    If so, how often? What do you like?

    As for me, I like Romeo ye Juliettas... Churchills mainly. After that Punch would be next. I like their Punch Punch Punch's. Cohibas run a little to spicy for me. American living in japan so I get Cubanes... I feel they are alot better then Dominicans... Thoughts?

    I've been known to smoke a cigar or two.


    Thoughts? On Cubans vs Domincans? Depends on the leaf in question, the shape of the cigar and factory it was made in. Too many variables to make an all encompassing statement.

    Just FYI, don't be too quick to pass judgement on Honduran, Dominican and Costa Rican tobacco. If you're smoking some of the more popular "Habanos" then you're more than likely injesting a fair amount of non-cuban tobacco.

    You will also find some very good information in the FerrariChat archives.

    My favorite by far is Diamond Crown, with Partagas a close 2nd (forgot which Partagas, the one in the glass tube).

    DC is awesome - great burn, smooth and silky and just a great smoke. $10+ a stick is steep though!

    yeah, ten bucks is pretty steep, but they're smooth as silk.

    PM him and I am sure he would send you one!

    That is actually the one I have but the Mac does a great job even with small sized files.

    I try to smoke a little. I typically go for the milder stuff, but the best cigar I have ever had was in Palm Springs, The Padron 1964 anniversary, cost more then my meal that night, but man was it worth it

    I usually smoke once or twice a week. Some of the cigars I always keep stocked in my humidor are Punch Grand Puro, Macanudo Maduro, Gurkha Regent, and Gurkha Legend. I just tried Natural by Drew Estate a couple weeks ago. Awesome cigar! I've since bought a box 'em.
    If anyone's around the Woodland Hills area, we have a Cigar Night at VCR on the last Thursday of every month. Cigars, wine, pizza, Ferraris, and good people. The next one is this Thursday. http://ferrarichat.com/forum/showthread.php?t=125498


    Fantastic cigar! I too had a 1964 in Palm Springs. They have a great cigar shop there called Fame Tobacconist.

    I love Partagas Series D No.4. My favorite non-cuban are Lone Wolf cigars. They are great. Another good cigar that is cheap are Perdomos.

    +1 especially Lone Wolf Lobo Fuerte. I recently went to a cigar dinner hosted by the owner of Lonewolf Cigars. We recieved a few different Lonewolf sticks and all of them were great.

    Occasional smoker here. I am currently in love with Cohiba Black Churchills. I'm looking to try a Macanudo this week.

    I've been tempted to try Cohiba Blacks, but resist due to the fact that I might like it! At $300-400 a box, it better have some of the "funny tobacco" rolled into it.:D

    Yes, I am getting into it as well now. My new humidor will be in today. Got to season it and then I'll be good to go. I just was in Puerto Rico and had a wonderful Montecristo Edition Limitada robusto. Have some dominicans here at home, and I'm going to try the Monte Afrique's as well. For cigars to give away, share, I have JR Alternatives Monte C's.
