LBStotch Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Now, I have been smoking for quite a time, with CC's only as a rare treat. Man how the tables have turned. Aside from all the regular favourites, I am after some suggestions of a good cigar that gets missed by the masses. Im not going to say what flavour profiles I like, as this may limit what gets suggested, and I may miss the oppertunity to try something new. Only 1 rule. 1) I am not rich. I live a good life, but I dont have crazy money to spend, so keep that in mind. House payments first, cigars second. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tampa1257 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 MrStotch, 1. Before you post another post on this or any other thread, you should read and then re-read the following thread by the Forum Owner. http://www.friendsofhabanos.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=12 2. It is the newer members of FOH responsibility to become familiar with the current members of the Forum. Ken is a Trusted Moderator of the Forum and posting a disrespectful post as you did to a member shows bad form, yet you blow right past that and have a go with a moderator. In my opinion Ken is owed an apology. While we may have a go with each other about fishing ability, etc. It is because we know him from years of interaction. 3. It is also common knowledge that many of us spend more than we want to because of our love for the flavor and taste of a Cuban Cigar, so Ken's response to you was quite normal. 4. The vast majority of this forum is self moderation. One of Rob's rules is "No Tossers and No Wankers", please keep that in mind. Tampa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kangaroo495 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'd recommend an El Rey del Mundo - Grandes de Espagna. Or Rafael Gonzales CE. But you have to be lucky with the quality of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellery Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Wow...interesting thread. I suggest reading some of the review, and going to czar website. Look at what you can afford, and buy a box, thats what I do. Sometimes, I pick up a sampler. Since you haven't mentioned your flavor profile, its kinda hard to "pick" one type of cigar.

jwm8592 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 "johnqsample" your response is most entertaining, thanks. I mean I literally shot water thru my nose after reading. Wow, that's quite a heavy introduction for a Friday morning, Mr. Scotch. Maybe some good scotch might be required. My recommendation would be Bolivar Inmensas, alas its not spoken about often because they are hard to find, but if you can it would be worth it.

thechenman Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Mr. Scotch... Do drop Ken a line...it was all in good humor. You will find over time that FOH - through the efforts of our host, moderators and members - has a vibe that is different from other forums. That is one of the reasons many of us gather here. Members are good natured and can at times be sarcastic (but all in a good natured kind of way). Sure we do disagree on occassion, but the disagreement is with the argument or topic at hand, we are never critical of the person. Hope you will stick around and take the time to get to know us. My opinions for a budget daily smoke would be Fonseca, Rafael Gonzalez and Por Larranaga. Pick your poison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van55 Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm not inclined to give you a recommendation, MrStotch, due to your insulting and inappropriate reaction to Ken's clearly humorous post. I think I saw a sense of humor listed on EBay. You might make a bid. Ken has graciously, and in my opinion, unnecessarily apologized to you. I suggest that you man up and extend your apology to him. Many of us spend far too much of our expendable income (and some that is not quite so expendable) on cigars. If I were you, I would simply have asked for recommendations as to what to try and then made up my own mind in private whether the prices of the recommended cigars were within my means.
