Other than a couple of Cubans (Cohiba and Romeo Y Julieta), the brands I’ve enjoyed include Ashton, Arturo Fuente, CAO, Davidoff, and H. Upmann, Macanudo, Monte Cristo, Padron, and Partagas.
I’ve smoked 2 cigarettes in my life, and never saw the appeal. Given that cigarette “tobacco” is really chemically treated tabacco paper, I guess I get it.
Cigars are real tobacco, and something I’ve found fun as an occasional social experience. Don’t think I’ve ever had a cigar alone.
