Come in here dear boy, have a cigar. You're gonna go far!

(sorry, completely O/T, but it just sprung straight into my head)

I enjoy a nice cigar with some good drink and good friends. I'm not knowledgable on the subject, though. Maybe I need to join a cigar forum to learn from experts (as I do about guitars on this forum).

What would you like to know about cigars?

You can either ask here or send a PM.

I'm a cheap liqour store cigar aficionado, these are my favorite........

BP, I highly recommend Palm Desert Tobacco on El Paseo. I've known the owner Brian Bruning for years. He's a down to earth, knowledgeable and fun-loving man and stocks a variety of cigars and other tobacco products.

I don't smoke as much as I used to but love a medium to full robusto every now and then.

Randdracula, I used to love the drug store brand, Muriel Airtips, for a quicky.

Anyone ever try any of those online stores like Holt or Thompson (sp?)

I just started so I am looking for a smooth, semi-sweet cigar...smaller size, don't want a mule dick in my mouth...compatible with a martini type drink...the Cuban Honeys I have tried which are not bad. Suggestions...recommendations?

Man, that was hilarious. It reminds me when you see the b&w pics of Al Capone with that big ole nasty cigar hanging from the corner of his mouth

I will say, fatter ring gauge cigars yield a smoother, cooler smoke. (in general) On occasion, I've had a few that darn well give you lock jaw.

Back on subject:
Of all the things you could have asked, Sweet/flavored cigars are not my specialty. But, several of my good friends are in tobacco business (it comes in handy). I'll present the question and have you an answer.
Should have you some info around noon, shortly after, that being Thursday... eastern time.
