Whats your Favorite Cigar? After range time or hell during?
I was smokeing the Padron 3000 fot the last 5 years or so. But now I have to say R.P. EDGE M torpedo. I like this Cigar better than my Dads cubans he brings back from his trips! and my Bushmaster / LMT M4 upper You guys that like a strong cigar without the harshness try EDGE MADURO |
|
I went through the cigar phase last year, bought a humidor and all.
Spent a couple hundred $$$ at least. It was fun while it lasted, now I stick to Swisher Sweets, those Outlaws are hand made and decent. If u like robust try Industrial Press, the last third is money. |
|
I have an Oasis in one humidor and it works very well. Oh, my combo would be a CMP AR and Hemingway Short Story - both old school..... |

Cohiba Siglo V with a LW 6.8 SRT-10.3 in Foliage Green....yeah.

Fuente Don Carlos, Hemingways, Opus X or Padron Anniversarios (regular or 1926). You havana boys can keep those. I've had a few and the last good one was a Hoyo de Monterey Double Corona about 6 years ago. (absolutely amazing smoke) Too hard to find, too pricey and too many fakes! The dozen or so I've had since then were less than par & I'm pretty decent at spotting fakes. Fuente & Padron have you covered AND you can actually find them. I often enjoy mine after a range trip with a good bourbon & coke.
BTW, if anyone wants to try & convince me of the Cubans being better, send a box or a couple my way & I promise to keep an open mind! trade you for some ammo! |

Well, you need to try harder... and perhaps try a good cigar..... something mild, perhaps an Arturo Fuente Short Story or 858 P.S. I have tried cubans...... not impressed Castro ran all the good cigar makers out of the country years ago...... |

Wow Ican't believe the number of cigar smokers on the board! Very cool! My faves, Ashton VSG, La Flor Dominicana Double Ligeros, anything Arturo Fuente with Sun Grown wrapper.
Incidentally, my family grows a lot of the wrappers, fillers, and binders that you guy's mentioned in your favorite cigars. |
|
HAVE you tried RP EDGE MADURO Torpedo? I have many Black label under my belt, Not bad |
|
|
YOU ARE RIGHT!!!!!!! I get my cubans from my Dad when he takes his trips all over the world! There are ALOT of FAKES that its almost to hard to tell! COHIBA I got was fake it came from Ireland! Now a days Cuba has nothing on us! Back in the 90`s yes! I like my EDGE Maduro better than any cuban to date! However I Do like Romeo Julieta Churchill in TUBO and #2 Monte Someone just had to do it!! A BLUNT or whatever its called?? Maybe a MODERATOR can get rid of it?? |

My Brother In-Law got me hooked on good cigars smoked with some Hennessy or Courvoisier last year, the Wife was less than amused. She can handle multi-thousand dollar ARs, numbers matching Garands, and precision bolt-action rifles. She views them as hunks of metal really, but she also knows they can save her life, so she shoots and trains with them often, and that is what makes them acceptable to her. But the first couple boxes of Ashton Churchills and Montecristo Churchills that showed up at the doorstep and it was war!
Of course I played out a dirty little guerilla war and wore out her resolve and can now claim victory, but it was a costly one. |

Have you been visited by the Spelling Nazi yet?
Please fix the "smokeing" in the title to "smoking" Thanks... Your friendly neighborhood spelling nazi AND those few people who use the search function! |
|
No not serious actually. My lungs are smoke free, I hate to smell like shit, and lip cancer is nasty as hell. To each his own, but tobacco products will never enter this body. I dont puff da ganja, mon, either. That's money I could be spending on bullets And smoking cigars looks like you have mexican dick or turd hanging from your lips |

|

My personal menu consists of these, in descending magnitude of celebration: -Monty duece -Fuente Opus X -Fuente Chateau Maduro -Fuente Short story Nothing beats a #2 after a long day pressing the trigger. |
|
My next thread is my favorite pack of chewing gun while at the range. Then I will have pics of big red sitting on my RRA just to make it AR15 related... |
|
|
Cifuentes Paratagas
Fuente Don Carlos Fuente Hemmingway La Aurora Perferdo |
|
How about Chewing tobacco REDMAN |

+1 Is that a LMT lower? Sorry for the two guys who dont like a GOOD CIGAR after shooting. you could just stay away since ho hate this subject? Let me guess you arent having fun so you try to ruin it for us ? PLZ |

No, I'm not trying to fuck it up for you. I just think this thread has no business being in a technical discussion forum and has nothing to do with ARs (regardless of how many AR pics people post). What I would like to see is either... A. A Moderator stop by and do his job by either moving or deleting this thread. B. You "Man-Up" and contact a Mod and explain to them you fucked up and posted this in the wrong forum and ask him to move it. or (and this is the best one yet...) C. You cough up $20 for a membership and post something like this in the team forum which is the perfect place for a thread like this. Sorry, I'm not trying to be an ass (I guess it just comes naturally ) but if I wanted to read stupid threads like this I would go the the GD forum. (and If you care to check you will see that I almost never go to the GD forum PS -
You sir are desperately in need of a girlfriend if the best thing you can think of after a day at the range is either taking a shit or smoking a cigar (not sure which "#2" your were referring to?)! |

ZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! |

So, where does everybody buy their cigars?
I think JR is pretty much the standard? |
|
Thompson Cigar Co. Decent prices, crazy huge selection. |
|
|
|
The topic is "Best Cigar/AR Combination". Hence it belongs where it is, in the "AR specific forum". If the topic was "Best Cigar/AK Combination", the thread would belong elsewhere, and the answers might be very different. |

takeing a #2 thats Funny
He is still here bitching? Man he must have it bad? |
|
|
I like anything Fuente, plus a Padron Principie Maduro, and Cubinitos (Fuente brand) before, during and after shooting my AR.
I haven't seen one "handle" on this tread that I would recognize over at CigarFamily.com. You guys need to post over there. Lot's of gunners there too and a ton of cigar knowledge. It is the Fuente/Newman cigar site. ps There is a Trading Room where you can get just about any cigar you ever wanted to try. |
|
I feel really low class right about now in this thread. I've never had a "good" cigar. I hit a Black & Mild or Jewel Black Gold occasionally, but nothing "exotic" yet. I need to branch out and get a little culture I guess.
|
|
Well it depends on the occasion....
Ashton VSG or Padron Anniversario 1926 with my M855. Opus X with my Q3131. |
|
That was the point Stickman, pick up some of those tubes that you can see in my humidor. They work AMAZINGLY well. Just fill em up with distilled water, and turn them upside down to let the excess drain. Throw em in just like a cigar, and they work great. As long as they're filled, they keep my humidor at a good 69-71%. I just picked up a cigar oasis XL, so we'll see how that works. Nothing like good old fashioned electronically regulated humidification I set mine at 71% RH |

+1. CAO makes consistently good cigars. Just the other day my buddy and I smoked some CAO Cameroons...while enjoying the company of a DSA 16" FAL, an Arsenal SLR-105 A1 (AK-74), a G3 clone, a Sig P229 and a Wilson CQB Compact. I'm telling you, beautiful weather, good friends, cigars and guns, no better way to spend an afternoon. Well, there might be a few better ways..... CAO's Extremes and Golds are good, too. Onyx is a brand that is growing on me, as well. They have one cigar that scored a 94 at Cigar Aficionado, Reserve I think. Anyway, they are only about $10 bucks and EXCELLENT. |

I can roll while driving, but while bumping might be kind of hard. |
