Cigar Smoke Thread

Couldn’t find this Thread topic, even with the search function.

I know there must be a few of you that enjoy lighting up a stick or two. Maybe collect? So let’s see what you’re current picks are and/or what you’re smoking on…

I like something light, draws well, and where I don't feel like I licked an ashtray the following morning. So I haven't really like Maduro and haven't gone back to them.

I stick with Conneticut wrappers, I like Cubans, but as of recently have been mostly buying sticks in the US, ergo, no Cubans. Of late, I've liked:

Leaf by Oscar (conneticut)
Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champagne
Some Rocky Patels of various types.

Great thread idea. I've got dozens of sticks, but it has been a while since I've lit one up. Maybe this weekend.

Also curious on your storage approach. What kind of humidors and how to properly maintain.

Lately I've been enjoying Ghurkas. I grabbed some of the 15 & 21 year olds a while back. Great smoke, sadly i've run out and now the hunt is on for some more.

I’m actually fortunate to work in the industry.

ATF will see you now....

I forgot about Monte's - I like those as well. Though again, prefer the cuban No. 2's.

What sort of AVO ones do you like - haven't heard of them (because I'm ignorant in cigars in general is why)...wondering if maybe I need to source some of those next summer.

Deadwood Leather Rose and Girl with No Name
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos and Short Story

These have been my go-to so far. I like just about the entire Deadwood series.

Can't really go wrong with a Short Story

Since I'm low scale - I just keep a box on my bar. Inside the box, I keep 2 gel sticks with propylene glycol (fill them maybe once a month). Seems to be able to go a bit longer than a water pack alone.

And before anyone mentions the bottle on the right, I keep my humidor in Mexico as well.
