Me too. A bunch of friends are getting into cigars recently. I used to have one here and there when I was just out of college and working as a consultant. Our clients would take us out to nice restaurants and offer cigars. I was just 22 and didn't know shat about cigars, well I still don't. All I remember is that there were different drinks for certain cigars. Port wine, scotch, etc.
Lately we've been buying a lot of different cigars from Arturo Fuente. My buddy's favorite is the King Bee and I like the Hemingways. I also like the Macanudo Maduro Classic Vintage (or something like that). From another gun forum, I've heard that Padron and CAO are pretty good. We bought a sampler recently that had those brands, but not sure which particular ones we had. None of them really impressed me enough to buy more though.
I recommend going to check out Tobacco's of Hawaii on Atkinson. The guys there are pretty cool and they have a decent selection and decent prices. But like guns, it's an expensive hobby. I drink whiskey on occasion as well, amongst other types of alcohol.
Are you going to the LIFE Fun Shoot next Sunday? You volunteered at the SSF, right? If you go, try talking to Marshall about cigars. I haven't yet, but I've seen him smoking a cigar here and there.

Liga Privada T-52 is all the rage but expensive. Very dark and oily and the smoke is kinda blue. May not be for a beginner as it's on the stronger side but incredibly smooth. I'm halfway through one right now and will finish after dinner. They are always way better after food.
-
Awesome!
If you're not opposed to ordering online then try and visit sites like jr cigar, cigar international, famous cigar and purchase some samples. Try and get something in each strength and try different wrappers to find what you like.
Arturo Fuente is my favorite brand, consistent and not too pricey like other brands. Plus they have lots of lines but it's hard to keep up.
Tobaccos of Hawaii on Atkinson is a great shop along with cigar cigar on south king.

My buddy has been ordering for a bunch of us and we split. He's been ordering from jr cigar and Neptune Cigar. A few of us just ordered humidors from Neptune Cigar. I bought one for me and one for my father. He was just storing them in ziploc bags.

Yes I'll be at the fun shoot next Sunday. I'll try talking to Marshall. I know what I like the problem is I don't remember what I had previously. I think I just need to dive in to this even if it means only having one once a week. My wife and I don't make much here in Hawaii and she has been laid off for 2 or 3 months. She is starting a new job today. So maybe I'll be able to afford a good cigar occasionally. My problem is I like buying and shooting guns more than just about anything. Guess I have an addiction?

Been smoking the old stogies for over 20 years. If you are just getting into the "sport", I recommend that you try as many different cigars as you can and keep the label for future reference because its awfully hard to remember the names of the ones you like. Forget what people say about what you should smoke. Everyone's palette is different. I settled on Punch Rothschilds because they are mid-full cigars with a length and ring gauge of 4.5X50 so they are just right for a 45 minute smoke.
Right now, I have more Scotch than guns but I think that will change very soon. My stash includes, The Glenlivit, Ardbeg (Uigeadail & Supernova), Caol Ila, Oban (14 yr and 1993), Scapa, Glenmorangie, Balwinie, Lagavulin (16yr and 1991 Double Matured) and Edradour. Just finished a bottle of a Japan version named Yoko..something. If you are starting off, you don't need something exotic. The Glenlivit is readily available at your local supermarket and, believe it or not, is ranked high among Scotchdrinkers and is reasonably priced.

I do enjoy a fine cigar also....have a substantial collection in a humidor made from an old aquarium. Also have a generous stash of single malt, fine brandy and cognac, and good ole Jack Daniels to go with those great cigars. We used to attend the events hosted by R. Field back in the 90's. Those were good times at fine dining venues. I used to enjoy having a fine cigar at the pistol or rifle range while shooting or after shooting. Then the smoking ban kicked in and killed it all....ggrrrr :(
-
Been enjoying cigars for about 10 years. I like mild cigars, champagne style, sun wraps...I do enjoy having a presidente or Solomon style ever so often. I keep on hand about 25 sticks in a humidor.

My brother and friend got me somewhat into cigars. Last night we were chillin at my friend's house in Ewa smoking Arturo Fuentes with some Maker's Mark. It was a good time.

I only smoke maybe one a week and that's only if we're golfing or having a BBQ or something social like that.
Yes, you have an addition that most of us here have. My problem is that buying guns is just one of my expensive hobbies.

There are many guys who smoke at the range. They are usually well behind the line when they do so. I don't smoke at the range and don't know the rules, but I don't see a problem with it as long as they aren't smoking right next to me.

