Cigars have the best flavors and aromas that tobacco can present.

 

if you dont like cigars, it's probably becos you prefer cigareetes or you dont like smoking altogether.

 

Cigar smoking is also a form of acquired taste and hobby, so i dont think you have smoked enuff cigars to say you dont like them.

 

I would suggest you try some good cigars again....

i dont think thats a hobby i wanna get involved in..

 

just looking for opinions for pipe smoking cos it uses the loose tobacco leaves as those roll-it-yourself ciggies..

 

cigars..have to sit down at a place which allows smoking for 1 hour or more..where got time??

smoking cigar is for us to relax after a hard day or works, if you dont even have an hour for yourself to rest, then cigar is not suyitable for you... :smile:

[Sev]

Intro of Ramon Allones Specially Selected

 

"A full bodied cigar. It smokes beautifully, and it has a smooth palate of flavors including a spicy earthiness and a hint of toasted nuts and a sweet, cedar finish.

 

Size: 5" x 50

Strength: Medium "

where can i get this cigar and roughly how much issit? size 50, it is a robusto size...

[Throttle]

Yes, it's a robusto...

 

Can get from Oaks $28 or me........

 

 

Monte 'A' is not so expensive about $75 each only.

EUR625 is probably by the box...

[Sev]

Got some info from http://www.cigarchief.com , the Ramon Allones is categorized as 'Full Flavored'... still condsider light medium? Compare Hoyo Epicure No 2 with Ramon Allones Specially Selected, which one is lighter?

[Nightstalker]

i smoked the ramon small clubs i bought from oaks last wk. quite mild and pleasant. it seemed to me it was a little spicy in the beginnin and towards the end of my smoke. waitin to try my monte 4 and compare the diff....

[Throttle]

The siglo series is a different line of Cohiba that was added. - that's all.

Now there is Siglo VI (remember i smoked that at pitstop?)

And also Sublimes Edicion Limitada (very big and fat)

[Throttle]

Since 1980, the Trinidad Fundadores has been produced exclusively for Fidel Castro. The only boxes that left Cuba were gifts to foreign diplomats. On February of 1998, the brand was officially launched as an export in Trinidad, Cuba. The cigars were first made available in Canada and Mexico in April 1998, and later became available to the world market. This line features one size, the Fundadore, which means Founder. It is similar in size to the Cohiba Lancero, measuring at a ring guage of 40 and a length of 7 and 3/4 inches or 195 mm.

Named after one of Cuba's most beautiful cities, the Trinidad is produced only in the El Laguito factory, and packaged in an 'unusual' quantity of 24 cigars as well as in cabinets of 50.

 

Back to the Ramon Specially Selected. Do not mistake flavor for body or strength.

it is still medium strength at most just like the epi2. Stronger cigars would include bolivar Royal corona, Partagas Serie Ds, and perhaps Cuaba Salomones.

 

difference between Specially Selected and Epi2 is the flavor. Ramon is nuttier and more leathery, while hoyos can be sweeter and more floral

there are lots of things to learn about cigar!

[Throttle]

a partagas serie D no. 4 and a diplomaticos No.2 for a saturday nite.....smooth

[Nightstalker]

i dun have a humidor. was wonderin how long can i store a cigar? i cant keep it in an air-con room rite? im still keepin the one i bought 2 wks ago in the ziplock bag...

[Throttle]

you CAN keep it in an aircon room....as long as you keep it in an airtight bag.

 

but you must keep your aircon on all the time so that the change in temperature is not too wide. heh heh

 

as long as it does not dry up and crack, should be fine.

 

anyway, why keep so long, just smoke it.

 

i'm smoking a monte Edmundo right now! hoho

[Intruder]

Next week??? Not Tuesday for me. Can find me a small patch of green pasture too? :cheeky

 

BTW i must say paiseh to Shortie for the last minute changes...dann flickle minded me. But i would those you have sold me are good..Cos now rather tight in spending so i only can choose 1 to burn up. Your's are good choice! But i only can allow me to fire up one first... how good if i can get your's and other makes at the same time then smoke slowly while keeping the rest in stock. But i will still come after your's if you have not enjoy em yourself in later date. Thanks pal. :

[Throttle]

this thur? sounds great to me. plannin to smoke one tonite. guess i'd have to buy more again this wed. maybe i'll get a lighter too

[Intruder]

:hungry: I was actually looking for those size of MonteCristo no.5. Small enough for short time smoking. The bigger may only be saved during night time when great time to rest and relax one corner.

 

Any good small little one like the M. Cristo no. 5?

 

BTW, saw the one at M. Sultan last week, nvr go in. The shop caught my attention when ppl outside start to let go the fragrance of cigar.... yummy!
