Cigar Confessional

[RogMcDodge]

I'm sure we all have some cigar sins that would interest others. I'll get us started...

- I've never had a regional release Cuban
- I've never been to a UK Cigar Shop
- I have, on numerous occasions, gone into a pub with a lit cigar in my hand to buy a drink. Never been caught...

Your turn!

Hey, I've never had any of the Upmann Mag range, I've also never had any of the Juan Lopez range. REALLY want to try these 2!

I've never had a cigar bigger than a Petit Corona, or purchased a box of any kind (only ever the odd single).

To be honest I've hardly had anything, its all a money thing with me as I haven't had a job since September of last year so simply don't have the money to spend on cigars unfortunately. Anybody else feel sorry for me apart from myself lol?

For years I had about 12 RyJ Hermoso No.2 EL's from 2004 kept in a cheap,unhumidified humidor,that I had allowed to dry out and die.Had to destroy them when I came back to cigars (properly this time) just over a year ago.In my defence there were some major life changing things happening at the time that meant that cigars could no longer be on my radar but still,a pity.I can only wonder at what they would have been like now

Is the size thing because of cost also or is this the size you prefer? Never had a Robusto?

[James811]

I've had a couple of robusto's. But yea it is a cost thing. I may have my Gold Medal today as a celebration of my new job

A new job! Congratulations Gold medal? I've not heard of those? Do you smoke any NCs?

[James811]

Yea the gold medal is from Bolivar, and I am going to buy some cheap NC's for when I fancy a smoke but don't want anything too special. Looks like I won't be having my GM today, the weather has turned!

[Andy W]

James well done on the new job, its great news. I had my first Gold Medal yesterday (I got a box a few months ago and its been in the humidor since then). I really enjoyed the Gold Medal and will be getting some more very soon.

[Vortigan]

Congrats on the new job from here too James pity about the weather,that would be a good celebratory smoke I reckon.

[James811]

Managed a RyJ No.2 which I'm now half way through. Haf a few RyJ and not to sure on 'em

[Wardjrz]

Wow. I also had my first Gold Medal yesterday, is it Gold Medal Weekend?

Mine was received as part of a trade with a fellow Forum member.

I enjoyed it.

I found it quite a strong flavour but very enjoyable - I'd just had a curry so I probably needed something stronger flavoured to challenge the flavour of a madras.

I'll be looking to pick up a couple of singles in future as I don't buy boxes in the UK, only when I go abroad.

There are two reasons for this. The first is cost and the second is that my Humi won't hold another box as it is quite full at the moment.

I need to smoke more.

Nearly every Cigar makes me want to lie down after smoking and have a snooze.