I should bring a few to the fun shoot this Sunday for you and the Inspector to try. Will probably have to skip the whiskey though. :wacko:

Anyone interested in setting up a cigar trade program? I'd love to smoke cigars and talk guns at range one-day.

Sounds like you guys are off to a great start. Make sure you guys season your humidors before placing cigars in them :thumbsup: I tried to buy a humi for my dad, he told me not to waste my money and asked me for one of my cigars lol, he makes it hard for me to give him a simple gift sometimes :(

Remember that a fancy label, a premium price tag or high end review shouldn't mean anything to anyone. A $1 cigar could taste just as good and be as pleasing to one person as a $20 cigar is to another. Try everything, find and smoke what you like and don't waste any time smoking anything you don't. Life is too short to be smoking dog rockets :rofl: :shaka:
I'd be down for a cigar trade! Except I no longer have much to trade anymore. I'm left with my few that I had planned to smoke off in hopes of quitting cigars. Buuuuut I don't think I'll be quitting anytime soon haha. I hope to be able to smoke with a few or all of you some day, I'd love to hear some real gun talk!
-
Yep your right cigars that had a 90+ rating I have not always enjoyed. They may not have flavors that I enjoy. Sad to say I used to enjoy vanilla Cigarillo that I used to get from 7-11. Even Cubans cigars while very potent and clean tasting all have not been good. But nothing beats a nice smoke outside when its nice a cool out.
-
Yea sometimes I still get suckered into trying and buying expensive cigars because of the rating but half the time they disappoint. It sucks for now because I have to choose between buying more ammo or restocking my humi lol.
Btw, anyone want to buy a 250ct treasure dome humi? I need down size a bit.
-
I collect cigars but don't smoke them frequently, I usually smoke out of pipes. I have quite a few meerschaum carved pipes that are new if anyone is interested. Check out smspipes.com to check the carve designs, if there's any you like I probably have it, Lmk if your interested. Has anyone here tried the man o war cigars or gurkha black dragons?
-
Yes I have had both, the man o and the dragon. Got them from cigars international if recall for cheap in the 5 pack. The man o is milder than the ghurka. I bought a buncgvif ghurkas thinking the price us expensive must be good...they are to strong for me I get headaches. Im waiting for all the holiday specials to stock up.

+1 I've had $4.00 cigars that I enjoyed far more than $40.00 ones. Add some jack daniels to your last sentence and it sums it all up for me :shaka:

$40 cigars? Dayum. Most of the ones my friends and I are in the $5-10 range with the occasional one up to maybe $15 max and that's retail shops. If we buy online, we usually save quite a bit. But like alcoholic beverages, sometimes you just have to try for yourself.

Actually I can't take credit for buying that $40 one. It was a gift, I usually stick to the $10-$25 range cause I don't buy them that often.

The only thing I know about cigars nowadays is that cigar stores are good places to buy those cheap little hygrometers. I keep one near my guns.
I used to enjoy a good cigar + some Drambuie after a good restaurant meal, but that's it.
-
This thread was started 9 years ago.
But the topic is timeless.
My grandfather would sit on the front porch of the Kula house and smoke his paka...60 years ago.
I remember enjoying a cigar after the pistol shoots at Schofield about 40 years ago.
I've had some really great cigars recently....and some real crappy ones too.
Sunday afternoons at the range was a tradition until the virus.

I gave up cigars for the most part last fall. I have limited things to a box around New Years. But yeah, cigars are relaxing and bonding activity.

I like to get there early. Set up my bench. Eat my egg mcmuffin or spam musubi. Enjoy a cigar with some coffee. Then I know I'm going to shoot good that day. :shaka:

Hey look its a throwback thread! I had to give up the stogies because it was affecting my surfing performance especially in bigger waves. Guys like Nathan Fletcher can handle cigs but for mere mortals like myself even the second hand stuff gets me winded easier. I still have the memories of some amazing cigars and it looks like that will have to do.

