Cigar smoking...

[mithril]

i try to only smoke on special occations (sp?). like tonight was my 21st birthday party and i enjoyed a smoke with one of my friends right now i don't plan to have one everyday or even every week because of money issues. but when i do have one, i try to enjoy it and savor the taste of it.

unless it' s a day off then it could be two or three.

Romeo y Julietas are a great cigar. The "darker" ones you see are what is called a maduro wrapped cigar. The wrapper leaf is fermented. It changes the leaf's flavor, increases sweetness and darkens the color. Personally, I don't care too much for maduro although I have had a few that were nice. Ashton and Butera make a nice maduro. Although not all darker cigars are maduro. But as Yeager said, cigars are very subjective. People like what THEY like.

Part of the enjoyment of cigar smoking is trying new things, Explore. Have fun. You will develop your own palette and find your own personal favorites.

Welcome aboard!

Amen!, I like the RyJ Cedros Deluxe #2, a bit mild but still enjoyable. I wasn't always a fan of that one, but it's kind of grown on me the last couple of times that I've had it.

Too mild?

Try the Anniversario Toro or No.2 Pyramid, or the robusto for that matter. I belive it's the strongest blend RyJ puts out. They have a black, white and gold label. Another fav of mine.

I think they introduced the blend with that James Bond 007 Churchill and humidor. Had the "007" secondary band. I like James Bond but the cigar band thing was hokey. They don't put the 007 band on anymore (thank God!). An excellent blend from RyJ.

I understand with school that money is a bit of an issue, having been there myself at one time. Have you tried looking into cigar "seconds"? I mean, you can substitute one keg for about two bundles of "seconds" or "rejects" cigars form various cigar makers.
