Default Cigars...

I always come here first to ask...I want to get a real nice box of cigars as a gift. Not an L-88 brand, but a 427/435 brand will do And also a good website to order from...

2Guys out of New Hampshire. I've been buying my 'gars from them for quite a while now - always fresh and certainly have the variety. I'm only one state away and I usually get them the next day!

i buy from them. they are pretty helpful, and you get some GREAT deals.
depends on how much you want to spend, obviously, and what 'type' of smoke you are looking for. ie, strong, mild, moderate.
i got a few partagas, (stronger), and the cao's are nice, also, as stated before.
they even have some samplers available, so you'll get a few different cigars, for a good price.


good luck.

You Suck - Just kidding - lucky ba$#@%d

I like a variety of cigars - get them usually at local shops but have ordered from Thompson as well - did not have a problem.

I have found that I like Arturo Fuente, Ashton, Romeo & Julietta - to name a few
The next thing that you have to consider is the ring gauge and length
Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 -- Maduro Wrapper - 6 x 47/Box of 25 for example is 6" long and a 47 ring size - meaning that it will take awhile to smoke
Something like this should cost about $100

Good Luck

Arturo Fuente or Romeo Y Julieta are really good. The Arturo Fuente Opus X is my favorite, but they're more along the lines of an L-88 version. Some other well known brands include Macanudo, Montecristo, Partagas and Cohiba.

I used to do THomsons until I found
http://www.cigarsinternational.com/index.asp
Lots of the same stock for cheaper prices.
That and Thomsons stopped shipping to Idaho.

I go to the local shops for the special cigars or to check out a certain selection and I ship in the daily smokes.

Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro wrapper. Those are one of the best "daily smoke" cigars out there. They won't break the bank and have a good easy smoke flavor.

Padron 2000's are also good, a little more pricy, but good.

My everyday cigars are Carlos Torano. They were just rated a 91 in Cigar aficionado. A good cigar at a reasonable price! Just my .02
