Took down the snowfence this morning, spring is officially here in WI (even though they're talking about freezing rain tonight).

I smoked a Drew Estate Factory Smokes Sun Grown Churchill while taking care of this task. Realized this is pretty much the only yardgar I have in my humidor at the moment and I only have 7 of them left... these sticks are just about perfect in my book to smoke while working in the yard. Good flavor, good construction and cheap enough that you don't gotta worry about it if you have to let em go 1/2 smoked. I'll probably pick more of these up, but I like variety and options. So what's your favorite yardgar?

My mother doesn't let me smoke yardgars.

Maduro- maybe the Nica Libre toros. You can get 5 packs for $7 or $7.50. I would consider them yardgars because of the price, but I like them, will happily smoke one every once and a while for my nightly cigar and be content.

Natural - I like 5 Vegas torpedos. Same thoughts. Cheap price, but I'm ok smoking one generally.

Grabbed a few of these in 5ers and boxes (corona or robusto) last fall so they could rest over the winter. They both can be found pretty readily and pretty cheap.

I just took another gamble on Nicaraguan 3000’s again......last bundle I got weren’t great but to be fair these used to be THE best bundle available. For $38 meh why not.....

I’ll let y’all know, I’m not a Platinum Member™️ there so I don’t get free overnight shipping and sexy notes from Shana.

Done a lot of the MoW Puro Authenticos. I'll smoke either size, but more coronas than belis

Same thoughts as Bucky but mine are

Shadow King by AJ Fernandez

Pantheon Infernos also an AJ blend but seems to be discontinued now that I look for it

other than that I have MB3s and stuff like that I wouldn't say are just yard gars but may fit into the category

CAO Brazillia.

I shouldn't call them yard gars as I smoke them pretty regularly, but if I have to put one down halfway through, I don't even give it a second thought.

As for me, I stopped smoking cigars while doing yard work or mindless tasks. I clinch too hard on them while weed whacking, which causes me to drool too much. And I like my mindless tasks to be mindless and not have to worry about keeping a stogie lit or ashed before it ashes on me. 🤦

I’m the yard gar king.

I like oliva saison. Originals. Torpedo seems to be my fav. 2$

Gilberto oliva Dior 2$

Some hate them gran habano 2002 2$ Only the robusto

La perla black pearl morado. Little harsh. I want that at times 2$

Nica libre. Under 2

Don Rafael Nicaragua under 2. Smell great. Golf course stick

Oliva o and master blends. I would pay much more for. But 3$

Honestly those are just off the top of my head. I have those around on hand.

I smoke those as my daily’s. Weekends I smoke a little better.

Snake speaks the truth, he is the king of the good budget smoke. Second the Olivia saison. I enjoy the Perdomo slow aged 826 SG. Got them for 1.25 a stick here.

I won't lie, I like it more than I should probably admit, and smoke it regularly, but at $2-$3 per stick, if it fall into the hooker's arse crack and I gotta toss it, so be it.

And while I am being honest, I don't smoke cigars while doing yard work, but I do smoke them while working on my dayjob at night in the backyard after the kids go down. I often forget to smoke the cigar right next to me as I hammer away on the laptop, so so my "working" cigars tend to go out often and get left half smoked... Brazilia is perfect for this.

I can almost hear the CBID prices of the cigars discussed going up. Happens every time good things are said on the forum.

Chit! People actually read this?!?

The true heroes of the yardgar world are Fighting C0ck, Frank's Way, and of course the myriad of premium choices offered by Gurkha
