Any cigar aficionados?

Smoked a couple Cohibas last week to fill the desire while I was making an effort to quit smoking. I've always enjoyed them more than most others. Something sweet and smooth about em.

Funny story...

I went to the smoke shop today where I buy all my hookah stuff. They have a full walk-in humidor. I asked the owner to suggest something, and he says "for a regular customer like you? I have something good."

He reached up to the top shelf, behind a bunch of empty boxes, and pulled out a box of cubans.

Bought a few of them. Enjoying one right now. Man, these things are tasty.

-H. Upmann Vintage Cameroon is a great smoke for the money. $6 a stick and it was rated a 92 in cigar aficionado magazine a few years back.

-Ashton VSG. It's got a great full flavor but its smooth.

-My personal favorite (if I can ever find it) is a Padron 1926 40th anniversary. OMG. I almost cried when it was gone. I continued to smell my fingers I was holding it with for a few hours. I didn't want to wash them.

I was always fond of the Romeo and Julieta Marduro Reserve, but good luck finding one now. my supplier's been out of them for at least 2 years.

I'm always trying other brands, blends, and flavors, but I always, always keep drifting back to Onyx Reserve No 2 Belicoso's.

Always perfect burning, perfect smoke, and a rather intense flavor that is nothing less than enjoyable.

Pick up a 5 pack, you will not regret it.

You know it's funny, for years I've been smoking 2-3 bowls of hookah a night and consider myself a true aficionado. Everyone who has ever smoked with me says i make better hookah than any bar they've been to.... but a few nights in a row of smoking fine cigars and I'm actually enjoying them a bit more. I can't say for sure why, but there is a much different feel I enjoy. I think I could get into this.
