Hello! I'm Keith and I am new to this forum. In browsing around I have already had many of my questions answered. I have just recently returned to the world of cigars and I am loving it! I look forward to being a part of this community! Have A Magical Day!

Hey, welcome from western Oregon. What are you smoking these days?

Thanks! Well I have been on a Alec Bradley kick lately. I just had the MAXX last night and enjoyed it very much! I may have the Prensado tonight. I'm also a fan of Drew Estate and Rocky Patel. I live near Cigars International so as an introduction back into the hobby I picked up their CI Legends Series taster pack that has 10 cigars specifically made for them by 6 different manufacturers. Most were very well done. I have been hearing alot of rave about Padron so that may be my next venture. I am also on the hunt for good small cigars / cigarillos to have while on a break at work or out with friends when spending and hour having a smoke just is not feaible.

For going out, I strongly recommend Partagas Black Label Pronto (4 3/16 x 36). They come in tins of six so are easy to carry some for yourself and friends. Every non-regular cigar smoker I've given one to has liked it.

They might be too big for a work break. I can easily get 45 minutes on them, but don't feel too bad If I have to put one down early.

Hi and welcome from Alberta, Canada

If you're looking for some decent smaller cigars, have a loot at the Mehari line (google that name).

Thanks for the advice! I will be looking into those brands. I picked up a tin of Rocky Patel 1992 Juniors yesterday. They are ok and they put off LOTS of smoke. I am finding the more I smoke RP they can be really hit or miss. I liked the Egde I had a few weeks ago and I have a 1961 in the humidor. I'm also pretty sure I have the 1990 at some point as well and it was ok.
