Favorite cigar

[melensdad]

My favorite cigar, Monte Cristo Cuban cigar...

How about the Cuban made Bolivar cigars? I think those are amazing.

Cohiba.

Tried that I can't do anything at all harsh. Glad to see others like one at least once in a while.


Anyone know where I can get a few Gurkha Grand Reserve?

it would help if i knew where you were, if in nwi melensdad has 3 different shops

If I had any more I'd share one with you. Sadly I'm all out. I just came back from a trip to France, they sell Bolivar's there, but the one cigar lounge that I found was CLOSED FOR THE DAY the day that I attempted to go there!

But I don't have the Grand Reserve in stock. We have several different Gurhka's but not that one. The 'hot' one seems to be the Ancient Warrior at the 1101 shop.

i think melensdad has some cohibas with a yellow label. not sure but they may be the same, talk to him

Nope. Ours our white label/red dot.

Sadly its not legal to sell the yellow label in the US. Real Cubans are illegal to possess, illegal to smoke, very illegal to sell. Which is not to say that there is not a blackmarket for them, in fact there are websites where people actively trade real Cuban cigars that have been smuggled into the US.

I currently have NONE.

I'd like to stop by your shop sometimes, Melensdad. I do like La Gloria Cubana Series R, and I have found myself in possession of Cohiba Robusto cigars on occasion. My "go to" cigar for quite awhile was the "Puros Indios". I had a Hoyo de Nicaragua at The Big Smoke in LV that wiped me out. That's too much for me, generally.

Lately, I've had a crush on Liga Privada.

do you think there is any cigar that would be pretty close to a yellow label cohiba?

 

[HDSilvrStreak]

Favorite by far is a Cuban Monte Cristo #2. Awesome smoke.

For every day use, I always have a few C.A.O. Brazilians, La Gloria Cubano, Cubao, or Rocky Patel Heritage. I don't smoke as much as I used to, but with summer coming soon, the average will increase as I start to spend evenings out on the patio.

Honestly, and I really mean this, I believe that the best of the Dominican cigars are the equals of the best of the Cubans. Take a look at some of the cigar rankings in Cigar Afficinado magazine, there are plenty of high grade Dominicans that are ranked AT and even ABOVE the quality/taste of Cuban cigars.

I always have a few C.A.O. Brazilians

The C.A.O. Brazilian AMAZON is a fantastic cigar.

thanks! im not a cigar aficionado, and im not even gonna pretend to know what Im about to talk about ..... but, the thing I liked about the yellow label cohiba is that it was mellow. not overpowering like even other cubans I have had. the other cuban cigars I smoked came in a silver metal tube. i dont know the name. one was short and one was longer. they were strong and i didnt like them

. . . the thing I liked about the yellow label cohiba is that it was mellow. not overpowering like even other cubans I have had. . .

Depending on your budget (high to low) try these cigars, most of each family are on the mild end of the spectrum:
Ashton ($10 to $15+)
Macanudo ($6.50 to $10+)
Nat Sherman ($4.50 to $8)
