Uh, whoever said avoid SwisherSweets ... just listen to that guy.

Here's a simple rule: if you can find the cigar at your local gas station, you DO NOT want it.

Go to your local cigar shop. Ask that guy. He knows. Buy the good stuff. Buy a halfway decent humidor. Buy hand-rolled "premiums" only. There are plenty of good cigars at $5 a smoke. There are plenty of great cigars at $10 a piece. They are worth it.

Avoid all else. Trust me.
