Thin2win Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 ETA is this week. Never have I tried one of these cancer sticks, BUT having my first kid I think warrants such an event. Given that I have no smoking experience at all... Which single cigar should I hunt down for this moment?

JAGolfore Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 That's a good choice, and there are a few questions to be asked. Do you want something smooth that will not have any bite or are you looking for something to knock your socks off? Lots of good options and will you be the only one celebrating or will you be with a group of family? Congratulations by the way. They grow up fast.

tommc23 Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Congrats on the kid. The cigar that got me hooked is something sweet and was super easy to smoke. I know some guys here when new did not like them but I will suggest Drew Estates Acid Kuba Kuba. Link to comment

Not a cigar smoker, but when I did I loved Philly sweets.......not big or small, brandy and sweet flavour, not strong. The most expensive cigar I had had me dry wretching after a few draws.........

Kenny B Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Congratulations!! I am not a cigar smoker either, but I had some Cuban cigars when I traveled to Russia for 10 years. They were very nice! H.Upmann was great! Also, Montecristo. “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment

I would echo those who are saying go smooth - a mild cigar with a light colored (Connecticut) wrapper. Rocky Patel Vintage 1993 is a nice, moderately priced, stick that fits this bill.

For a good cigar that is not going to break the bank try Drew Estates factory cigar in the aforementioned wrapper it's a great smoke that runs 4 bucks per cigar. Link to comment

revkev Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Thanks! And thanks to everyone else. This is more exciting then getting a new driver. Well, mostly. Nice choice of cigars - you will love them. I had my first cigar at the birth of a grandchild who is named after me. I love them, in moderation. My love for him knows know limit. He did my SuoerSpeed workout with me yesterday.
