GTR2 NOW

[HAULN-SS]

Heh, well, better safe than sorry right?


This is my first foray into the world of cleared work. And just for the record, the most happenin' thing I've ever smoked was a Romeo Y Juliet Reserva Real

What a delicious cigar. I dont smoke anything but the occaisional cigar.

[Kaan]

ummm as someone that smokes cigars often... thats not the best cigar not even a "good" cigar IMO. i might use it to roll something up in it... but i wouldnt smoke it for flavor

[HAULN-SS]

Pfft...I like milder cigars. I dont need to feel hoarse the next morning.

[HAULN-SS]

Oh yeah, i also dont need to pay more than like 10$ for a cigar

[Kaan]

at one point in my life i had over 220 cigars in my humidor.... now i have two humidors... and i'm prepping to start them again. my boss is a COL in the US ARMY.... we hang out and smoke a cigar almost every day... from his personal collection of over 15,000 cigars.

i agree that you dont need to pay $10 for a cigar... but also dont need to smoke a cigar because they market it well... or it has a nice metal case...

the facts on the cigar you think is good.... they dont burn evenly, which shows a poor blend and bind. if they cant do those two things right, what else do you think might be wrong with the cigar? stop paying $4 for a POS cigar!

[HAULN-SS]

Well make me a recommendation, my good sir. I don't like to experiment so much when it costs so much. And just for the record, I havent had a problem with the burn.

Also - I got some handrolled cigars that were pretty small ring..i'd guess around a 25 - 30? , and they had the best burn I've ever seen - you could almost ash the entire thing at once.

[Kaan]

well do you like churchhills, robustos, what length and gauge? I have all my rings scanned and put in a file with a write up of my opinion. I'm sure i can find you something... and cheap.

[HAULN-SS]

Probably robusto - 6 - 7", 40 - 45 ring or so

[WRXtranceformed]

Yuck, cigars are only good for the paper they're wrapped in, so you can use it to wrap other stuff up... imo =P

[Kaan]

Macanudo Robust:
Mac Rob Baron De Roth Nat
Mac Duke Of Devon Nat
Mac Baron Rothschild Nat

Montecristo:
Montecristo No.1
Montecristo No.3

Ashton: (if you ever have a boss that likes cigars, spring for these... these are your $10 smokes)
Ashton Maduro #50
Ashton Maduro #20

Arturo Fuente:
Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Mad (Best smoke for the buck... $5 each)\

Padron: (these are stronger, but very smooth still... good with a steak and dark beer)
Padron 3000
Padron Executive

I'm sure i could find more... these are just out of my personal log. your cigar type, size, and gauge arent "common." All these are either in your range or very close. They price from $4-10.

Monticristo Hubana = must find and smoke on any trip to mexico! Its a good, mild, smooth as hell CUBAN

[HAULN-SS]

Cool. I've had a few cubans before, my dad brings them over from germany, but it's hard to keep track what I've had, because he always buys a box of cubans, and a box of whatever's cheapest and swaps the rings on them to look less suspicious coming through customs.

[ScottyB]

nice Kaan, didn't know you hit up a stogie every now and then. i built my humidor with my grandfather and keep it stocked with 5 or 6 cigars at any one point. i was actually thinking of smoking yesterday it was so nice here.

i'm a big padron fan. i've heard the 1926 is very good and have been wanting to try one for quite a while. i'm a cheapskate though, so i haven't been able to justify dropping the money on one just yet.

[white_2kgt]

you guys are all asshole meanies, I don't like you, you make my *** hurt, you took my GTR2 thread and turned it into a cigar thread *wah* *wah* I hate you all, I'm never coming back here again.

[Kaan]

ahh, you're the greatest Kaan, now maybe we can all strip down, sit around the camp fire and sing kumbaya, maybe smoke some hemp.

[Feersty]

I went to J&R's in Selma, North Carolina this weekend on my way down to Savannah for St. Patrick's Day. One of the largest humidors in the U.S. A good variety of cigars there, and smelled amazing.

Anyone up for some GTR tonight?
