As if I needed another habit, some friends of mine (at least I thought that they were my friends) have gotten me thoroughly hooked on cigars. I remember thinking "How lame!" during the cigar boom of 4-5 years ago, when everyone and their cat had a stogie stuck in their mouths. But now that the boom is gone and the prices have bottomed out, I've totally gotten into it. There's place near me that sells H. Upmann and Montecristo "rejects/defects" for $1.49 apiece, so it's been mercifully inexpensive at one smoke per day. But I'm picking up various other brands here and there, exploring what there is. Anyone have any good recommendations? So far my favorites are the Montecristos and the CAO la anniversarie with the cameroon wrapper. I tried one with a maduro wrapper and it was too dark/harsh for me. At least for now.
