What cigar should I smoke this weekend?

[amir11950]

Hey guys,

Weekend is coming up and my only options are cubans. My go to cigars are Cohiba Siglo II and IV.

I'm looking to try something else. I don't like cigars with a very dry woody taste.

Brands I like are mainly Cohiba and Ramon Allones.

Maybe you should give us more helpful information.
Do you have a home humidor or do you just purchase from a B&M? Are you looking to buy a box or a single smoke?

Partagas Serie D #4.

I don't have a humidor. On that topic, would a glass tupperware be good enough for a humidor? I don't wanna spend outgrageously for a humidor.

Since I don't have a humidor, I'd only be looking into getting a few sticks.

As long as it's airtight, absolutely. I use a small Pyrex container with a sealed lid and a large 65% Boveda pack. That's really all it takes to start out on the cheap!

Are you wanting to get into the hobby of buying, storing and smoking cigars? Or are you just a casual smoker that wants to try a different Cuban cigar?

 

[amir11950]

I do want to get into the hobby. I'm just not in the position to spend upwards of 250 or 300 dollars on a box of cigars. Buying sticks here and there and collecting a variety is more of what I'm looking into.

As said above, more info would be helpful so we can help you. What country do you live? Are you gonna be walking into a shop to buy your Cubans? Are there high taxes where you live? What other marcas have you tried that you don't like? What's your budget?

Glass tupperware with a 62% Boveda pack and you're in business.

As for what you're looking for, check out the RA Superiors, it's got that cinnamon spice and everything nice. Bolivar BFFs are smoking great as well, might be a nice change of pace. Rich, full flavor.

I live in Dubai. I don't know the normal prices for cigars around the world. I do know that Dubai charges 100% import tax on tobacco products.

For example a Siglo II costs me USD 13.66. A Ramon Allones Small Club Corona costs USD 6.83.

I'm up for anything just as long as its not too expensive. THat's one of the main reasons I dislike Davidoff with a passion. Although I do like some of their pipe tobaccos.

Hard to go wrong with a RASS or PSD4. I haven't smoked any recently, but I've heard very good things about the Bolivar Belicoso Fino right now as well.

Something with some age on it if possible.

I say hit the shop and choose whatever is calling your name

 

[Nacho Daddy]

prices there are better than most of Europe and ALL of Canada.
Work your way along,keep trying different Marcas.......

Oh,and take a second job.You will need the income when you get hooked........

I've already experienced the financial burden from cigars. Looking forward to smoking some CAO. I haven't heard anything about them but apparently based on reviews, they're good stuff
