  1. #1

    Default Need help with choice of cigar.

    I'm just getting into this cigar thing. I'm 22 and I'm having a little trouble finding the write handmade cigars. I'm looking for something that's has a sweet, chocolatey taste. Can anyone help me out with this. I don't want to go around wasting five bucks everyday trying to find the write one. I smoked a Don Diego yesterday and hated it. $5 bucks gone. Please help.

    Sancho Panza Double Maduro. They have become my every day smokes. Very reasonably priced and have that sweet, chocolaty taste you are looking for.

    I would also recommend the Carlos Torano Virtuoso, They are more of a medium to full bodied smoke, but have that sweet chocolaty taste as well.

    I had a 5 Vegas Series A the other day and I found it to have a sweet chocolaty taste.

    That is what I was wondering also, because I know that there would be a big difference, plus just starting to smoke I would stay away from the more full bodied for right now, may make you a little ill.

    No, I've smoked for a while. I'm a big pipe smoker, so it's not gonna kill me. And i've been smoking cigars for a while, just not the good stuff.

    buy some mild/medium cigars from nicaragua,D.R.,and honduras....try to decide which profile you enjoy the most...try to keep a log of the smokes you're trying....

    DO NOT TRY MACANUDO'S!!!

    this is sort of a trick question... and the answer is, you don't want a flavored cigar.
    Look at that... I plumb got myself 5 raisins and 7 termites.

    I thought the Graycliff Pearl Label Crystal Taco had sort of a chocolatey taste. they are kinda expensive though at $11 a stick.

    The CAO brazillia Gol's are not a bad cigar, can't go wrong there, also if you want a flavored cigar Drew Estates sells the JAVA flat pressed I have had one and I am not one for a flavored cigar at all so I didn't care much for it. I prefer the LFD Chisels or the VSG's

    Yeah, Black Rose District clothing does merch for facedown records. Dave Quiggle is the artist that runs black rose...very talented.

    I listen to all kinds of music, quite a bit of christian hard rock/metal/a little hardcore.


    Oh and to be on topic, go for the Sancho Panza Double Maduros...cheap and tasty.

    CAO makes some flavored cigars called Moontrance that come in a variety of flavors, but I can't remember if one of them is chocolate.
    There's only two kinds of cigars, the kind you like and the kind you don't.
