    Well... thats pretty much it...
    Whats your favorite stick?
    Or at least your recent favorite.
    Mine is the Arturo Fuente Chateau Sun grown.
    Pretty cheap and a solid smoke.

    Arturo Fuente Opus X Double Corona - not cheap, but a good one is a fond memory - I don't buy
    them often (make DAMN sure they're fresh!!). Special occasion cigar for me - like the day I got
    my Ferrari :)

    ahh very nice... ive been eyeing one of those at my local shop... but i dont know if i can justify dropping that kinda cash on a smoke... but when i have a big occasion i will have to invest in one.
    thanks for the input!

    Ashton VSG Sorcerer or a hand rolled one from a shop near home called Cortez Cigars, they use all imported tobacco and leaves and roll them on the spot for you (fairly inexpensive as well)

    eh who cares... as long as you like it.
    ive recently taken a liking to curly heads and those are pretty much the bottom of the barrel... before you hit the gas station that is..

    All right! Another vote for Rocky :) A distributor told me to smoke them while they are good. Something about Drew Estate looking to buy the company & skimp on quality? I don't know... rumors...

    Promise me you'll never hit the gas station! I still have nightmares about the Berrings I smoked out of desperation. Yuck!

    "Quorum" makes the best low end cigar IMHO. A bit unpleasant if smoked indoors, but otherwise satisfying for $1 each (when bought in bundles).

    I've got to put in another vote for Rocky, but I like the 1990. I know they're not high end smokes, but that makes it possible to enjoy them whenever and wherever you want without questioning if the occasion is "special" enough to warrant breaking out the big dogs.

    My son's Tae Kwon Do instructor raves about these so I think I'll try one. Are they full bodied and spicy?
