What are your daily smokes?

[alwaysup81]

:waving:Hey everyone,

First post. I'm very new to the cigar world, reading alot and learning alot. I'm wondering what are everybody's daily smokes. :ccowboy: Not literally everyday, but when you guys sit back after a nice meal of red meat and some wine. Pour yourself a glass of scotch or grab a bottle of beer, what do you smoke?

Weather is getting nice and more outdoor time, I'm going to smoke a little bit more, maybe once a day. Also, I'm looking to build up my stash, so please shed some light on what are good daily cigars and definitely not too pricey; otherwise I will not have arms to type cause my finance will rip them out.

Thank you all. :tiphat:

Oliva V, Cain F, the cheaper Tatuajes, any of the Don Pepin Garcias.

The three smokes I have to stay stocked up on are Oliva serie G, Nub habano, and CAO La Traviata. All of which can be had fairly inexpensively. Remember, taste is subjective. The best thing you can do is buy some 5 packs of those "every day" priced smokes and see what you like and won't let you down.

If I were to pick a daily smoke, Padron 2000 maduro or chateau fuente sun grown. Neither being in a high price range. I am a Fuente/Padron whore.. Consistency is key.

Also Fuente hemingway line ie: short storys, work of arts, etc.. You taste and palate will be different from the next guys.. Experience will tell you whats right.

Liga Privada T52. I burn through these regularly.

Something to recommend to you that's not very pricey... Benchmade by Pepin Garcia. It's inexpensive, spicy, and medium to full in strength.

Tatuaje (name it)
Liga (name it)
Padron (64 TAAs and 26 35s)

EPC anything, my father le bijoue petite robusto ohhh great stick, tat for sure a quick smoke from them is the petite cazadore on this site they go by pcr usually. What is your price point for a daily smoke?

 

[alwaysup81]

Thanks alot guys. I just had my first Padron 2000 this morning, those are great cigars. However, it's a little bit light for my taste. It burns, taste, smells and draws great, but had to toss it out towards the end, I'll say around 2.5" left, it was getting too bitter for me.

I read alot about all Padron, Tatuaje is all over the forums. I will look into 5 packs of Liga. Also, any good bargain sites for these fine cigars? Thanks guys.

cohiba, montecristos and starting to be trinidads

In the AM I try to find a good Connecticut or claro to have with coffee. Examples are the Viaje or Illusione candela, Man o War Virtue or EPC New Wave. Later in the day it's Padron Maduro, anything Tat, Cabaguan, El Triumfador, Casa Fernandez, Viaje, Illusione, Liga Privada or any Don Pepin.

I'm looking for something below $5. I live in NYC where everything is overpriced. Also, the B&M shop near my work in Brooklyn is ridiculously expensive. The Padron 2000 I smoked this morning costs me $9. Since I'm a noob, I didn't know any better. I just read really good reviews of Padron and went out and bought one, the only thing I missed was, research the price. Anyway, always learn from my mistakes. I won't walk near that shop every again.

I'm looking into all Tatuaje, Padron and Liga now.

since you're always up (hehe) watch Joe's Jam tonight!

They just had Padilla Miami toro's for $4 a pop. I'll post back in here if I see something worth grabbing.

Don Pepin Blue's are up right now - 10 for $40 shipped. Probably a $10 stick in NY. Jump on these.

 

[StocktonJohn]

To start out try a lot of different cigars. You can buy singles on many sites at good prices. Tampa Humidor ships singles for free. I've done a lot of "research" this way.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

I have 3 sticks I smoke regularly

Tat SODO is what I smoke the most of currently

Then I smoke these on the Golf Course: LFD Double Ligero 700 or EP Carrillo Short Run Dominantes

 

[Treinenwj]

A couple great ones you can get for under $5 online are the Fuente Short Story, and the Oliva Serie V lanceros. But, like the other guys said, almost anything Tat, Pepin or Liga are good, especially when you find them under $5. Again, remember taste is subjective, so try a few of each to find out what you like, and don't be afraid to branch out and try some things you find on your own.

 

[danthebugman]

Whatever is in my humidor. One suggestion though would be Padron 2000, either Maduro or Natural. Love those sticks. Actually any of the x000 line is a good value.

My dailys tend to change over the weeks and months but lately it's been Alec Bradley Tempus and Prensado, Don Pepin Black...I've actually been smoking a variety of stuff.

I have to agree with this...it is mixed filler but taste-wise, to me, it is similar to his white label (Serie JJ) and San Cristobal. Not bad for $3!