I worked late last night, so I went home and hooked up my doggy and went to the park around midnight.
Weather was nice and cool, but not windy. The dog was happy to be out and about.
The cigar du jour was a cheap dominican called "Respect". It was a churchill size stick.
The wrapper tasted young and green, aroma was great and the taste was mild and pleasant.
I notice a lot of no-name cigars are rolled with immature leaves nowadays. I suspect if this was allowed to age a few years, it would be really good.
Even some pricey cuban cigars are being sold too young. I recently came upon a box of cuban hoyo de monterrey. They are beautiful but tasted too young. Those will be wonderful in a few years.
For the novice, try the drew estate cigarillos, if you can find them.
A consistent winner is La Gloria Cubana. Try the series R.

i recently got a 5 pack of El Rey del Mundo with Maduro wrapper
5 pack was less than 20 bucks and taste was well worth the money

Bonshaker Boneyard Warhammer. strong smoke, taste was ok. for a strong smoke I like the taste of the Partagas Black better. but sometimes good to smoke something different just for variety

I've given up cigars for the most part. Will still have one (or two) on New Years eve, but have stopped otherwise. But I have had that Makers 46 and it's pretty good. ;D

I'm enjoying a midnight snack of peanuts and beer with a La Cuna bin3.
Pretty good for a small batch cigar.
-
My top 2 brands are Henry Clay and Punch
Henry Clay was my 1st cigar that I bought a whole box. its a great burning, great tasting cigar. not too strong
Punch are well constructed. can't go wrong with a Punch. I usually go with the regular Punch or Rothchild.
these 3 cigars are nothing fancy, just real consistent, old school cigars
next on my list are Partagas, Hoyo de Monterey, Montecristo, H. Upman. but I'm willing to try anything
-
Surely you can't go wrong with any of the older established brand names.
But they are overpriced nowadays.
I got that La Cuna as a part of a mystery bundle. Some were junk but most were pretty good.
The last Punch cigar I had was great but that sucker knocked me on my ass.
An old brand that I admire is La Gloria Cubana. They are generally rated 90+.
I just got some La Perla that were pretty good.
The best cigar I've had recently was a Cuban Partagas. It was about as perfect as perfect gets.
The most disappointing cigar I've had recently was a Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey. It was beautiful but tasted green.
That box is going into deep storage for a few years.
A nice quickie smoke are Drew Estate cigarillos. My fav is the Acid Red, but they are hard to find nowadays.
Apparently other people discovered them too so they are rare now.
-
lately I've been getting more expensive cigars. not super expensive but more than what i usually get
my reasoning is, get more expensive better cigars. that way I smoke less, instead of cheaper and more cigars and i smoke more
same way with Bourbon lately. more quality, less quantity
-
I usually order from JR Cigars. I'll look at what they have on sale first. sometimes I can't make up my mind and get one of their sampler packages and get a bunch of different cigars, maybe something i never smoked before

The only cigar experience I really have is smoking 1 in a gay club in Vegas. My gf at the time had a gay friend who we went to Vegas with. He's super cool and I felt bad that we only went to straight clubs. So I told him I'd be down to go to a gay club and be wingman.
We went and he dissapeared very quickly. But while I was hanging on the side, dudes approached me. So I lit up a cigar and they avoided me the rest of the time we were there.
On a side note, I ordered a blueberry Stolli (vodka) chilled at the bar. The bartender said "honey, do you want me to jazz this up for you". I said OK and the drink was purple. I got super hammered off of this 1 drink. This was during the cigar smoking.
I don't recall the brand, but the cigar was purchased ad Davidoff in NYNY.

my favorite cigar is the Henry Clay Brevas
42 ring gauge, so it's not big. medium bodied. good daily smoke. good old school taste
I always have to have a few of these in my stash. can't go wrong with a Henry Clay.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORdIPh2rNtU
Henry Clay was served in Kentucky as a Senator and in the House of Representatives. known as the Great Compromiser. also helped found the National Republican Party
-
Hmmmm...pricey cigars eh?
About the same price as a box of 9mm ammo.
....
I was enjoying a Cuban Partagas with an old shooting buddy on Saturday night.
My daughter dropped by the house and was disgusted by the smoke so I put it down.
After she went home I re-lit it but it just wasn't the same. :(
......
Henry Clay is always a good smoke :thumbsup:
-
i often put out a cigar and smoke the rest later, most times i dont have time to smoke it all at once. when i re-light it, it takes a little while to get through the burnt taste but gets better after that
my favorite part of the cigar is the last 1/3 of it. thats when the oils get strong, taste gets fuller. when it starts getting softer when i roll it in my fingers, that's when i know it'll start getting good. :shaka:

i often put out a cigar and smoke the rest later, most times i dont have time to smoke it all at once. when i re-light it, it takes a little while to get through the burnt taste but gets better after that

I notice that the bands on cigars keep getting bigger and bigger.
Makes me think they tryin' fo' hide something.

