Good! Now I don't feel like I am the only weirdo....

We carry the Miami Suites, Rum and Honey. Along with Jewels Black and Gold's. We carry quite a bit of the non-premo stuff.

Re: The Cigar Thread

Smoked a Padron 2000 the other day, this is Padron's "affordable line". At about 3.75 for a corona sized cigar, not too bad. I smoked the Maduro, and it was very nice.

-Fuente Opus X. Without a doubt the finest cigar I've ever had. Completely smooth, slightly acidic in flavor, very mellow draw and even burn. They only make these twice a year. A robusto generally runs 34 bucks a pop and most stores limit you to two cigars per purchase because of the extremely limited quantity.

-Cohiba Reserva (Triangulo). Very nice natural cigar. Strong nutty flavors and a very full draw. They are a rather large cigar, so if you dont like a long burn, I'd recommend trying the Reserva in the corona.

-Fuente Hemingway Line. Probably one of the best full lines of cigars I've ever had. The "Short Story" is perfect for if you want a nice quick cigar that will still leave you satisfied.

-Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina. This is my favorite everyday cigar. I keep a box of cameroon, maduro and candelas on hand as much as I possibly can. Not too long, but not too short, provides adequate time to relax and carry on a conversation or enjoy a few cocktails. As anyone who smokes cigars know, the flavor is going to vary with the style, so I cant really describe the cigar due to its varieties. But it's definitely something worth trying.

Those are my top 4. I've got about a hundred kinds that I like (i'll have to snap a photo of my humidor later so you guys can see the depth of my ecclectic taste), but thats kinda what happens when you get free cigars for a few years and are encouraged to try as many as you can so you can help customers.

Wow Ferris, you and I should get together to smoke. I have a large humidor packed with these cigars (plus some others )

Re: The Cigar Thread

Smoked a Drew Estate La Vieja Habana Belicoso in a African Cameroon wrapper. Very good smoke for the price.

Come tor Dirtboy's fiesta when he throws it! We'll enjoy some fine cigars then.
I do have to say that I have experienced the ultimate in relaxing pleasure in life though after my recent trip to colorado:
Sitting on a rock at the base of a mountain you just cut fresh ski tracks on, drinking a homebrew beer and smoking an Opus X with a buddy while you wait for the helicopter to come pick you up to do it again.
