guado: Wasn't really a demand.

Anyway, I write software for a living. Married, and we just had our first daughter in Jan.

I enjoy a good cigar from time to time, but not daily by any means. For a while I was really in an exploration phase, but I have mostly stopped exploring for the time being. I have a few humidors with maybe 1500 worth of cigars so I think I am very much a cigar amateur.

Some of my favs include
  • Padron 64 Annv Maduro A's and Torp
  • Padron 26 Maduro (most all)
  • Diamond Crown #7
  • Monty #2 - cuban (mostly for its strength)
  • Bolivar Belicosos - cuban
  • La Gloria Cubana #7
  • Oliva Master blend Torpedo
  • Trinidad Fundadore
  • Avo XO


These are some of the ones I find myself rebuying most often. I feel like I may be going for the obvious buys and missing out on sticks with similar characteristics that cost far less. However, since I don't smoke all that often I haven't been compelled enough to search them out. Look forward to getting some insight from experienced aficionados, and maybe find some better buys.
