What is your daily cigar?
I have gotten back into smoking cigars over the past few months but most of what I use to know is long gone. I have been experimenting with different brands/types to find what I like. As it stands now, I have a preference for maduro wrapper, larger ring size and shorter length like a Robusto or Toro. I have a box of 5Vegas Series ‘A’ on order along with a few other assortments.
My question at hand, what do you smoke on a regular basis? This can be an expensive habit, and I do appreciate the nuances of a good cigar, but that will drive me broke. So what is a good bang for the buck stick to augment the better smokes?
Another question, how many do you smoke a week? I am trying to keep my consumption down to just a couple a week, but on a nice day it is all I can do not to go outside, sit at the picnic table and enjoy a cigar for an hour or more, which in itself could get me in trouble. One of my coworkers is a long time cigar smoker so we tend to get into the stash and go out for a smoke together. More enjoyable that way, a little conversation on a gorgeous spring day while enjoying a nice full bodied cigar is a quick way to kill a lot of time.
OK, one last question. Who is you cigar vender of choice. I have been looking around and so far Cigars International.com looks to be a good deal.

I dunno if 5.75 is too much for a daily smoke or not (I usually stretch them out over two days), but my new found favorite is a Tabacalara Perdomo
The Estate Seleccion Vintage 1991 – the “Regente” Maduro.
It also fits into the general description of your preferred type of cigar!
Happy shaving and smoking!

For cheaply priced quality cigars I like from Thompson's Flor de Oliva.
I just ordered 25 for a little over $50. They're a nice smoke and
at priced right. Also, from JR Cigars I like the Genuine Counterfeit
Cuban line of cigars they have. Again, nice smokes and priced right.

Thanked: 4I've been buying the majority of my smokes from Famous Smoke Shop. Some cigars that might fit your parameters are: Punch Punch Rothschild (maduro, double maduro, or oscuro), CAO Brazilia Piranha, Rocky Patel Factory Select Maduro. The CAOs are a bit over three bucks each if you shop around, the others are no more than two dollars each (box price).
HTH,

I have had a couple of the CAO Brazils and they are pretty good, Padron 3000 is another I use to frequent and falls in that $3-4 a stick range. I will have to look up the Tabacalara Perdomo Maduro as well. I have seen the counterfeit cuban’s before as well. I will have to see if the local shop has them in singles and get a couple to try.
For those of you that nurse a stick over a couple of days, do you just snuff out the tip or do you clean cut it? I have honestly never nursed a stick beyond one sitting.

I gave up tobacco maybe six years ago, but still remember how much pleasure I got from "Old Fashioned #550's". These came from Mike's Cigars, and I see they still carry them. The 550's used to be seconds of Macanudo Hyde Parks, which I considered a good morning cigar. I did inhale so I wanted a milder smoke. I still maintain a stocked humidor at 70 /70 so if I ever decide to slip I'm ready.

I just let it burn out, and wrap a small piece of tin foil around the remaining body of the cigar. I smoke three per week tops; so, I enjoy day one of each smoke much more than day two, but day two is not a bad puff either.
BTW - I mis-stroked the price of the Perdomo . . they are 8.70, not 5.70! Try one though -- they are really good! (Somone needs to add a cigar smoker smilie!)

Actually, I smoke pipe, but on weekends I like cigars with cognac.
Now I have a box of "La Aroma De Cuba", quite pleasant cigars.Alex Ts.
