I love cigars. Though nowadays I stick to my pipe with its amazing blends of tobbacco's, it is slightly better than a cigar. But it is very high matainence. I would suggest Cohiba's or Montecristos. You will only be able to get the Domincan brands, not as good as the Cubans, unless you get across the border to Canada (or Mexico). Some other good brands are Macanudo (Tony Sopranos Fav :p ) and other Cuban blends. I stopped smoking cigars for a while now because of their price. A good cigar can run you 4-10 each. NEVER buy from a covienence store. Always go to a good tobbacconist. I wish I could afford them but its an expensive habit. The tobbacconist down my steet has an ounce of pipe tobbacco for only 2.99, which lasts me a good 2 weeks. Enjoy, but dont do it often. I used to really enjoy it, but stopped now and will only do it when I, A) Have lots of extra cash, B) Celebrations. They are much less harmful than cancer sticks (Cigs), but not to be done irresposibly.(as if you could do them responsibly ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/lol.gif) ) Bottom Line is: Dont go nuts, if it becomes a life long habit, it WILL kill you.

Shrewd devil, you know very well that God pardons singers no matter what they do, because he can simply die for a song.

I smoke cigars occasionally. Only at parties or when I am playing cards though. Im not sure how old you are, but I am guessing that you are in the 17, 18, 19 range like myself. I have tried cubans and the other good brands, and yes they are very good, but they are very expensive. If you have the oppurtunity, then go for it, but if your looking for a cheap "gas station" cigar, go with optimos. Very smooth and much better tasting than others in its genre such as Phillies.
I have sort of a sub question myself for the more experinced smokers: I am going to the Dominican Republic next month, and I plan on buying many of their famous cigars. But can I legally take them back to the states with me?

Dominican Republic is fine. You can get whatever you want. I've been to the Dominican Republic, Peurto Rico, Key Islands, Haiti (Same as DR, just other side of Island) and some other Carribian spots. I hope to return there in my late 20's or 30's to do some world travel and writing. As for cigars, you can get them from Cuba too, but only 2 cases.(Usually hold 25 cigars) I think the rest of the islands are ok. Cigars are not the top at their list of worries, though, if you do bring back a bag of "white powder" they might detain you for longer ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/wink.gif) :p . Have fun!

Two things, both off-topic (bastard thing to do, I know; sorry).
One: If cigars are all tobacco and no nasty chemicals, would I be right to assume they aren't addictive?
Two: Don Ferro, by some manic coincidence today in art class, I noticed a book titled "Gonzo - The Art", full of crazily sketched cartoon faces and whatnot. Foreword by Hunter S. Thompson; didn't read it as I noticed it on my way out, but will read it when I next get the chance. Anyway, without further ado, are you familiar with this art form?

Mick I love this book. Gonzo art is drawn for Thompson's work by his good friend Ralph Steadman. Steadman is a god with a brush. Gonzo is my favorite art form, and though after reading the into (did you?) by Thompson, you might think they are not good friends, trust me, that was just the way he did things and talked about people. (I can't belive I'm using him in past tense ![](/threads/images/graemlins/classic/frown.gif) ) but yes, if this book was not 50 dollars or I had money, you could bet it would be sitting on my coffee table, but alas, both are true. I hope you enjoy Steadman as much as I do, he was very saddened to hear of Thompson's death but not surprised. Heres a link to a good story about Hunter's death from Ralph's view. http://enjoyment.independent.co.uk/books/features/story.jsp?story=613513 Enjoy, The Doc
