So I decided not long ago that I wanted to get into a cigar here and there. In one of my field and streams there was a deal for a 10 sample and a humidor (40 count) for $29.00 so i ordered one.

Should be here this week. Any cigar guys here? I imagine there MUST be lol

Subscribed! I'm in the same boat. I love a cigar now and then, but I usually depend on my buddies to make the selections because I don't know enough about it to make good choices, yet.

I'm really looking forward to getting an outdoor rig set up in the spring and having brew time be cigar time too.

My biggest hurdle right now is SWMBO, she's preggo and not a fan of this idea at all lol.

Bolivar Cofradia, use to just be Bolivar Fuentes, you can find them on jrcigar.com They are awesome IMHO. Maybe a little strong if you're new to cigar smoking, so you might want to try out the plain Bolivar.

Bolivar Cofradia:
"ORIGIN: Honduras
WRAPPER: Connecticut Broadleaf/Ecuador Sumatra
BINDER: Connecticut
FILLER: Honduras/Nicaragua
STRENGTH: Full

Originally created by the legendary Estelo Padrón, the Bolivar Cofradia is a bold, robust smoke with heavy flavors of earth and spice. This rich blend of some of the world's finest hearty tobaccos makes for a full-bodied, intoxicating cigar with a decadent flavor, heady aroma, and intense finish. Packed in heavy Spanish-cedar cabinets, this one is geared toward the more experienced connoisseur."

They are a great smoke. I've smoked the legendary Havana cigars, MonteChristo, Partagas, etc. The Bolivars are just as good if not better. YMMV

I smoked a Padron a couple weeks ago while brewing a Vienna Lager. It paired very nicely.

Been a cigar lunatic for years.. I used to work at a local shop while studying in Universtiy, and I attend the big smoke almost every year in Vegas.

So the package came in the mail today. 12 cigars in total, boxes of matches, and a pretty nice looking humidor. Can't wait to try one of these

Make sure you read up on seasoning the humidor before using it. I recomend getting a good cutter and stick with wooden matches or a quality butane lighter. If youre looking for other brands check out anything from Drew Estate or CAO. Those are my favorite.

Yea i read the humidor book and started all that.

Is it true you don't inhale into your lungs, only your mouth?

You can try both ways and see which you prefer
