Cigars and Bourbon

Featured Replies

I enjoy the Nub line but they are a bit overpriced.

 

I really like Nubs. Full flavor, nice strength in a shorter smoke. Really nice when you don't have a couple of hours to devote to a regular length cigar. They can be overpriced in stores, but I have been able to get good deals on them on Cigar Bid. Nubs are one the brands I always have quite a few of in my humidors.

You all convinced me, I'll get some Nubs.

Smoked a Rocky Patel Prohibition Broadleaf maduro this weekend with a glass of Woodford on the rocks.

 

Very tasty...highly recommend both.

I've had a few cigars here and there over the years but I couldn't tell you what they are.

 

What are some good pairing recommendations for someone that hasn't had many cigars before?

You can't go wrong with Romeo y Juliet, the best selling cigar in the United States, and at a good price as well.

 

Cohiba Red Dot are very good in my opinion. A little pricier at $19, but very good.

 

Oliva are very good and at a good price.

 

I smoke all these with various upper end bourbons and think they all go well together.

If I could get the 4" Nubs for $5 I'd be giddy but most retail shops are $6 plus.

Boy I didn't Friday night. Kind of over did it. It didn't help that I only ate one meal all day.

 

Woodford and a My Father Connecticut, robusto. This cigar might become my second go to after the Oliva Connecticut Reserve.

You sounded okay, but then again I may have over done it myself... :D

Thanks Ram! I will give these a try soon and return with a report!

If you like a mild cigar the Vegas 5 Gold is a very nice mild as is Macanudo.

 

Oliva G is one of the best bang for the buck medium body cigars. They also have the Oliva O which is a little more full bodied.

 

And, like Ram said, Romeo y Juliet makes a great product. Always in my humidor.

I've gotten 5 packs for around $15 on Cigarbid.com. Pick up a few other things and combine shipping, you'll be at $4 or so per stick. I rarely buy at retail, unless it's something hard to get. Party Source in Bellevue has a great selection, and you can often get rare, higher end stuff cheaper there than online. Of course the mid priced stuff like Nubs, are more expensive there than online.

When I stood up, I almost went head first into the sliding glass door. Mrs. S liked of died laughing. I was toasted.

Love me some nubs.....just ordered me 16.
