First smoked when I turned 18, 30 years ago... I have been an on and off again cigar/pipe smoker. I recently went to a cigar event and remembered why I love cigars so much. It is so much about the community and your shared experience smoking cigars. I've always enjoyed looking for bargain sticks, even now that I can afford better. I tend to like medium bodied larger ring gauge (robustos). My favorite recent stick was the My Father La Antiguedad, a delicious complex stick that changed throughout the smoke.
