Good cigar brands? Good small cigars?

[ggiese]

Hello fellow smokers, my name is Colby i live in orlando fl im 24. I am somewhat new to the cigar world. Being that i live in Orlando is great because we have a few really nice cigar bars around here. I got to meet Rocky Patel at Corona the other day. The best and my most favorite cigar i ever smoked was a Davidoff Aniversario No.3 . I won it for selling the most cigars at my bar. My soon to be wife puts up with the cigars because she knows i like them. Last weekend i smoked a Rocky Patel Decade and it about killed me. Not sure if was from all the drinking the night before or what but it didnt sit well at all. Maybe it was to big of a cigar for a newb like myself. Happy to be a part of this forum .

There ya go, Colby. You're making a good start. Hang out at either Corona Cigar Company, particularly the one in Lake Mary, and there's a damn good chance you'll run into Avo Uvezian. If you can manage to get him away from his pack of shapely blond woman, ask him which cigar you should smoke...

I agree with ggiese, Davidoff is the way to go. Any one of their small smokes will make you a happy camper. With that in mind, the Winston Churchill brand is made by Davidoff. Their Spitfire is an awesome small smoke.

I wasn't a fan of Fuente's Cubanito.

I also recommended Acid cigars.

They seem to be a little too novelty to me. Well, at least the ones I have seen at my tobacconist. And one of the employees there said they were a bit of a roulette game on quality. Not that you never know if each still will smoke as good as the last, but on the quality of each line.

Davidoff, Artuo Fuente, Avo, My Father all of those, you know its one of theirs, no matter which line you're trying.

White Owls (especially the Grape and Peach), Backwoods Smokes, and A&C Grenadiers all smoke consistently.

Um, what?

Not all cigar companies own their own fields, so they have to buy it from whomever they can. As a result, one year their cigars can be really good, another year just okay, and another it can suck. It's innoconsistent. The brands I listed all own their own fields, allowing them to have a consistent product.

So, you're saying that every crop grown by these guys is "top-notch" and equal in quality?
