I tried some small ones from Brazil and Africa, they were half decent (for the minis),sorry don't have the name with me but if you wan,t I can get to you in a few days.
Now, for the real mcoy (regular size): La Groria Cubana, Fuenta, CAO anniversery, and of course from the land that can't be spoken
I heard the Partagas are real good-at $30 a pop

Little Cigars
I tried Swishers and they are a fine smoke. I however suplement my nasty smoking habit by smoking Winchester little cigars they are cheap. They have more of a wallopp than a Swisher and after you smoke a couple you kind of don't want to smoke for a while.

The local shop has a decent selection. I tried "Helix" cigars a while back, they were pretty good. I got a Royal Coronation too, it was nasty, never again. Macanudos and Don Diegos are pretty good. I also have these Bering Imperials, but they were kinda cheap ( I have a $5 limit, gotta spend at least $5 on each one.) I think they were like 4.95
Edit-
I just had one of those Berings, they were better than the Royal Coronation, but not anywhere near a Romeo y Julieta.

I just went to John T's today... got a few of their Crowd Pleaser cigars - they're pipe tobacco cigars, smell and taste great. Also got a few little ones, and this one that couldn't have been any bigger than a cigarette, in length or ring gauge (diameter). It was called Soloz, I think, and had a hint of vanilla.

I smoke blackstone cherry cigars:
They're cheap (about $2 for 10), taste great, are smooth, and smell nice. I get compliments all the time about how much people love to smell them. They're pretty mild too... I inhale them, and smoke about 8 a day, and feel better than if I smoked cigarettes.

Real Smok'n
Greg :
The smoke you are looking for on that special occasion have to come from Canada because they are Cuban .
Nothing else is close and I recently was given a pack of these small cigars that
were brought back from there and the quality remains the same as the larger ones .
You may want to check the credit card balance before developing a taste for these though as I recently ordered up a Monticristo , one of the best and biggest on the market , from the humidor in a bar and paid $63.00 Can . for one cigar . These usually sell for about $56.00 in a good smoke shop though .
Just have to beware of the cheap Portarico knock offs full of animal hair etc . with cuban names and lables .

I just want to reunderline a simple fact: Kids - don't smoke. PLEASE do not start.
I have never smoked anything in my life, but I will admit, the Swisher's smell pretty good, and the pipe stuff does smell pretty good too. I hate inhaling it because of what is in it...but they do smell nice if I'm around somebody that is smoking that. Much better then Cigarettes! Ugh!
I can condone cigar smoking (flavor, etc), but cigarettes...what's the point except for killing yourself? At least a cigar smoker doesn't have a nasty smell following him around - often it'll be a fair smell.

The lesson here: Buy expensive cigars, guys! The bigger and cheaper they are, the more foul and repulsive they get (as do the cretins who burn them in public).

Oh Boy, sorry but you got taken by the bartender. Thompson cigars has them from $10-13 a pop.

Different Animal :
Psyche:I'm sure you must be refering to a different stogie . These as I said are around $54 in the smoke shops and sell for about $10 US in Cuba which is almost a weeks pay for those poor slaves .
The ones I refered to are the old Al Capone model about 10" long and 1 1/4 "
in diameter . Hand rolled to perfection and one of Cubas most valuable exports .
If I could find them anywhere for Thompson's price you quoted I could bootleg them at $40.00 and still make a good buck . Nothing like a fine cigar and nothing worse than a cheap knock off . But one can smell the difference across the room without even tasting them .
These were selling for $30.00 a pop when I stopped smoking cigaretts in the late 70's and continued to have the odd cigar as a treat sometimes but the price of the good cubans has always made them only a very special treat as I'm no millionaire and probably never will be unless I win a lottery .
I'm thinking the outer tube on a good cuban would probably be worth $10 or $13 in this day and age .
