What really makes a good cigar is all subjective, the maroma maduros I have in my humi are cheap (25 for $45) and after some aging I couldnt complain one bit same thing with the famous hondurans. The Partagas black labels are my favorite cigar and a box of 20 of them is only $80, full flavored, extremly ripe, yet as smooth as a mild cigar.

Is there a local shop you get them at? Ive never seen them but I havent searched too hard either, they sound like a good middle of the road brand.

This is an A & B conversation, C your way out of it.

Dread and I have been enjoying cigars on the regualar. I have a little different taste than he does. I tend to prefer the aromatic/flavored cigars preferably the Drew Estates Acid line, but I also enjoy almost any mild normal cigar.

That last cigar I enjoyed was this no name hand rolled one i picked up from an old man rolling then in front of a cigar store on broadway. $8.50 and it burned clean and slow for a solid hour and a half

I havent had any Cohibas yet, Ive heard very mixed reviews. As for Cubans, word on the street is that they have been on the decline over the past 2 decades or so. And theres a lot of companies out there that have tried to duplicate them and many cigar reviewers feel that many of them have come very close, especially Siglos and Ortsacs. But I personally have never had a real cuban and that doesnt really bother me, especially considering how much you have to fork out to get your hands on them.

Drew Estate, the makers of acid and java have the construction aspect of cigars down to a T, but at times it seems it seems like they cant put together a really good cigar without infusing some sort of flavoring. But sometimes theres nothing wrong with that, especially since they do it by infusing the flavor into the leaves so you can get a nice tobacco flavoring with a hint of the infusion. Sometimes though they are just too over the top in my opinion.
