CIGARS 
updated 1-3-2009



Happy New Year and all that jazz...smoking cigars these days can take you broke.  Most of the good decent premium sticks are up in the $8, $9 and $10 range so for the guys who smoke 3 or 4 a day it gets kind of pricey.  The above picture is my buddy Carlos here in North Carolina.  I thought I knew everything about cigars until I met him, then I found out  I didn't know as much as I thought I did.  Carlos is a New York kid so he and I get along great.  It helps he's a Yankee and Giants fan too...Carlos will tell you if a stick is "smooth & creamy" or "sweet&spicey" or "earthy" or yada, yada, yada, the bottom line is if Carlos likes it, I probably will like it too, so.......starting this year I'll have him review one cigar a month and then let you make up your own mind...In the picture he's smoking a La Flor Dominicana "Salamon" (check the spelling) which was a giant smoke running a big ring towards the foot.  He loves it but the price is prohibitive-  $23.00 ouch!


Currently- my five favorite cigars are:

1.   Pepin Garcia--"My Father"
2.   La Flor Dominicana--Ligero L-250 (Oscuro Natural)
3.   Arturo Fuente - Anejo Maduro (comes out only at Christmas)
4.   Camacho--"11/18"
5.   Avo--"787"
