    5-7 a week. Usually a Hoyo De Monterry Petite Robusto or the Double Corona, Partagas # 2 or 4, Montecristo #2 or the Edmundos.

    I'm not a heavy smoker by any means. My moto is "Less is more" in the sense that as I cannot afford to smoke cubans every day I tend to save my hard earned cash for a treat once every two to three weeks. This invariably mean a trip to Casa del Havano in Soho for either a Cohiba siglo iv or Montecristo (big gauge).

    Washed down with a mojito of course......... Damn it's only 9.52 AM and I'm salivating already!!! Not good!

    On a normal week I will smoke 2 cigars, generally smaller vitolas in the winter. At the moment that means a Fonseca KDT Cadete or a Perla / Minuto of some variety (SCdH Principe, RASCC), the Cuaba Divinos are also good for cold days.

    When it gets warmer the regular cigars get a little bigger, say a corona or robusto or similar, then the regulars are JlP, Ryj, Punch, Bolivar and whatever is in the humidor.

    I save things like Monte#2, Partagas SD4/SP2 and other big hitters for special occasions.


    As for favoured brands at the moment that would be:
    Montecristo (#2 / Edmundo only)
    Partagas
    Punch
    Ramon Allones
    San Cristobal
    Jose L Piedra
    Fonseca
    The last two are there because they are terrific value for money.
    I thought it was a tampon joke!

    Monte #2 is one of my all time favourite cigars! Damn good choice. Never tried a Partagas though. To be recommended?

    I really like Partagas and would reccomend them, just bear in mind that they do need a bit of age on them.

    I smoke about 5 -7 cigars a week , non-cuban . I smoke 1 cuban every month to month and a half . I've had the Monty #2 and Edmundo , Cohiba Siglo III , La Gloria Cubana Medaillie d' oro #2 and a Romeo Y Julieta petit corona . My favorites of these are the Monty #2 , Siglo III and the R Y J Petit corna . They are a little hard to come by though .

    I don't smoke so many - probably 2 or 3 a month if I'm lucky.

    I like the Partagas Series D No 1 - bags and bags of flavour, nice and strong.

    Also like the Monte #2 (of course), siglo IV (pretty good), siglo VI (superb), Cohiba Robustos are great, but the best of the best is the Sublime EL 2004. Ohhhhhh, I would smoke one every day if I could afford it.

    Got some RyJ Hermosa No 2 EL 2004 in the cooler and some Churchills, but haven't tried them yet.

    In the smaller vitolas, I got some San Cristobal El Principe in the coolerdor too, but yet to try them.

    Actually, now that I list them, there are looooads of Cuban brands I haven't even tried yet. Makes it an easy Christmas present for someone....

    What's 5 divided into 18 years?

    1-2 per week.

    Hard to say a specific favorite brand... definitely favorite vitolas with-in certain marcas.

    Brands I gravitate to most:

    Partagàs
    Cohiba
    Bolivar
    Romeo y Julieta
    "Le Hoyo" portion of the HdM line

    I do enjoy others but as far as multiple boxes, and a range of vitolas, those are the most prominent in my stash.

    Quintero Brevas are cheaper than smoking gas station cigars.

    I smoke about one or two a month.
    I like the Montes and Diplimaticos, and the occasional Cohiba.
    Diplimaticos #2 is deeeeelicous !
