Cigar advise

[ggiese]

Romeo y Julieta's are ok but you should try something with some more flavor! Try Padron, Undercrown, Espinosa Habano, Pinar Del Rio, Ortega Series D, or My Father. I don't know your budget, but all those cigars can be found for $8 and under.

As far as a drink, I LOVE bourbon with cigars, well I just plain love bourbon actually (more than scotch but that's my opinion). Stouts are good with cigars, and mojitos are great! Sometimes it's good to switch it up and drink something juicy, like a piña colada with a cigar, it refreshes the palate and contrasts with a cigar nicely. Oh and don't forget about wine, especially port. See if they have Knob Creek single barrel bourbon in your area, it's a terrific bourbon for only about $40, pound for pound one of the best out there!

Sumo - Chris is in Europe. You're sending him on a wild goose chase. No chance in heaven, hell or otherwise he's going to find "Padron", "Undercrown", "Espinosa Habano", "Pinar Del Rio", "Ortega Series D", or "My Father" at his local shop...

Chris - quite a difference between R y J and Guantanemera - from one end of the spectrum to the other as far as pricing and quality (Guantanemera being about as cheap as it gets). If you're smoking Guantanemera, you might also want to check out Quintero. They're a bit more "bold" than the Guantanemera, but a very good "cheap" cigar. Fonseca, Juan Piedra, La Flor de Cano, La Gloria Cubana, Quai D' Orsay are other lines you might want to check out - more on the lighter side like R y J.

I was thinking the same thing too George.

Chrisb, try Saint Luis Rey Serie A. They're stronger than a RyJ but they won't overpower you.

YEah couldn't find any of those. I bought bolivar and a churchill R Y J and having the Bolivar atm and its bloody good with this cup of coffee. I don't have alot of money so buying cheap ones for a while :(

On the cheap end - you really cannot go wrong with Quinteros. I'm especially fond of the Brevas as nice, short smoke. They're machine made, but damn they use some very nice tobacco.

Bolivar is very nice, but would not have thought you would have liked them - they're a bit more bold. Very good choice, though. If you like those, give Ramon Allones Specially Selected or Vegas Robaina Famosos (one of my favorites) a try. Both have similar flavor profiles like the Bolivar.

Try Fonseca. They're fairly mild, but are reasonably cheap for a hand made cigar.

I like Bolivar's too.....good choice.

Another Cuban I enjoy is the Por Larranaga Montecarlos HF

It's a slimmer diameter cigar and rather inexpensive. They're a decent smoke for the price point.
