I usually do not smoke cigarrs, but when I do it's either Cohibas or Davidoffs. Something I do smoke more often is cigarillos, the long panatella by Davidoff is excellent!

My humidor is getting full.

Free aftrernoon in the cafe.

My humidor is running low... I think it's time to buy another box.

My old standby is Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Epicure. At $65 for a box of 20, it cannot be beat. Another possibility is Alec Bradley MAXX. It's about $90 for 20.

Any recommendations? Something under $100, has a lot of complexity, and is a medium to full bodied smoke.

In fact the only thing I don't like about it is the lingering taste the next day, so if anyone has any advice on that I'd love to hear it (brushing my teeth doesn't get it all out). And I tend to avoid them when I'll be interacting with women, even I don't like the smell on someone else if I haven't been smoking.

I smoke a lot of Rocky Patels but I'm under the impression it's not a favored label among serious afficianados.
you gotta scrape your tongue until it hurts

that should solve the morning wtf did i eat that cigar? aftertaste.

Mm, I'll be sure to swing by my local TinderBox and give both a try. Thanks!

Mmm.. Padron 3000 Natural

 

[padronlover]

aficionado, nice dupont lighter! i was so close to buying one so many times and never pulled the trigger. probably a good thing considering how many lighters/cutters i've lost.

i don't know what it is about the padron 3000 natural but it just has more flavor and depth than the maduro, which is weird since i generally like maduro cigars more.

the weather is getting nicer and i find myself smoking a cigar almost every night. here i come mouth cancer

I am more than satisfied with my Xtend. High quality lighter with nice outlook. I can sincery recommend it.

I totally agree with you about the flavor of 3000 Natural. It is more complex and smoother than in the Maduro. Unfortunately Padron 3000 Natural costs 14,90€/cigar here in Finland (over USD23), so I need to buy them from cheaper countries.

Well the most important thing is I have 20 Padron 3000 Natural in my humidor.

ouch that hurts...i don't even wanna ask you how much the anniversaries cost

you can't beat 5 packs of padron 3000 for 17 bucks from that link i posted

 

[bdeuce22]

I agree with the above that the padron 3000 natural is one of the best bang for your buck sticks out there

 

[Aficionado]

Yeah. 35 euros for the Padron 1964 Anniversary Piramide (~USD55)

It´s pity there´s not many US cigar store sending to Finland.

Another thing is the customs office. Ordering cigars from USA is quite expensive and at the moment I have no friends to send cigars as a "gift". Well luckily I travel pretty much around the world where I can buy cheaper cigars.
