Salop Matt Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Not a smoker here and I dont like cigarette smoke. But I do love a waft of cigar smoke, completely different beast and most enjoyed to sniff on a shoot day! Just saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet1747 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 never understood what the passion is with smoking, my family and friends smoke I never have thought about putting a fag in my mouth everyone to there own I suppose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynGT4 Posted July 9, 2017 Report Share Posted July 9, 2017 never understood what the passion is with smoking, my family and friends smoke I never have thought about putting a fag in my mouth everyone to there own I suppose Difficult to explain but cigar smoking really isn't much like smoking a cigarette, very different experience and very relaxing. I guess it's something smokers elevate to rather than take up initially. A quality cuban enjoyed with an equally good cognac or single malt really is a wonderfull thing, just not something to do regularly (for me anyway). Not suggesting you try it though, as having no tollerance to nicotine, a good cigar would probably make your head spin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you I would not actively endorse a none smoker to take up cigar smoking 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 OK cigar smoking boys and girls, I'm after some advice please. I'm looking for a small, everyday mild cigar that has the cigar smell and experience without the harsh and bitter taste. I've tried cafe cremes and found them still pretty harsh. (They may be better after a bit of time to mature). I've seen Cohiba miniatures, but given they're a med to full flavour, I'd expect them to be harsh on the mouth too. Can anyone suggest anything? Budget not huge, but I don't smoke many cigars so don't mind splashing out a bit for something that is more pleasant to smoke... Cheers.

ips Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Romeo y julieta miniatures are very smooth , if you can get hold of them in UK. Henri winterman also do a miniature which may be worth trying, I cant remember exactly what they were like though. Have you tried the cafe creme blue ??

Lord v Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I'm partial to a Don Thomas Rothschild - very mild, coffee and spice mix. Honduran rather than Cuban, can therefore be picked up for about £5 a cigar. I also like El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supremes - very light and sweet. treat myself to one every so often.

panoma1 Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 You won't go far wrong with a King Edward! Well if you could get em that is! It appears they are no longer available in the UK? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandspider Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 (edited) Thanks all, some options to look into I did try the CC blue, and was disappointed - they weren't as smooth as I was hoping. Though apparently they improve with keeping... Seems like (one type of) King Edwards are available here? https://www.thebackyshop.co.uk/products/king-edward-imperial-american-cigars It also seems that lots of miniatures have been discontinued, shame!

From my experience over 20 years ago mind! The King Edward Imperials were a nice, smooth, mild US made cigar suitable for the newcomer to cigar smoking.....I didnt think you could still get them though? But it seems maybe you can?.........I also heard the King Edward Invincibles were unobtainable now too?

sandspider Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 The same site shows the invincibles as unobtainable in the UK any more, so you're probably right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigbob Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Got 5 packets of hamlets i got for £2.50 a packet but every time i say time for one and a drink outside the wife gives me the dead eye but i think i would suffer for a king edward i really used to enjoy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel b3 Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 I'm a vaper too, but I rarely get any pangs for a smoke now It's not that often that I get the urge for a fag these days ,but ,I keep getting drawn back to this thread ,and I'm starting to convince myself that a single cigar wouldn't hurt me. I won't do it though ,I know only too well that one cigar will lead to 60 fags a day again within weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
