    Looks bigger than that in the pic. Of course that's probably within about a half inch of an A isn't it? I don't think I've tried the Anejo's. Might have to go on my list. How does it compare to something like a Flor Fina?

    I have small hands. I'd be a great lesbian ;)

    The Anejo is a must try. Broadleaf maduro wrapper, sweet complex and really well balanced. Much better than Opus X these days.

    Check out the Fausto by Tatuaje. By far my favorite cigar at any price point, yet they're only $8 ea.

    I stopped at JRs' at I-77, exit 50, just north of Charlottesville, NC.
    Yesterday.
    I know nothing about cigars.
    A senior gentleman there suggested I try these.
    I paid $10.95
    They have a smooth flavor and aroma
    There was also a hint of coffee
    Is this a good brand and a fair price ?

    Macanudo is one of the biggest brands in the USA. Very mild and smooth, a good place to start with cigars, IMO. Drink a latte or blonde coffee (or your preferred adult beverage) while you smoke those little guys.

    Agreed with Kona. Plus JR is a reputable dealer moving large volumes and usually has good pricing.

    Now the madness begins. Welcome!

    Cigarbid.com is alright but has lately gotten flooded with bids over MSRP. Some good deals cab stilll be had, though.

    Cigarauctioneer and cigarmonster are nice as well.

    Cigarbid.com is good but you do have to watch the prices. Unless you get in pretty cheap on something you can sometimes find a better deal elsewhere. Also make sure of what you are bidding on, the pictures often don't match what's really being sold. Just stock photos they throw up quick.

    I mostly buy from cigarbid but notice its almost always the same few brands and styles listed. I like the site and ive gotten alot of deals off there, but im going to give some other bid sites a shot soon.

    The guy I trade with at work brought me in some more sticks this week I lit up the CAO OSA tonight. Pretty good smoke but it kind of fell apart on me. Might have been a little dry. Very tasty and nice draw though. I've seen CAO around but I think this is the first one I've tried.

    Just got in a whole box of Montecristo A. Fabulous to look at, touch, smell. Can't wait to try one later this week.

    Just picked up a Nat Sherman Timeless Hermoso and am pretty excited to try it. It's a tad stronger compared to what I normally smoke.

    I was extremely pleased with the cigar. To me it was one of my favorites to date but please take it with a grain of salt since I'm still very new in the cigar scene. It was a very smooth pull and easy smoke with a decent amount of flavor. I may pick another one up today if I get the time to go for a stroll. However I may splurge on a slightly pricier unit this time to celebrate the new year.

    Just got this little toy from my lady friend and am extremely excited to try it out (http://www.hotref.com/Stainless-steel-cigar-case-flask-combo-p-4362.html)
