Cigar Smokers of Getbig

[Tapeworm]

The Cuaba Exclusivo from Cuba.  Amazing smoke if you prefer something smoother and less aggressive, as I frequently do.  Mid price, mid size perfecto/torpedo.  Longest smoke I've ever had.  The thing just wouldn't sour.  Only had one but have ordered 10 more and see a box in my future.  This could be my new go-to cigar.  I was that impressed.

The Padron range.  Nicaraguan, so available in the US.  Only tried 2 from their standard range (Panatella and the 7000) but was impressed and have ordered a few more.  Didn't suffer at all from the usual one dimensional taste of non-Cubans, so my veulta abajo snobbishness is no more after these.

Ramon Allones.  Cuban.  Their specially selected/selecion especial continues to appeal to me when I want something a little earthier and with some bite to it.

I have given up on my Punch. Their tobacco is awesome but the idiots have basically forgotten how to roll.  Draw issues have forced me to look elsewhere.  I have recently had to return 16 petits, and their flagship Punch Punch is so hit & miss it feels more like gambling than buying a good cigar.


What are you reaching for these days?

I had a Monte Cristo Limited Edition 2010 the other day, absolutely floored me how good it was, even better than the Monte Cristo #2's I usually have.

I can handle a Monte at the back end of a big weekend, like if I've been smoking heavily and killed off the weaker parts of myself, but normally they're too full on for me.  You might find the Cuaba really boring, haha.

I'm not a kiss-ass Getbig guy, but I think Disturbia's avatar is HOF material. Great pic.

Spent 24 canadian dollars on a smoke this weekend Partagas-Havana P#2,  seemed a bit steep but fuck it, company dime.

Year in, year out nothing can touch the RASS in terms of consistency.

I love monte cristo as well! got 2 boxes when I was in Cuba!

also Romeo & Julietta and to a lesser degree (because of the outrageous price) Cohiba

for a cheaper cigar Guantanamela are amazing and smooth, that's what i usually have when I'm having a ps3 call of duty party, we take turns playing online with cigars and good vodka!

Take it easy, stud.  Patience is a virtue.  


Yep.  http://www.cigarworld.com.au/cigars/index.html  He seems like a pretty good dude.  Even offered to reimburse me for 6 Punch petits which I had struggled through (found one that smoked right in the 22 he had available), but I was happy enough that he'd accept the 16 remaining back.  Some of these guys, like my local shop, will just shrug and tell you it's hard luck.

The local guy is in a very high rent area too and his prices are just absurd because of it.  Last time I was in there, 2 dudes in suits were holding a conversation that was straight out of American Psycho.  I should have asked to see their business cards.  "Is that a watermark?"  Dickheads...

Never had a bad one and have a least one a week if they're on hand.  Sometimes I want something more delicate tho.  I should just give in a buy a box already but I'm doing a little exploring these days.

You like 'em strong eh.  I've never had a Cohiba because of the price.  Tried a smaller Davidoff recently tho.  Borrrring.  I don't know how they charge what they do.

I'm no expert but aren't you supposed to be able to draw air through a cigar?

Give us a recommendation, G.  What do you smoke?

holts.com carries the LADC and the Padrons at a pretty good price.

Sweet.  I have to find out what the import tax will be.  Australia is cruel.  Your Padron '64 is $30 here.  I try to stay under $25 but I'll get one to try out.

[Tapeworm]

Indeed.  The Holts box price of $10.90 per would probably double after tax.  Couldn't see the tariff making it triple tho.
