Any cigar smokers?

[blue-sun]

Of those I've had the Gurkha which was a nice decent smoke. I've had the RP which I liked, I've had the Indian Tabac and don't think it's anything special. The Vegas is a keeper, I enjoy those. I'm assuming there was a typo and by "CAD" you may have meant CAO? If I'm wrong my apologies but if it is CAO I love anything from them. I recommend the Brazilia's personally.

As for the rest, never smoked them. Decent selection though. Let's get together and smoke soon

Yah, CAO not CAD. LOL

Here's a pic of her, fully stocked. As you can see, it's a small humidor.

Acid? Gross.

I'm a big fan of Hoyo De Monterrey's. They're my "go to" cigars.

I'm fan of them also just not the dark summatra to dark for my tastes

what are good web sites to buy from?

I'm lucky enough to have a great cigar shop by me but I like to compare prices form time to time.

You can check out jrcigars, or cigar.com. Cigar.com sometimes runs a little high though they do have some great deals from time to time. Then there is cigarbid.com. Basically everything they sell there starts at a dollar and you bid until the closing date. I've picked up fivers that run for $30 generally for $7 so its a great site to catch a good deal, but its also very hard as there are other who are willing to pay more to out bid you. If you do go there, one word of advice: never overbid yourself more then you wanted to. Another one will come along, so just wait for that.

Went to a BBQ/party last night. . .one of my friends brought some cigars and we all lite up. I got a Cuesta Rey 898 from his stash (I asked for the mildest cigar in his bunch) and it was very good.

had the Vegas Gold today. very nice cigar. Though, I think the thicker shorter cigars are not my fav. Would have prefered a smaller longer one or smaller shorter one. LOL

It all depends on your tastes. Personally I would go with cigar.com's CAO sampler for $40. I love CAO. Probably one of my favorite lines

I generally go for the 5-6 x 54 sizes. The first number being the length, the second number being the ring gauge.

For $10 that's one hell of a sampler.

Just finished the CAO cigar. . .I see why it's your Fav gripper.

While smoking it I thought I could taste nuts and a hint or either coffee or chocolate. I just checked their site, and it was a CAO Gold and it was "a smooth buttery flavor laced with vanilla, cream and nutmeg.. ."

so I was kind of able to taste the nutmeg and the vanilla or cream. Definately gonna have to pick up some more of these. I wanna say it was a 45 x 6 or x 7 (it was the length or my left 4 fingers plus about 3.5 more. LOL - a highly technical and accurate measurement system. )

 

[Gipper76]

I forgot about this thread, haha.

Yeah, CAO Gold's are good. If your looking for a more full-bodied cigar go for the CAO Brazilia. I'd say the Italia is in between the too and a very good smoke for an everyday thing.

had an hour to kill after work tonight in Arlington Heights, and I stopped in a tobacco shop. Picked up a proper ashtray (i've been using a cut open water bottle with a little bit of water in it)

Also picked up 2 CAO Gold's and an Acid Blondie. Smoked the blondie tonight. . .very sweet cigar. Not too sure on it though. I like the sweetness of it, but not sure i'd pick up up again, at least for a while anyways.

still gotta get through the other cigars in from my sampler first, but for a guaranteed good smoke I won't hesitate to go to the CAO gold.

=D

I've never had an Acid, but I've always been told to stay away from them. I recently picked up the newly released CAO America. Not to shabby. I don't think I would buy a lot of them, but it didn't let me down. I've never had any problems with any cigar from CAO, they seem to know what there doing
