Default The cigar thread.

I know we're not puff.com or the like but for those of you who are into this kind of thing, what are your sticks of choice?
My top three are the Fuente 8-5-8 Flor Fina, Romeo Y Julieta Aniversario maduro, and the Gurkha master select.

It's hard to go wrong with a Montecristo No. 2 (Cuban version) or Partagas Serie P No. 2. A really nice "go to" daily smoke is the Rocky Patel Catch-22. Lots of sizes, but I prefer the 6 x 60.

I like the robusto size myself. But find myself snuffing the cigar pretty early since I have a rather low tolerance to nicotine. It's feels like such a waste for a $12 stick but better that than to overindulge.

Makes sense. But, please tell me you're not actually in the habit of "snuffing" a cigar you're finished smoking .

If it's done it's done, I have no issue snubbing it in my own ashtray, it's not like I'll be relighting it again. Besides I live in Florida, and pretty much half of the year everything outside is prime tinder, so I prefer making sure it's out.
Now if I were in a cigar shop or other fine establishment I follow the protocol.
