cubans!

don't inhale though

Answer 3

Cigars are like wine...each person likes different flavors.

Nicaraguan tobacco has a sweeter flavor. Dominican tobac is fuller flavored. You'll have to try different ones and discover which you like. Always cut a cigar above the cap. The cap is a small round piece of tobacco that secures the wrapper in place. You want all the leaf inside exposed but you don't want to cut off the cap or the wrapper will unravel.

I like Padron Annaversary cigars but they're expensive. Try a Rocky Patel Missle, great handmade smoke, mild and flavorful.

cheers

Answer 4

Its all about your tastes and expense.  I have had very good, inexpensive cigars and very bad, expensive cigars.  Not to plug a website or anything, but go to JRCigar.com.  They not only sell cigars, but on the side banner, they have something called "JR University".  This will answer all sorts of questions for you.  Also, this is where I order ALL my cigars from.  You will find they have the best prices, hands down, and one of the widest varieties available.  

I'm currently on the kick of CAO Brazilia's (Gol!) and Partigas Black (Piramide).  

Try to order some sampler assortments or swing by your local tobacconist and ask for his/her recommendations.

Most of all...DONT STRESS ABOUT IT...Cigar smoking is just as much about the enjoyment of the process as it is about the smoking the cigar itself...Have fun!
