point I have two humidors and several different selections. I still don't smoke that many, but I break one out on Friday nights, or when the boys are over for a beer. Are any of you guys into cigars?

Hmm, that’s troubling. This is a brand new line, I’ll let you know after I smoke it.

CigarPage and CBid are your friend... You don't always have to pay brick and mortar prices.

But anyway, enjoy your conversation I guess. I'll go back to lurking on this board.
Stick around, Aggie!

That’s my dad. He finally quit cigarettes 30 years ago, and I used to offer him cigars after I got into them in 2000, but he said he was afraid he’d relapse.

Emaw, no offense intended.

I gave you props for the Oliva Master blends so you know a good smoke.

Stuff like Acid cigars are not my cup of tea. I know a lot of people smoke them.

I don't order them since they are so pricey. I buy singles at a high end cigar store in Paradise Valley.
I like the 1964 Series Natural #9
That's the exact cigar.

Amazing!

Yes, pricey. I can afford to have another sometime next year.

That’s very wise of you. I was off cigs for like 10 years and for some reason had a cigar. You know the saying, one thing leads to another.

I've only smoked the CAO V660 Flathead Gordo. Still have 2 left.

What king of flavor profile and strengths does the CAO line have?

Which do you recommend?

The Flathead is one of my favorite CAO lines. I love a good Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. The MX2, BX3, Brazilia Gol, and Cameroon are also good. I have a 10 pack of the Cameroon perfectos on the way from CigarPlace for a smaller winter smoke.

How funny you mention Cameroon. One of the big surprise cigars I like is the H Upmann Vintage Cameroon. You never hear it mentioned or talked about but I thought it was easily a Top 5 Upside surprise of all the cigars I smoked.

I will look into the Cameroons you mentioned.

Two cigar brands that many people love but I don't is Gurkha and Perdomo. I was underwhelmed by both, smoking 3-4 in each.

Another that people like but was a horrible smoke for me was the Red Dot Cohiba. Was rolled so tight, flavor was bitter and not a fan.

My Father makes GREAT cigars

La Flor Domenica has great full bodied cigars including the Double Digger Ligero that almost knocked me on my ass.

The Macanudo Inspirado Orange is my favorite by far of their brand.

The Upmann Vameroon is good. Don Carlos is probably the Cameroon all others are judged by (for good reason). For cheaper ones, I like the Nub, Olica Serie G, and Cohiba Red. Definitely not MSRP for the Cohiba... I think they price them around $20 and they're not worth that. You can find them for $3 or $4 per stick on CBid, though. Same with the Cohiba Black. That is another good Connecticut Broadleaf cigar.
