I love JRs. For a cheaper smoke try one of their alternatives, or I like Nicaraguan cigars. They post a weekly special every Wednesday.

I remember somebody put out a catalog,and for the life of me I can't remember the name-but they had all kinds of sample packs that were pretty decent for the money.

Probably Thompson Cigar Co., I've bought from them before and the shit was old and dried out. Best bet is to buy 'em local and support the local businessman.

Very nice recommendations fella's! I am confused on which to start with,....
On another note: I am not much of a bourbon drinker, scotch or even brandy. I just don't like any of them, and have tried them, but it is a no go. So any good recommendations on a favorite drink, or how you guys like to enjoy them?

I like coffee, ice water, or iced tea. Or maybe Mexican coke, the kind with real sugar instead of corn syrup.

Not a fan of beer. Hops and cigars don't work well together.

ETA: Last year, I had a La Aurora Cien Anos perfecto and a bottle or two of Mexican coke for my birthday cigar. They went together so well that I think it will become a tradition of mine.

Also, if you're not sure where to start, start mild. Most Macanudos are pretty mild, as are the Oliva Connecticut Reserve (Edward's and The Tobacco Leaf both keep them in stock at a decent price, and they're probably my favorite connie-wrapped cigar.)

Of the Drew Estate cigars...I freaking love the T52's but they're hard to find and spendy when you do, and the My Uzi Weighs a Ton, which are a little potent if you're not used to them. The only infused ones I liked all that much were the DE Naturals. I thought the others had too much of the flavoring. Someone else once told me that he thought the DE Acid Kuba Kuba was like smoking an air freshener, and I can see (taste?) where he gets that from.

I like some of the Acids from Drew Estates. Blondie and KubaKuba.

A cold Guinness with a good Cuban Bolivar Corona-Gigantes, while in the lounge at the Intercontinental in Hong Kong is truly tough to beat...even if comparing to the various options in Habana such as the Hotel Americana.....or so I'm told....:

So, you guys that like the Acid line - any of you ever try Lars Tetens cigars? I used to nab a couple of those now and then, and I "think" the Acid line is somehow related. The Tetens had the same kind of aromas, flavorings and construction. Definitely not for everybody.

Absolutely head on over to Edwards on Broadway. Best smoke shop in town.
La Aroma De Cuba is one Ive been into lately, as well as Casa Magna. But yea, Edwards all the way.
As far as Beverages with cigars. I bought a nice espresso machine specifically for making various coffee drinks to compliment my cigars . one of the best purchases Ive made in a while.

Tell JM to grab a couple from me next time he sees me... You won't be disappointed

Rub it in... I probably, in my line of work or future line of work, will never make my way to HK... Now you have my envy in being able to do such a thing. Sure beats smoking Cubans purchased from a Dutch store in Afghanistan while looking at dirt mountains (look west, imagine those mountains without vegetation, that was my view for a year).