On Sunday I had a cuban Romeo y Julieta wide churchill at the archery side after the gun side locked up.
The weather was a little harsh but acceptable. I also introduced a newbie pistol shooter to the art of the cigar. LOL

a few new ones:
Romeo Y Julieta Vintage III, Oliva Series V Melanio, Rocky Patel Royale. the last 2 are a square box pressed cigar, which i like
only smoked the Vintage III so far and was a very tasty mild cigar. i have yet to try the other 2 bc i just got them this week and going to let them brew for a while in the humidor before i light them up :shaka:

That looks like a fine celebration to me.
I caught the covid about 2 months ago and I'm still coughing a bit.
It won't be long before I can enjoy a fine cubano or Nicaraguan smoke.

what the hell....
It's been 2 months since the last cigar, so I did indulge this evening.
I was doing a lot of cleanups today and the weather was cool outside, so I selected a Padilla 1968 Honduran Toro and lit up with a mug of fresh brewed Major Dickason's coffee.
It was wonderful. ;D
-
It was a crappy week at work, so I had a La Perla toro with a tall glass of Whiskey soda.
Because it was hot today and keeping well hydrated is important to good health.
-
I get cubans from a friend of a friend.
But quite honestly, You can get really great cigars by mail order from Cigars International or Thompson.
Some of the lesser-known brands are better than big-name brand cubans or dominicans.
-
I have a guy in CA that has got me some Cubans every once in a great while
but I also have had some really good Dominicans, Hondurans, and Nicaraguans too.
I usually order from JR cigars or Thompsons
my last order was Henry Clay Dominican and JR Ultimate rothschild in natural wrapper which tastes more on the mild to medium but is very flavorful
Henry Clay is an old go-to brand that I like to get frequently. medium to full strength. its the first cigar that I bought a whole box of them
another one of my go-to's is Partagas Black Pyramid
its strong and flavorful. oily wrapper. I can hear the oil burning/sizzling when I smoke it. good stuff!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
Putting together a new humidor, any suggestions on what sticks to put in it? Looking for mild to medium cigars that are good for everyday smokes and to share with guests. And any suggestions for personal smokes would be much appreciated.

==========
Go to Cig. Int. and search La Perla Habana or La Aroma de Cuba
I thought these were just a good as any Cuban cigar at a lower cost.
The thing to remember is that cigars are an agricultural product like mangoes.
Some years are better than others.

Some good brands on the medium to mild side are:
Perdomo - mild
Alec Bradley- medium
Oliva - medium
Punch - mild to medium
Henry Clay- medium
Romeo y Julieta - mild to medium
Montecristo - medium to full
H Upman - medium to full
Partagas- medium to full
Perdomo is a great mild cigar
Cant go wrong with Oliva or Alec Bradley prensado or prensado lost art

Every Punch cigar I've tried made me wobbly.
It's fine if you don't have to walk around.
Great flavor.

About 2 years ago, my buddy gifted me a box of Cuban Hoyo de Monterey double coronas.
Two years ago, we both agreed that they were junk. They tasted "green", as if they were not aged.
I put them on the shelf.
Fast forward 2 years
Last week my cigar buddy dropped by and said, "Let's try those Hoyos again! It's been 2 years!"
So we did. They are wonderful now. We thoroughly enjoyed them with a bottle of Venezuelan rum.
I think they will be even better with another year or two aging.
I think that maybe if you buy cheaper cigars today and they don't taste very good, just let them age a few years.
You might be surprised.

Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua. rated 96 by Cigar Aficionado, cigar of the year 2019

Rocky Patel Winter Collection
I got 5 of these in a 10 pack along with the Aging Room cigars
very good. Cigar Aficionado rates it 90. but I think its a little better than that. well constructed, draw is great, a little on the strong side
but I liked this 10 pack so much, I ordered another 10 pack
next I'll order a different 10 pack with the same Aging Room cigar, but a different Rocky Patel cigar

i got the 3 on the left from Tobaccos of Hawaii on Beretania in moilili
the 2 on the right are my last ones from ordering online
much more expensive to buy locally, but what other option do I have
I guess I'll be smoking less, which may be a good thing
I'll have to request some Cubans from a friend next time she comes to town which is quite often. so maybe I'll be enjoying more Cubans, which may be a good thing too

I have not tried it yet but looks and smells good. Nica Rustica looks good too
I bought those 3 cigars for $32. online would've got me maybe 5 cigars for same price
went Tamura's yesterday and got 2 cigars for $20.
the Punch was $9. same one online would be 5 for $25
crazy :crazy:

went to CIgar Cigar
turns out the owner is a Mustang guy, owns a Shelby GT. so when I pulled up in my California Special, we had something in common
good selection of smokes I got a Arturo Fuente and a Alec Bradley
the Fuente was great! smooth, great construction as always, and it was powerful. had to lie down after this one

