4. Close, but no cigar
Pipe smoker here.

Yup, ol' man type antiquated pipe guy.

Hand-mades with aged Virginia Flakes or Latakia English blends.

5. Puros Indios and Indian Tabac (Fire)
Natural wrapper good, Maduro better! (signed up w/ Cigarbid.com for cheap email deals)

Also enjoy a good bowl of GL Pease Rennaisance or Frog Morton in a corncob pipe (chew the stem, smoke 'em hot, generally abuse these cheap pipes yet they still provide a good smoke-- and they're made in the USA).

American Spirit ciggies are my main smoke, though. Cheap online-- prefer their menthols, though their organic cigs are pretty good too.

12. Oh God there are so many.
Edited on Tue Jul-13-04 01:01 AM by Companero
Trinidad Toros, Partagas Fabuloso, Sancho Panza Primoroso, Partagas Spanish Rosado Mitico and of course there is nothing better than a Cohiba Esplendidos from Cuba.

15. Assuming you get a real one, that is
The Cohiba Esplendidos is the most-counterfeited cigar in the history of cigar rolling.

I smoked a Fuente Fuente Opus X, which was a bitch to find, cost me about the price of a tank of gas and was worth it.

13. Avo, especially the reserve series with the orange band, but lots of
others.

Davidoff, PG, Padron (the square pressed anniversarios! yum), la gloria cubana (which can be so liquorice-y when fresh).

Of Cubans, Bolivar, and Hoyo de Monterrey, and all of them...!

14. Premiums: Punch
I like Partagas and H. Uppmans too.

But for a good inexpensive smoke, nothing beats JR Alternatives, which comes 20 to a bundle for about $15-$25 and taste good.
