Two of my favorites and I wish I could smoke them every day. I do manage to get a couple of each in a week though...............

Have fun,

Daily? Maybe one or twice a week.

When I just want the taste and not smoke too long. Cohibas or Montecristo Clubs do the trick. Though I have to say Montecristos are better quality. (I'm only talking about the Mini/Clubs here, guess their machines are better).

just picked up 2 boxes one of drew Estate Liga Pravado #9 and a box of Winston Churchill Marakeesh that was signed by Winstons Grandson this yeyar in West Palm Beach Fl. I mix up my smokes alot of Perdomo and Patel but like a Guapo also

I have definitely developed a preference but my humi has a wide variety. I just picked up a box of Oliva O Maduro Robusto and CAO MX2 Toro. I also enjoy the Rocky Patel double maduro as well as the 1990 vintage and world reserve, Gurkah’s have a corner, Sol Cubano (Sumatra,Connecticut and Maduro) are darn nice, they are a child of Oliva. I have a few Punch, CAO Brazil and anniversary maduro, Montecristo Media Noche, a Monte #2 Havana is a beautiful thing as well as an Opus X. Padron 3000 maduro, La Aroma de Cuba’s are pretty good, I absolutely love La Aurora 1495’s and Romeo y Julieta Viejo’s, boxed pressed beauties. I enjoy the Perdomols as well just to name a few in the big box.

I have a question on cigar smoking, well two I guess:

1) Are you supposed to inhale? I've heard so many different answers and I'd like someone to set the record straight.

2) If you do inhale, what is the common nicotine content? It seems to me that it would be several times that of a regular, filtered cigarette.

I don’t inhale. The few times I took a breath and got a face full of smoke at the same time was not a pleasurable experience. One thing with cigars, or at least good cigars, no fillers or additives. They are pure, unmolested long leaf tobacco that has been well aged, in some cases quite a few years.

I like the Famous Smokes own label of Dominican 5000 in a rubusto. It comes out to a buck a stick and it is a nice smooth smoke.

When Mrs Jock allows me, a Philly 'Titan' cigar or failing that a pipe of Irish Flake (Peterson) in the garden with the dog (black labrador gun dog). Heaven!

I try not to smoke the same cigar over and over because I think that the variety is part of the enjoyment. But when I get the new Cigar International magazine (which conveniently is delivered to my office so I have an excuse to spend 30 min doing nothing ) I tend to look for deals on Acid Naturals and Rocky Patel Vintage 1990's. The Naturals you can pick up for about $85 for 20 and the Patel's are more like $120 for 20 so not super expensive but I also only smoke once or twice a week and in the summers only.
