I`m rather fond of cohiba monika corona cigars. preserved in a rather unusal humidor, those things are sometimes so damm moist it`s difficult to light them. But boys- the aroma-the sweet aroma.

My late, great Uncle George up in Harrogate (Yorkshire, T'North) used to live on a diet of Bolivar No. 2s.
Aunty Ginny (Named for the way she smells) still lights one up from time to time, not to smoke but in the nature of a Trad Joss stick.


We all miss big bad George.

Next you'll be Craiging them.

It's a slippery slope.

best I've dealt with is www.cuesta-rey.nl

Top notch, and when I lived in Holland I would buy my cigars from the shop there.  Good service, good prices, good selection.  Ilja is a good man.

The mid-90s ruined a lot of formerly esoteric pursuits--cigars, wine, vintage watches. I blame those lifestyle magazines that became popular, like Cigar Aficionado and Wine Spectator.

I've read reports that pipes are "healthier" for you.

I havent had a cigar in a while and feel it's high time. The only problem in NYC is the only places to have one is where all the other cigar lovers go and that makes for some serious gas house effect.
