Favorite gas station cigar

[golfermd]

Assuming the gas station's humidor is functional, Quintero's .

I am just starting to get back into cigars. I love them, but a divorce and other life events conspired against my enjoyment with them. I have looked at some of the Quintero's and seem to suit my taste (medium to full body). Any others you can recommend?

Thanks...

Er, I was being half-assed in my reply - I'm talking about the Quintero's made in Cuba - they're widely available in gas stations around here (Eastern Ontario) that have humidors - Cubans are highly unlikely to be available in a gas station in Maryland .

Recommendations for you (really):
- Padron "regular" series, e.g., 3000, 4000, 6000, Churchill, Executive, etc. The Maduro is medium, the natural is medium-full.
- Cubao - made by Pepin Garcia for EO
- Gran Habano - Corojo #5, 3 Siglos

That's not really what this place is about. Nobody here smokes those cigars even when they are doing yardwork or fishing. Simply put, they aren't cigars in the eyes of the members here. Look around the board a bit, and try a few of the more interesting looking cigars. Better yet, get in on the Newbie Sampler thread in the Exchange forum of the board. You will spend a bit more per cigar, but it's SO WORTH IT!

I'll admit, way back in the day I would always bring a pouch of Backwoods with me when I went overnight catfishing... Since I've started collecting cigars, I find I have plenty of options other than stopping at the gas station for cigars.

I have never, EVER, smoked ANY flavored gas station "cigar". I did take a few puffs from a Black & Mild once, but they're more of a "pipe tobacco" thing.

I admit on occasion I'll pick up a black n mild, if I have nothing else available. They don't taste much like anything, but at least they smell good.

Damndest thing about those. They smell a lot better than they taste. Still, I get a craving every now and then when I don't feel like bothering with my pipe.

Some people just don't get it.

AGAIN GRASSHOPPER!

Remember, if it doesn't need a humidor, it's not a real cigar.

Occasionally, you will find real cigars in a convenience or drug store. These are usually Cuesta-rey cabinet, Helix, Macanudo, cuban sandwich, etc. In these cases, the Cuesta-Rey cigars are actually a decent camaroon wrapped smoke. Some rare stores actually have mini humidors with overpriced RYJ's and Monte's.

Thanks for your recommendations, Craig. I truly appreciate it...

phillies hold a bit of sentimental value to me, as they were my regular smoke after the late shift at work when I was a teenager (and consequently didn't know any better...)

[logan37]

Backwoods makes a really nice banana flavored cigar. Just make sure you ask for it properly. Flip your wrist and say "banana thigar, pleath!" with a lisp.

[basil]

What bullshit. smokin-stogie, can you get any more fucking dense. These are made and marketed to be hulled out and made into blunts.

Which brings me to some pretty fucked up weirdness. Where I live, we have a line of convenience stores that tries to create for itself a profile of community involvement, support, etc. But, these assholes also sell a huge line of flavored cigars, rolling papers, etc., AND all the paraphernalia for smoking crack - fucking torch lighters (I can promise you these aren't put out for people who smoke real cigars), glass pipes, and even chore boys (these are kept behind the goddamn counter with the rolling papers and not out with dish detergent for christsake).

Rant over.
