Thread: What cigar did you smoke today?

You know, I have tried all cigars; expensive to cheap, and I have to say that the Finck's brand suits my palette the best. It's economical and tastes good to me. I'm content at this point but Thank You! But when we stop the embargo with Cuba, I'll get on board.

If you like them, who am I to tell you what you like. That being said I tried them when I started smoking cigars in 96, you really can't tell what you like until you have tried them a couple of times, because one box may be great and a few months later, (so there not from the same batch) they are nasty. Funny thing is my first favorite cigar was a brand named Carbonell, and buy all accounts they were the Marlboro of the Dominican republic, and for about a year they were great. Then something funny happened, a brand so popular changed their label, no big deal I thought, boy was I wrong, completely different and not for the better. I was so glad that I had bought all of the boxes with the yellow label and had them tucked away in my big humidor, where two boxes still reside, waiting for my son's to get married. The new ones
(Which have a green label) went over like the bombing of Pearl harbor. Gone and almost completely scrubbed from the internet. I can't find anything about either one. But we're way off track here, it you like your system don't mess with it, but consider this, after a few days you can turn the bottle, my wife thinks there called a canning jar, but doesn't know, upside down, so the vapers have to go up through the stogies imparting more flavor. It really does work, I tried it with two different jars using Grand marnier and the difference was noticeable. If you like just respond to this and I'll post a picture. The nice thing is that you can change flavors, infused with different tastes. I never thought I would like the LaDiva cigars and now believe it or not, are collector items, I found one cigar on Etsy, and it said not for smoking. I'm not sure why as there sealed in glass tubes, so they should be fine to smoke. I have one left and now I can't smoke it because of guilt.
Have a good smoke.

I'm going to look into this. Like I said this is an interesting concept. There are only 3 cigars from Finck's that I'll smoke - Lamb's Club classic, Lamb's Club classic Cubano (Dominican Republic), and their Puritano's (Nicaragua). They have been consistent for a number of years and are modestly priced (about $5.00 a stick) so they within my budget and I do like the taste. Full body with lots of flavor!
