www.tampahumidor.com is a darn good place to order from. As far as a "best cigar" goes, I would try the R&J Churchill Reserve 7.0 x 54. My favorite, and I've tried and go thru a lot of cigars. The Habano's that I buy in some oveseas AP's are excellent choices, but in my opinion don't compare to the ones from the D.R. I don't think that I've gotten any fakes other than whats available at Baghdad IAP. Acid Kuba Kubas are decent if your looking for something different. CAO Gold Maduro are a good choice for medium smoke. Rocky Patel V 1992 are another great choice.

Can you describe in words what those taste like? I'm looking for something that has 'creamy buttery' taste myself, in medium or stronger.

Which one in particular are you asking about?
If you want a smooth cigar with the flavors that your asking about, I would suggest a CAO Gold Torpedo 6.0 x 52 with a good cup of coffee and a dollop of Bailey's irish creme. Best cigar and drink combo there is in my opinion.

I was thinking with a beer, but I bet you're right about a stick with some Bailey's irish creme

I've ordered from several on your list. I still like www.tampahumidor.com for the service and price. If you need a single, no problem, cutters, lighters, humidors ect, they have them.

I'm hoping Barak will weigh in on this thread. I saw him post some good info about 4 years ago, but have forgoten most everything he wrote. I'll alert him to it the next time I talk to him. He's currently off in another state working on a pretty time-intensive project for his employer. I'm not sure how much he's reading the Campfire right now. Penny

Me, I like a cigar that starts out mellow, and get spicy toward the middle thru the end. Plus, I dig the taste of a good Maduro wrapper. Any recommendations, I'm a member of Thompson's zCigar club, they send me all kinds of deals and offer's. Personally my daily Cigar is a rather cheap one, Paso Dobles with the maduro wrapper. Les

Find me a better ... robusto than a Epicure #2 Partagas Serie D No.4, not that I've ever indulged in such a thing.

Wife calls me a cheap azz when it comes to Cigars though, I only buy small bundles of the one I like,but have a 100 cigar humidor. Which is usually full of the Paso Bobles. Now if ya add Scotch to the Mix, I gotta have good stuff, Glenfidditch 18 year.

Les,
While I smoke all of the cigars on my list, Both of my humidors always contain these.
Montechristo #2 Torpedo (Habanos)
CAO Gold Torpedo
Acid Kuba Kuba
La Gloria Cubana Torpedo
Romeo Y Julieta Churchill (Habanos)
Can't go wrong with any of them. I buy the Habanos to give to associates back home, so they can impress their friends, not because I think they are the best smoke.

Wow !! Great list - thanks! Been using JRCigars for a number of years and have had great service. Generally smoke Don Tomas and La Gloria but have dabbled in various others.
Since I'm 'Semi-Retired' (which means I don't have a full time job but I'm too young to get SS!), I just wandered in from the hot tub where I had a cup of coffee with a cigar while soaking my 'troubles' away.

Had a bud try to get a box of habanos thru from canada last year, and had them confiscated by customs.

That's not the case. In fact it's even against the rules for a US citizen to sample the goods in other countries where they are legally sold.

Really, so why would the custom's inspector have told my wife that?
