What brand cigar do you enjoy?

I've smoked a small amount of cigars in my lifetime but never really learned anything from it. I want to see which cigars others enjoy and why.

Today I actually went to a cigar bar and bought a few cigars. Got a cutter too for $10. Total spend was about $35.

Cao mx2
Macanudo
Arturo Fuente

I also stopped by BevMo and picked up a bottle scotch $35. I drink scotch on the rocks atleast once or twice a week. Usually one of the Glens or McCallahn. I try to stick within the $35-55 a bottle range. Also since I was right next door to Smart & Final bought a bottle of Cappola Merlot, Cappola Cab and St.Francis Cab.

The macanudo and Artuor Fuentes are not bad smokes. If you get a chance check out 5 Vegas cigars, they are about $5-10 and not a bad smoke at all.

I'm a little more of a stickler for my cigars. I don't just strictly smoke Cubans, but most of the favorites I have are Cuban or of Cuban descent (Dominican, Nicaraguan filler etc.).

Cohiba
Montecristo
Partagas
Punch
Romeo Y Julieta
Trinidad

then there's the others:

Davidoff
Dunhill
Padilla

Occasionally I'll smoke a cigarillo like Gurkha Cognac's or CAO Bella Vanilla's or one of their other flavors. They're a good short smoke for when time is slim, but your craving is not.

I also like cloves. My favorite being Djarum Blacks, Supers, and Vanillas.

Pres:

If you like cloves you should try and get some 234s from Indo. They are pronounced Jisamsu or something like that, hand rolled cloves that look like a doobie... hahah what a good smoke.

I mainly smoke CAO Cameroon torpedo ,but when I want to splurge and really have a great smoke I go with Fuente OPUS X..The Opus X is very medium bodied and very smooth with very little after taste, but it comes at a price about $22-26 a piece..But it worth the money if your a cigar smoker..
