Hey everyone, I'm a huge fan of premium cigars, and I wanted to know if anyone else on the forums enjoyed the occasional stogie as well. If you do, what are some of your favs? A couple of my new favorites are the A. Fuente Sungrown as well as the Camacho SLR. Discuss...

I really wanna contribute here, but I got nuthin'! Sorry.......I'll try harder next time, I promise.

You smoke You choke!

But not when you don't inhale! Inhaling a cigar would actually be a tough challenge for most, though some actually do.

the best stogie I 've smoked is a cuban

The Arturo Fuente Double Corona in a Natural wrapper is my Favorite. The Sun wrapper is also pretty good but sometimes it tastes way too dry for my taste. I do enjoy the occasional Macanudo Robusto as well. At one of my former jobs, i was a warehouse manager for a Cigar company and you would probably not like em as much if I told you what was in them.

I knew this thread had potential!! So KT, please enlighten us as to the "secret ingredients" in the worlds finest cigars.

Monkey

Yes KT, please enlighten us! I'm really curious now. Did they make handmade stogies there or machine made?

We resold both hand rolled and machine. Well their is this little tobbacco worm that is prevelant in all tobacco. It lays eggs and dies and through all the processing and cleaning the eggs still survive. Some tobacco companies will use insecticides to eliminate 80% of the eggs, but they are still there. Another technique is the freeze method which is 100% effective but expensive. The cigars get frozen down to -30f and this causes the eggs to burst preventing the larvae from hatching. The Eggs that survive the insecticides will eventually hatch and the worm will go to work on the Tobacco. If you have seen a cigar with small pinholes, then you have seen the handiwork of this bug. Of course the worms stay within the wrapper until they are visible and big enough to eat through the generally drier harder wrapper. Just the beginning, ill put more here later.

COOL! Tell us more......I'm learnin somthin' here.

Eww all you cigar smokers have worms. lol

Very interesting indeed...

Romeo y Julieta

White OWL or grape blunt...

you empty the cigar by licking it all over, slicing the outter wrapper with a razorand pushing the bad tabacy into the garbage. rip off the rounded end about 3/4 of an inch to remove the "DARK" inner layer. smooth the paper.... re-wet if needed! install about .7-2 grams of wacky tabacy in a solid line, going the long way across the paper. (closer to one side then the other. proceed to FOLD the paper till it is tight and it reaches the end. lick the paper were it comes together (saliva holds as a decient glue for "stogies". dry with lighter or air dry for 20 minutes. light and enjoy as needed!!!

other way to do this is rolling doubles or quads but that takes 6-7 grams per and requires 4 ppl to smoke... too much for the casual smoker!

sides can be honey to seal the paper

only 4?
