New to CB love my cigars

[Goose]

Hi all,

I'm not a cigar professional but........

Love my smoke mostly out with the dog for his back woods sniffing or his occasional swim in the pond.
Also working around or on the house, cutting lawn or working on the cars or motorcycle.

I've tried a bit of everything when it comes to cigars and "usually" look for the bargains on big brands,
but over the years I've come to the conclusion of good cigars don't only come in big brands and from
time to time come across good cheap cigars and when I do I stock up. Living in the US I've had the
occasional illegal Cuban's i've picked up in Canada at crazy prices or directly from Cuba family have picked up for me
at much more reasonable prices.

I am a bargain hunter and my model is good for the price compared to the best.

I like mild/medium bodied cigars and frankly don't really care about shape so its all about the taste not the feel between
the fingers.

My latest ->

A few months ago I picked up as an experiment some Pinar del Rio's and
was quite surprised by the results. They had quite a nice taste after a week in the humidor,
burned well, not lightly packed and not too hard where the draw sucks.
Notably the price as right. Unfortunately they are no longer available for some reason.

Pinar del Rio Habano Sun Grown Toro (6" x 50)
Pinar del Rio Habano Oscuro Toro (6" x 50)
Pinar del Rio Habano Clasico Toro (6" x 50)
Pinar del Rio Habano Seleccion Toro (6" x 50)

Lastly side note, another weekday go to is Carlos Torano Noventa Santiago, a good smoke for the price as well.

None of the above are mind blowing so to speak BUT do a good job as a daily go to vs the top brands
at a more reasonable price while I look forward to the best on Friday / Saturday.

Welcome from Wyoming.

I have a long time friend who smokes tons of PDR's, and always sends me some in a bomb, birthday or Christmas gift, tag-along on a trade, etc.

They are pretty good smokes for the price, and all have been consistently well constructed and tasty.

I also somewhat recently discovered Toranos and love the Casa Torano, Vault Blend A-008, and Signature. Great smokes for the price. I have a box of each I'm slowly smoking on.

For another great $5 cigar try any of the Man O' War that CI carries. I'm definitely hooked on them all, and always have a sampler of them to get more variety, in my stash at all times

I friggin love cigars

Welcome Goose!

Welcome Goose.
As most cigar smokers say "smoke what you like"!
And in my experience, especially around here, you'll find a lot of gems that don't fall into the big brand category.
PDR is a fine line of cigars, sorry to see them discontinuing any of their lines.

Where are you getting your Carlos Torano Noventa Santiagos from? Everywhere I look has stopped carrying them as if they are discontinued, or shows out of stock.

Goose hasn’t been back on the Bum since his intro post. I guess he didn’t like the cut of our jib. Whatever that means.
