Question Little Cigars?

Browsing through the tobacco store today I noticed these packs of little cigars. Swisher had them, also Hav-A-Tampa, I think even King Edward (yuck!!!). They come in packs like cigarettes come in. I was wondering if anyone has tried them. If nobody has tried them, then I guess I will just for the hell of it.

Also, what does everybody smoke on those special occassions? I've got one of those coming up and want to know what's out besides Romeo y Julietas .

Well thanks,
Greg

If your looking for something for that special occasion I think you would find either pipe tobbacco or "pipe" flavored cigars. They are less offensive to others and generally are a better smoke. I prefer a nice black cavendish myself although cherry is another good one. Remember kids... Smoking is good, if you like the taste of liver-DONT SMOKE-

DO NOT SMOKE ok now that the public warning is out of the way, most of those little cigars are called cigarillos I believe. Macanudos are one of the better tasting brands.

For special occassions I have a cuban ... I mean a dominican cigar Luckily I have a friend who gets them for a fairly decent price . I also like Oliveros, La Gloria, and Montecristo, all great cigars

I have never cared much for the little ones. Most of them dont' have the smoothness I have expected from the bigger ones......except for the two boxes of mini-choibas my sister brought back from France a few years ago.

For big ones I like anything Macanudo, La Gloria Cubana and a few from JR Cigars.

Cohibas and Montecristos too.

My lungs can't take the little cigars, I need to inhale everything I smoke. We used to bust out the El Producto's for the occasions, I thought they were cool since they came in a sealed glass test tube.

Special times I do La Gloria Cubana, Cohiba or Arturo Fuente. National Brand is not bad either. Don Felo corona is my everyday smoke. The only small ones I've done were the Backwoods Smokes. Not too bad.

I have a friend that smokes Swisher Sweets. When we really want to tick him off we call them cigarettes. He starts yelling that he smokes cigars, not cigarettes.

My wife likes the cherry flavored Swisher Sweets. They're tasty but a little harsh when you get down to the end. Be careful though, they feel just like a cigarette in your hand and when I first tried one I took a drag on it like one...(coughing up a lung)
