I like the Opus X. Cubans for the most part are over-rated.

The key to any cigar is freshness. I have a pal who goes to Cuba twie a year from Montreal. I am not sure why he goes and never ask. He aways goes to the same guy the morning he leaves and gets a couple of dozen that were rolled that morning. On ocassion I'll rate one of those when he returns. They are great! I've gotten them fresh in thew DR and they have been just as good.

I like the Ashton's for my regular smoke. Always a slow even smoke with very little canoe action.

never had a fresh one i guess from cuba....i agree that dominican's are just as good and sometimes better than cubans...

i like ashton's...i prefer mild cigars and i got a bundle when i bought my humidor of casa blanca's..i find that i like them alot and they aren't expensive

torano's are good as well

i like this site

I get mine usually at a place called the Red Lion Smoke Shop but go to TwoGuys Smokeshop in Salem NH when I'm looking for a larger selection.

My position as a health & fitness "professional" conflicts woth my affinity for a good cigar. Despite that I enjoy one or two smokes a month.

I love me some good cigars...don't have favorites and tend to not spend a ton on them unless its an occassion that warrants it. I can't wait for the weather to get warmer so I can enjoy some soon.
