Yep, I'm an Okie. I've been smoking cigars for about 10 years now and I'm just recently broadening my repertoire. I only smoked Padron Maduros for almost 5 years...then added CAO and Ashton to my favorites list. I found a top 25 website that rates cigars and I'm buying boxes of $6 and under highly rated sticks now. I'm puffing on a La Flor Double Ligero as I type...it's very well made, even burning and tasty. (I really like chocolate and coffee flavors) I recently tried a Pancho Sanza double maduro that was like a $3 stick that was outstanding! Buying internet cigars saves me about 1/2 over local prices (little competition here in the bible belt). :devil:
