    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?

    Asking for a recommendation on a "good cigar" is analog to asking "what gun should I buy."

    The clean robusto natural by drew estate was my favorite back when I was smoking cigars regularly.

    I was just going off of what the manager (probably no longer there as this was about 7 years ago) of Edwards advised when I used to go there, bourbon and brandy go well with a cigar. Another go-to if you want, that helps with the flavor and compliments each other well is cola... then again I rarely ever smoke a cigar (when I did) without a beverage of some kind. Beer usually isn't the best to compliment a cigar, though.

    Edwards Tobacco on Broadway, just n. of Hampden. Great shop, been going there for years. Excellent selection, good prices, friendly, knowledgable staff, smoking lounge in back, 10% discount on Fridays after 3, and 2 gun shops within walking distance! Everyone should pop into M.W. Reynolds sometime just to gawk at the 4- and 5-figure sporting guns they have. Not what you'd expect to find on Broadway amongst the pot shops.

    I smoke A. Fuente Cubanitos, small cigars that come in a tin. Very good, I just don't care for full-size cigars much. Take so long to smoke, and I'll have a headache by the time I'm done.

    From what I've read, there's just as many crappy bootleg "Cuban" cigars actually produced in Cuba as bootleg Cubans from anywhere else. Just because they come from Cuba and may have a high-end Cuban brand name on them doesn't mean they're genuine and really from that maker. And all the big-name cigar makers have long since started operations in other Caribbean countries nearby to get around the embargo, and they all use Cuban seed tobacco anyway, so it's kind of a non-issue. Cohibas from Honduras are just as tasty as Cuban Cohibas.

    In order or preference:
    Don Carlos
    Macanudos (cuban when on a cruise or in Canada)
    Monte Christo
    Swisher Sweets (yeah, I know)

    Btw: We were on the Canadian side of Niagra recenty and passed a cigar shop, no place to park so I let my wife out with instructions to buy me a Macanudo. She got back into the car with one at $75 with tax! I was expecting $10 or $15, it was good but not worth $75!

    Off topic, but I plan to smoke a pipe when I get older.

    I enjoy Montecristo #1's for a smooth but still reasonably full smoke. I'll go with a Kuba Kuba if I want something with other than tobacco flavor in a still regular looking cigar. If I want a quick smoke I actually grab clove cigarettes, Djarum blacks. If you aren't into any whiskies, I sometimes go with a cab sauv, or another heavy red wine when I smoke. You need something like a whiskey or heavy red to cut through the tobacco flavor and the fact that your taste buds lose sensitivity when you smoke. Scotch on the rocks is my other choice when smoking.

    I like Drew Estate stuff. Juciy Lucy and Root. Probably not the kind of recommendation you were looking for on the Juicy Lucy, but I'd give the Root a try.

    I smoke cigars, but don't pay attention to brands enough to remember what was good or not, except anything by Drew Estate (including Acid). I've tried dipping the tip of the cigar in Sambuca every few drags.

    I really prefer pipes over cigars. Much more smooth, and I like the flavor as well. Your house/car/whatever usually recovers from the smoke smell quicker as well.
