Hey guys...... I've been looking for a cigar that packs a lot of spice... not just pepper but a "spicy" cigar that kinda makes you lick your lips a bit..... if you can get my meaning. I'm not sure... its a bit hard to describe. As far as I've had the Bolivar Fuerte's jinda fit.... I've had a LGC Serie R that wasn't bad...... are the Fuente Sungrown's the cigar I'm searching for???? HELP PLEASE! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

There are many BigTony.The Partagas Black label will definitely fill the bill.

Try anything with a 'Sun-Grown' wrapper. They seem to be doing the trick for me lately ...

Definitely yes on VSG. Ditto on Oliva O. Try a Camacho Corojo, but not during the day.

To me "spicy" means having some hints of cinnamon, allspice etc. As if some condiments from your Indian spicerack were added. Try these:
CAO Brazilia
Cuban Parejo
Indian Tabac Teepee
The Cigar by Nick Perdomo
Habano Gold Sterling
Thomas Hinds Honduran Selection
The last two are not well respected on this board but the prices are good and they seem to be what you want

If Tandem is to be taken at his word, spices, cinnamon, etc., then the answer is Acid (the cigar, not the droplet on a sugar cube). Probably Tetens, too, but I never smoked a Tetens.

Ever try sucking on a bottle of Chipottle peppers while smoking a Tampa..........may get that spicy feeling! No.....really in all honesty I smoked a cigar once that I can not remember what it was but it was spicy....when I remember will let you know.

Thanks for the great suggestions guys! I think my next purchase will include a few Partagas Black (maybe a box.... who knows) and possibly a box of Chateau Fuente Sungrown. As far as the "Acid" cigars being spicy.... well I guess so, but they aren't what I'm looking for... I've smoked a few and enjoyed them for what they were... a FLAVORED cigar... but I think that the suggestions for thew Partagas Black... LGC Serie R and the sungrown stuff may be more what I'm looking for.
Thanks again guys...... Tony

Not the LPH classic toros though. I know that they are well liked. Decent cigar, but if you like spicy, they are a bit flat.

Ashton VSG is spice in spades, but expensive. A cheap spicy cigar is any of the Diesel line.

Henry Clay Brevas Conservas, or a Toro (it has to have a Braodleaf Maduro wrapper)...None of these come in cello (hold the obvious jokes boys..LOL)...None of those H2000 wrappers in cello...Those are crap (IMHO of course)...ThESE Henry Clays (or as I affectionately refer to them as, "Hanks") are definitely spicy!!...I love em!

Henry Crap Brevas are for women who do macrame. Im tellng you, the Camacho Corojo is the smoke you are dreaming of.

For some reason a guy named Big Tony doesn't sound like someone who should worry about her finding out about a bunch of new cigars, but use this line, "I hit the jackpot on a cigar bid board quiz and won all of these nice new cigars"!!!!!!!!! And the Henry Clays came without the cello, as did the Excaliburs, so you do not have to worry about "on" or "off"...speaks highly of those two to begin with! Charlie

Yo, Tony. Give the Ambrosia sampler a try. Unfortunately, they're pricey as well as spicey.

Or as I tell my wife, "You wouldn't believe these guys on the internet. They must have all kinds of cigars and more money than they have sense, just look at these free cigars this guy sent me."

Of course she looks at me a little doubtful but if you keep up the pretense it starts to work after a while.

Big T, always remember Rudyard: "A woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke." Also, to paraphrase the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers, "Cigars will get you thru times of no money better than money will get you thru times of no cigars."

Yes, anything with a sun-grown wrapper will do especially some of the "name brands" or more well-known brands as the quality of wrapper is usually older and of better quality. Also try the Camacho Diploma if you can find it; the diplomas only come in one size..a hefty robusto and the regular Camacho line simply does not compare to this more upscale higher quality Camacho (I've got a box resting...). Also, I found some Sancho Panzas to be a little spicy if given enough humitime; The Fuente Chateau Sun-Grown is nice to along with of course your expensive VSGs, Padron '64s, etc.

Big Tony:try the Bolivar Fuerte Delmonico. It has more spice than one can handle. If you like spicy, not peppery, then try the 5 Vegas. I bought a 5 pack, and they were very aged when I got them and they had some very nice cinnamon and nutmeg flavours. I just got a box that wasn't quite as well aged, and they had similar flavours that weren't quite as well developed so I put them away until next year.

While I like the Thomas Hinds' Honduran Selection, the Hamilton's House (yeah, I know...they were cheap, I had to try them) seemed spicier to me. DH

Hey Rick... you sent me some big beautiful Cusanos (which have been resting in my humi since I got 'em--- Thank you again!). I plan on smoking a few this weekend after the Christening of my niece. I'll be taking 2 with me on my flight back to New Jersey (where my family is)and when I get back on tuesday I'll send you a message.
Many thanks,....... Tony
