Go Canes!

Good stick.

 

[Hot Nuts]

My first one. Right after I posted Go Canes! NJ scores in 10 secs on a PP. Karma sucks!

This may or may not have been asked here before, but I’ll go ahead and embarrass myself anyway.

I’ve technically smoked cigars in the past—by that I mean once in a very pale blue moon—so I’m basically a beginner who knows just enough to cut and hold one the right way (most of the time). Lately, I’ve had a random craving to get into cigars a bit more seriously and figured this would be the right place to ask.

I’m looking for a few recommendations that aren’t too heavy and would be friendly for someone just starting out. I’ll be in Pasadena next week and usually stop by Cigars by Chivaz with my brother-in-law, so I can run any suggestions by the owner and go from there.

Thanks in advance.

There are many medium sticks I could recommend. Probably my favorite would be Tombstone. However for the price point these days, prices have increased from $5 a stick to about $7.50. Let me think of some others. https://www.jrcigars.com/item/boneshaker-tombstone/maul/BSTMAUL.html#start=1

My Father Tabacos Baez is a great value medium stick at $2.75 a stick or so. It's a short filler.

Well, I might get some hate for recommending this cigar because of the price, but my first cigar was the Davidoff No.2, and I still smoke it to this day.

I don't need to say too much about it if you watch the video. It is pricey, but if you start out smoking fine, hand rolled cigars you will have a better first experience.

Kinda like fine liquor, the better stuff costs more than the "Cheap Stuff"

anyway - this is always my recommendation for newbies and have not had any negative results, as I like to say "your milage may vary..."

 

[Hot Nuts]

You don't want to know my view on Davidoff and Gurkha. It will probably piss you off. Just being honest.

 

[Hot Nuts]

Buy this and don't look back. It's like going from China Clays to Paulsons. https://www.cigarpage.com/best-of-my-father-ultimate-6-cigar-collection.html

I’ll grab it and let you know how it goes!

Start with the My Father El Centurion H-2K-CT Box-Pressed Corona. then My Father La Antiguedad Robusto and work your way up.

Cigars are like other preferences; once you try the good stuff, you no longer like the cheap stuff. Edit, although I still go cheap because my cigar habit ain't cheap.

I kinda figured that much. Once you try the good stuff and you’re able to decipher it from the crap you’ve smoked before, game over.

Well if ya didn't smoke 10 cigars a day...

Circling back on SensorPush. Used it for around 5 years and my general impression is that it is a poor product. Consistently reads well above the humidity, even after 2-3 calibrations, when tested against multiple other hygrometers. Right now, it’s a full 10% points higher in two of my humidors. The others are around 5% off. Pretty disappointing. I’m moving on and using simpler, far less expensive hygrometers that, while they require the Mk1 hand and eyeball to monitor, have proven far more reliable.

Anyone else have this experience?

At a shop with a smoking lounge. Usually can’t smoke in any building in Virginia this store’s been here for a long time and grandfathered in. The guy here recommended this smoke and it’s really good.

Padron 50th Anniversary. This one had some amazing tooth to it. IMO: Strong cigar. Spice bomb the first third, then mellowed to coffee and chocolate for the second third, to a rich espresso on the final third. Smoke galore. This is the best cigar I’ve ever smoked. Highly recommend, but on a full stomach.

Had a Herrera Esteli for the first time this past weekend and was instantly one of my favorites (taste and burn were fantastic). Was told the red labels are even better, so that's the next stick I'll be buying/trying out. (I'm no connoisseur as an FYI.)

If you’re interested in jumping right into the deep end I’d highly recommend giving this sampler from TampaSweethearts.com
a try. You won’t regret.

Only $316 a stick, discounting the humidor and accessories. Does Iceman own Fox Cigars? Sold many, last one available.
