There are plenty of excellent cigars that aren't made in Cuba. I doubt Cuba really makes the best and I don't think I'll change what I smoke when the old bastard croaks.
I had an Opus X two years ago and smoked it too fast. I ended up begging God to let me live. I had been smoking Macanudo Gold Label Duke of Yorks at the time, very mild but good.
I guess one of the few good things about living in a town as big as Fort Worth, is there is a lot of good tobacco shops here.
The Fuente Anejos which are only available at Christmastime have the Opus binder and filler with a wrapper, you should try one of them some time.
It was kind of a surreal experience knowing that it cost about five bucks a puff.
I'm lucky to have near me a PR gentleman that sells only what he rolls. Pretty good and not too expensive.
Nice! Gonna smoke a Short Story myself this evening. Great smoke. Nice enough smoke to get your fix but not too long of a smoke to get bored.
I thought this was a Bubba/Monica thread

LMFAO!
Lone Wolf was a good smoke. Co-owned by Chuck Norris and Jim Belushi if I recall, but I don't think they sell them anymore. May be wrong.
Can't go wrong with Fuente. :)
I hate seeing chicks smoke cigars. It just ain't right.
For some reason, I have NEVER liked the Padrons (even the 1964 or 1926 Anniversarys).
Opus X are good but Padron Anniversario Maduro are better IMHO. You can get very good cigars though without looking for the high-dollar ones. Cubans are good too but when you have smoked enough of them you come to realise they are not *that* much better and the quality can be a little uneven.
Anybody want my Artur Fuente's?
I was just diagnosed w Squamous Cell Neck Cancer and the Doc thinks I should quit.
OMG, I'm so sorry.
Thanks for the info, but I don't smoke that many; just a few a year. The one tomorrow will likely be my last until Spring. It's one of those enjoyments that stays fresh because of the rarity.
If you like Cubans, get the Partagas Serie D No. 4 or the Montecristo No. 2, I've never had a bad one of either of them. Stay away from the Cuban Cohibas, they are way overpriced for what you are getting IMO.
Ahh Cigars, I would love to see more of this on FR, just to take a break from all the hate and destruction before the election.
Time to smoke a nice Gurkha, these are great cigars BTW. Cigar Dave is one of my heros, wish I could listen to him more regularly.
I agree about partagas and montecristo. Montecristos especially are very consistent.
