    Go to absolutecigars.com They guarantee delivery of authentic Cuban cigars, and their prices are reasonable. They are in Canada and I used them to get my dad some nice stogies for his birthday last year. I also heard that this new gel humidor product is way better than the liquid type.

    My current favorites are Arturo Fuente Hemingway and Tatuaje.

    Don't have a digi cam, but my humidor isn't very impressive anyway. Only have about 40 cigars and 30 or so are the same ones.

    Nice Smoke, especially limited edition version.

    Favorite right now "Trinidad Extra Robusto"

    Cohiba Sublime Limited Edition is quite good, I don't like any of the others...

    Anything from Padron is outstanding.

    Even to us here in the US?

    If so pretty cool. I just started smoking cigars a few months ago. Im only 18 but love it! Maybe once a month or every other month if I can get my hands on quality stuff. My cousin just came back from the Dominican Republic with some local stuff and some Cuban cigars. Tasted amazing. How come the few American cigars I have tried taste horrible and I choke but the Cubans have some taste that isnt bad? Usually I cant even be in a room with cigarettes but Im comfortable smoking a cigar.

    Im new to the whole cigar thing, but I am going to ask anyway. If I do buy a humidor and some cigars is there a such thing as too many or too little cigars in the humidor? Also how long can they be stored for?

    There was a fellow named Gentry on here who was a cigar afficionado. Even had his own cigar company!

    My father loves really "harsh" tasting cigars. I prefer something along the lines of a black and mild taste or something a bit sweet. Then again my dad drinks fosters for beer and str8 jack for liquor while im a bud light and rum and coke kind of guy.

    I do also enjoy a fine cigar every once in a while. If you are looking for something "harsh" look for something strong and full bodied. I usually get a macanudo, helix, or an arturo fuente when I purchase one. They are not the most expensive but I feel they are good for the money. When you to to the tabacco shop ask what they reccomend. Usually the guys that work there are aficionados themselves and are more then willing to offer up their recommendations. Hope I could help. Good luck.

    Yep. If customs catches it and FedEx doesn't make the delivery, you get another delivery the next day. I don't think it is too big of a problem, so nobody is making a big fuss about it.

    Great! I think I am going to pool my money together with a few friends and get some Cohibas and a decent humidor.
