    Comatose - Thanks

    Lied2NoMore - Thanks. I had been doing research on technique for a while now. I will get it right eventually. I took a couple tries to get it right yesterday.

    Ravens - Your no fun. GO BRONCOS!

    I have loved the smell of cigars being smoked ever since I can remember. I smoked ciggies for about 5 years in my teens, and I tried a few cigars in that time, loved 'em.

    I will treat myself to one again soon. Mrs Phizzy lives in mortal fear that I will get hooked on 'baccy again, but I don't think one huge cigar once in a while is likely to do that to me.

    i was a heavy smoker for years--till i had a heart attack aged 49--so i cant recommend it--for health reasons.

    but i guess you need to try it for yourself---like sex i suppose. either will probably make you throw up the first time you try it.

    I like to keep a few in a small humidor during the summer months - probably have one once a month or so with a nice glass of scotch out on the back deck during warm weather. I've never been a smoker, but a fine cigar can be a truly enjoyable experience.

    dbnc - my personal favorites have been by Cohiba, Arturo Fuente, Oliva, and Padron. Enjoy your camping trip!

    Padron was excellent.

    I'm with Zoiks on the Cohiba. Perdomo, Partagas. Generally, you won't find a great smoke for cheap. If you do, buy a few and stock up! I started sneaking one in maybe every other week several years ago, so since it's such a treat, I want to be sure I enjoy my "private pleasure."

    that's the other thing. If it becomes a habit, or even too regular, for me, some of the pleasure is lost. Not to mention the expense.

    My faves are Rocky Patel Edge Lites:

    Make sure you have a good guillotine cigar cutter:

    Don't cut off too much. You'll want to get a very hot lighter too!

    Enjoy!

    Stillin - I think if i find one or 2 that I like I will buy them online. They are a lot cheaper if i buy in bulk. The Cusano M1 was about 50% less online than the single I bought at the shop.

    Don't cut off too much. You'll want to get a very hot lighter too!

    check and check!

    Zoiks - I will probably invest in a humidor eventually. This is going to be a really enjoyable spring/summer...for me, not Mrs Dazed... Just enjoyed the remainder of the M1.

    Mrs Phizzy lives in mortal fear that I will get hooked on 'baccy again, but I don't think one huge cigar once in a while is likely to do that to me.

    Mrs Dazed feels similar