Liga Privada Nasty Fritas is a medium to full bodied smaller cigar that has a great taste and gets pretty strong by the last third or so. nice construction
great for when I just want a 30 minute cigar. on the more affordable end. one of my current favorites
made by Drew Estates, they also make Undercrown cigars
I also have a Liga Privada Papas Fritas which I have not tried yet

got a few more of my favorites and a new one that I never tried before. non-Cuban of course :D
Papas Fritas, Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva, Punch Clasico, and new one Whiskey D which I didn't really care for. kept going out and taste was too much sweet for my taste. but at least I know not to get that one again. my own personal opinion. the rest are great. highly recommend those

Having a 711 special today.
Backwoods Russian Cream.
I bought it from 711 on the way home from the range last Sunday.
It's an ugly little stick that looks like something that Josey Wales would smoke. But looks can be deceiving.
For 2 bucks, it's a guilty pleasure.
Back in the early 80s I used to puff Antonio y cleopatra on the way home from Schofield combat pistol shoots. I don't see those around any more.

I brushed it with brandy about 2 years ago.
Wow, it is good.

Besides being a gun newb, as of April 2024 I became a cigar newb. Since the range is “no smoking allowed” (and no one on this site does anything illegal…ever…), where else you folks light one up? My apartment is also no-smoking, so any advice is appreciated.
Current fav is the Maduro Undercrown purchased from Fujioka’s.

The Boyz used to stay for cigars after the range closed. That ended after covid. When the weather is good, it's nice to sit around the archery range to indulge after the range closes at 4pm.

It's a nice evening and it is National Cognac Day. Modelo sounds really good too.
It seems like a good time to sip some brandy or a cold Modelo and light something up.

My friend gave me a few Cuban bolivar so I decided on that with some cheap cognac.

I only live 5 minutes drive from Fujioka's but I've never gone there. finally went there yesterday and they have a good selection of cigars and wine, although I don't drink wine. small selection of whiskey and other liquor. pretty good selection of beer.
got these yesterday. one of my favorite beers, Samuel Smith organic lager, and I haven't had the winter welcome in years. cigars I've never tried before and never heard of before so should be interesting.

Currently having a pretty good Mexican cigar that I bought about 10 yrs ago. Paired with a very rare brandy that Chuck Furuya promoted around 30 years ago. Two days ago I shared some of this brandy with a very lovely ex-coworker. But she didn't like it. She is a white wine person.

Tried one of those Nica Rustica rubustos from Drew Estate. Pretty good, but man the markup from mainland prices is crazy.

You can thank Dr. Green for that markup. He wants to save us all from being sick and miserable. Aren't you glad you have a gov that wants to get rid of horrible gas cars, evil guns, toxic lead bullets,, shooting ranges and cigars? We must be living in paradise.

I would go Thursday. It's only $140.
But I don't think it's a good idea to be drinking and driving that distance.
Especially if the cigar makes me wobbly.

Anyone have experience with transporting cigars via carry-on luggage? I’m Flying to Vegas end of the month and planning to stock the humidor. Grandparents in the past could fly with two cartons of cigarettes in their carry-on, but I couldn’t find any current policies on Hawaiian Airlines’ website. TSA’s website says ‘allowed’, but knowing how much Hawai’i
demands their taxes cares for our health, I imagine there’s an upper limit that will be not be considered ‘for resale’.
-
Re. Airlines
Hawaiian seems more restricted.
Southwest is pretty lenient in general.
I was out at archery side with 3 other guys today.
One of them is moving back from CA.
He just brought back a lot of ammo on southwest.
I heard SW also lets you bring back hundreds of cigars.
Bring back a few tins of ACID RED for me.
These are tiny cigars in tins of 10 each.
I'll pay you back of course.

Checked out En Fuego Cigar Lounge in Las Vegas yesterday. It’s an 11-minute cab ride from the Rio and a very cozy place to indulge. Great selection in their walk-in humidor, a good number of loungers, and a poker table. Rick helped with a couple of selections.
Best part is their discounts: besides their already lower-than-Hawaii prices, you can buy five cigars and get the sixth free and 15% off a full box…I took advantage of both. Will return come next trip.

If you don’t mind inconsistent burns, my everyday-smoke hops between Cuban Rejects and Drew Estate Factory Smokes in Maduro. Good flavor for $5 per, it just doesn’t burn evenly throughout.
