Hey folks - has anyone here had an experience with a good butt kicking cigar w/o inhaling the smoke.

If so, please provide the name of it.

Although I don't inhale, I do prefer a strong, robust smoke.

Joya de Nicaraugas. This will kick anybodys butt.

I did find the CAO eXtreme I received from C-Bid to be fairly robust - and very enjoyable.

Did not put me on my knees though.

Gotta agree with Charlie. Every time I smoke a JDNA, my head swims for a 1/2 hour or so. Especially the Belicoso.

Cusano Corojo Toro - Great smoke and a very enjoyable smoking experience - I was very happy (while smoking it). Then I finished and needed to sit down for the next 30 minutes. There's nothing quite like that 'I'm sweaty all over and I need my mommy' kind of feeling. I'd still smoke another one, but never again on an empty stomach. Apparently 'Corojo' and 'empty stomach' don't go together very well.....

Partagas Black Label did it to me the first time i smoked it...not anymore though...

I agree with JMV. The CAO Extremes give me a buzz.

El Rico Habano. X

Actually, my third cigar ever (just about five weeks ago) - a Punch Rare Corojo, put me on my ass.

Had it with a drink BEFORE dinner. Next time, after dinner.

I don't know if I want anything that strong. Oh and mentioning the competitors website is a definite NoNo here. I feel a "yank" or and "edit" coming on.

Yeah, should have used some good old fashioned common sense on that one.

Editors, please yank my previous message immediately.

Oops....lets see if you get yanked or slim slapped first.

I think he'll just get a warning this time. He didn't post a link or start talking prices. I think he wants to be one of us.. even going to the herf in PA.

I just emailed C-bid to let them know about my mistake.

And, just to help things out a bit more, I placed a cigar bid.

In addition to many of those already mentioned, another one that never fails to leave me gasping a bit is the Occidental Havana Sun-Grown. For some strange reason, this one is often described as a mild-medium bodied smoke; you might as well call red blue, IMO. You can feel the strength of this one in the first puff. In fact, it hits me much harder than many of the more famous full-bodied smokes (JDNA is obviously an exception 🙂 ). Anyway, this one ages beautifully, has a wonderful smooth flavor, and kicks like a mule. Worth a try.

As Charlie has stated the Joya de Nicaraguas are one big a$$ kicking cigars. If you really want a good buzz smoke about 3 of them quickly along with drinking a lot of beer while playing golf on a sunny warm day (over 95). Your golf game may go to sh*t but you will definately get the buzz you are looking for!

LOL!

p.s. - The course marshall will probably insist that your partner drive the cart!!

If you do drive the cart, keep away from all hazards....LMAO
