Anyone here a cigar smoker?

Used to smoke an occasional padron with a buddy of mine that always had one. Haven't smoked one in years and one of my employees gave me a padron 3000. Forgot how good they are. Ordered some Padron 1964 Aniversario Exclusivo Maduro Robusto's and they were awesome! Got a humidor and started getting more cigars. Got some Rocky Patel 50 limited for like a 1/3 the price for a 10 pack. Great cigar, real close to the padron 64's. I keep getting emails from the company I order from for awesome deals and have had way too many so I give them away to my coworkers.

Try the Paul Garmirian brand, if you get the chance. Paladin Feb 2019 #4

One of my buddies is a cigar aficionado and gets his stash from Cuba via another country. It's always a treat.

The downside for me is that the odor lodges in my sinuses and it takes days for it to go away.

Amazing how much better the smokes from Central America are, these days. Not that I ever pass up the opportunity for a Havana puro.....

They're not that easy to find, and they are expensive, but they are very worthwhile. I've smoked a lot of different brands, and some of them approach Cuban quality; Garmirians are the only ones I've found that taste just as good as Cuban smokes.
