I like cigars but I don't smoke them often.

I like pipe tobacco more. I smoke it every day. They don't have the punch of a cigar, but you can enjoy it all day. It is very nuanced and there is a learning curve. Proper bowl packing, tamping, and self control are needed to draw the best flavor of the blend. Grab a 10 dollar Missouri Meerschaum pipe (they taste as good as a hundred dollar briar) and try out some tobacco in this way. If you want a big punchy feel with a strong nicotine content then I'd recommend a blend called Old Joe Krantz.

For cigars though, I occasionally will have something from either manowar or diesel. They taste good and don't have too many wrapper issues or dreaded canoeing/tubing and they taste good.

Also, many people actually enjoy the smell of pipe tobacco blends. In my experience they even enjoy non-aromatic blends. Aromatic blends are blends mixed eavily with flavorings they call casings. Cherry and fruity things mostly but some are even savory. I almost never smoke aromatic blends.

I should write up a primer or something in case others are interested because I have over 30 pounds of pipe tobacco that I'm cellaring. Virginia blends especially age nicely but most non-aromatic blends will taste better with age.

I almost never smoke them outside of my own place. It just looks goofy and pretentious. It is incredibly luxurious though...

Get a box of 25 Cohiba Siglo V cigars for just a little over 2400$ or about 90 bux a tube, they say they will "satisfy" the smoker for just over 1 hour and 40 minutes. Link.

Can't go wrong with Rocky Patel or A. Fuentes. Mine and my dad's favorites, respectively.

Connecticut catch 22 if they still sell them. Good smooth cigar

Roll your own, it’s a time honored tradition. You don’t need sweaty Cubans rolling your cigar or die for the state. Get your tobacco straight from Kentucky and roll it your self. Remember lung cancer wasn’t a problem in the colonies until there was a tobacco industry.

I know some aficionados would disagree, but I still think the Liga Privada line from Drew Estates is one of the best, especially the good 'ol No.9; these can be tricky to find and on the pricy side, though. La Nox from LFD is another favorite. Can't think of any sampler packs to recommend.

Black and Mild wood tips. Sold every where tobacco products are carried

Actually, if you're in south Florida go to homestead, that big stretch of farms on the highway with a gas station on every corner, everyone has cigars from the same dude. They are like 2 dollars a piece, they're amazing, gas stations down here buy them and resell the same ones for 9 bucks where I live. Great smoke, cheap.

Temple hall estates are good and inexpensive
