      I haven't smoked cigars in a long time, and then only an occasional (cheap) after-dinner stogie, but I am enjoying reading this.

              Veal cigars are nasty. Maybe that is why you think cigar smoking is disgusting?

                Did I say it was disgusting? I don't remember. I like the smell of a cigar, but could never smoke one. (I had very bad allergies as a kid......I've never even tried a cigarette....I think one would kill me.)

                  It doesn't matter. The joke wouldn't work as well.

                    Thanks for the update, Gregg!

                    Outside of Diesel's, I really like just about anything Alec Bradley puts out.

                      I forgot about the Diesels. I am going to Harry's Cigars on Wednesday. I will see if they carry them.

                        GwynInTheHall mentioned Partagas Black Label in another thread. Sometime this week I will be sampling Partagas Black Label Maximo Sun Grown Toro. Very much looking forward to it.

                        My personal favorite and go to cigar is The La Gloria Cubana Serie R Esteli. It is consistent, full bodied, and fairly priced.
                        This is what it says:

                        La Gloria Cubana = This highly celebrated brand does a few things right, like putting out blends that are full, rich, creamy and strong. In essence, they’re everything you want a cigar to be, and nothing that you don’t want a cigar to be. It really is that simple.

                        E.P. Carrillo, the face behind the name, is a master of his craft. When it comes to full-bodied, well-constructed cigars, nobody does it better, and that’s why the fans absolutely love it and can’t stop coming back for more. A delicious balance of Brazilian, Dominican, Mexican, and Nicaraguan filler leaves are lovingly swaddled inside a dark, sultry Ecuadorian wrapper, or a perfect brown Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper. What you’re left with is something worth getting excited over.

                        This is accurate for my tastes. I like to try different things, but always come back to this. I pay 8.95-10.95 well worth it.

                        I do have one I like better but that is $24.05 out the door so I limit that to about once a month.

                          They did have them.

                          My first impression was that it is medium bodied and a bit spicy for my tastes, but the spice settled down nicely. It smoked evenly and I enjoyed it enough to smoke it down to about an inch. Started getting very warm. Nice stick!

                                with normalizing relations with Cuba, are Cuban cigars making it to the US? I saw them advertised all over London
