Cigars
Still the reigning king - for me - is the Hoyo Dark Sumatra, toro, about 6x54.
I tried something different Sunday - the 94 rated Oliva Series V. It was ok, for $6, but in no way wort a 94 rating.
Have you tried anything new and great recently?

Re: Cigars
Great to see this thread reborn.
I'm heading to Key West in a few weeks. Does anyone have any suggestions for a "local" cigar to try down there? Paying good money for a bad cigar is a drag (pun intended!).

Re: Cigars
That was an excellent pun. I don't know from Key West cigars, but a friend of mine found a shop that rolled 'em right in front of you using local tobaccos, might be worth looking into.
Swisher sweets? Gads.

Re: Cigars
Thanks, Dave. I'll be checking the local shops for sure. And I can't comment on the Swisher's as I'm looking at a pack of Backwoods on my desk right now!

Re: Cigars
my grandfather smoked the swishers and he would let me smoke them to help keep bugs away. I have many fond memories of him and this topic reminded me of them. thanks I may have to buy a pack.

Re: Cigars
Today I smoked an old favorite - CAO MX2 - which has a double hit of maduro - pleasant aroma, smooth burn, easy draw. I'll do it again sometime.

Ken Hundley - there is no vendor for the Patel line of cigars here in southern Oregon. If I get up north I will try to track down the 10 year old Patel you've mentioned.
