certainly the monte V or the partagas series S after diner with a cappuccino is by far the best. second best is the first of the day, a relight of the cigar i left in the ash tray the night before. nice and crisp, with a chunk of charcol on the foot and the newly dried part that i chewed on the night before. like finding out your friend slept over.

U R 2 much,LOL,However I disagree on cigars. 1st of the day,4 me is in the early afternoon,is an El Rico Habano Club W/a glass of Young's Dbl Choc Stout. In the evening,a Bolivar Fuerte Delmonico W/ a glass of my fav scotch. X

Early cigars are a previously unbanded cigar that now goes by the name Don Felo. Small smoke with lots of smooth toasted nut flavor and lots of smoke. Also enjoy a nicaraguan robusto with a connecticut shade wrapper. Very interesting combo. After dinner I have been having the Baccarat Churchill or Beli in Maduro (which is almost oscuro). They have been a nice change of pace. Very woody, mellow with a nice sweetness. Bought one on a whim and now I'm hooked. I also like the Onyx Reserve Robusto, Romeo y Julieta Churchill and almost anything from Villazon.

Thats a tough one since I smoke different cigars most days. (I usually only have two a day unless I am down at the beach).

One that I turn to time and time again is the Partagas #10 Churchill. However, I am currently trying one of these Padron Maduro Churchills I got on auction here in a five pack.

A little bitter to start, but I am liking the way it is morphing as I smoke it down. I still think I like my #10s better, but we shall see. :o)

I am washing it down with a pint of Boddington's Pub Ale in the Draught Flow can, poured into an English style pint glass of course! :o)

Rick, I have a couple La Finca chuchies I got in a trade. Should I smoke them?

...my favorite morning cigar is any Partagas, especially a maduro, smoked with a cup of strong coffee. I've dropped back to two a day...on wife's orders...and break out the better smokes on the weekend. Enjoyed a Arturto Fuente Hemingway by the pool this afternoon with a Modela Negra...and you wonder why sugar cane and tobacco grow in the same countries.

eleltea---whatis a chuchy or chuchie? as i recall they made a 3 X 60, is that it?

mhollowa ---there it is again: "wife's orders"

Two of my favorite first cigars of the day are CAO Anni's in Cameroon(any) and the CAO Gold Robusto.Evenings,I like Padron Anni's in Natural,Hoyo de Monterey Epicure #2 or anything full bodied and/or full flavored.

Rick...yeah, I'm a lucky guy.

Rick, you know what our problem is? Neither of us can possibly know when the other is being serious. Of course, we may have OTHER problems . . .

When I wrote churchie I only meant churchill. If there is a cigar size called churchie, I never heard of it. Sort of like writing maddie for maduro, robbie for robusto, figgie for figurado, or Billy for ex-President Adam Henry.

Oh, I see I wrote chuchie, not chuRchie. Kindly ignore all of my posts.

eleltea i might have known a churchie, but you said chuchie, you forgot your arse.---i say smoke em. i still have about 250 left from the last bargin sale and i will enjoy each and every one. they are in my clear plastic sweaterbox humidor that i keep in the bathroom on top of the shirt dresser, and i can see them every time i, you know.

Rick,Buy the time U get to em,they should be marinated 2 perfection. LOL X

Would that be how Lar's 'seasons' his cigars?

Rick, please don't send me any of those. I'll just smoke these two. lmao

Rick I understand you are the guy to go to on suggestions and thoughts about a cabinet humidor. would appreciate your input

maggiepond ---sorry, wrong guy. note above i use a plastic sweater box.

Hard to pick two favorites for any one day, but if I had to here goes: Midmorning a LaGloria Cubana Serie R and evening a Montecristo #2 ISOM (No I do not have a supply of them, this is a "nice too" post) but I also have an afternooner and that would vary according to mood, etc!!! Fun to dream! Charlie

I like nooners 2. X
