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.
