Cohiba Siglo - I've heard the IV (or was it the VI?) was especially amazing. At any rate, be sure to buy from (Casa Havana?)/cuban gov't stores, else you run the risk of buying a counterfeit
not so sure i'm feeling "rich" but I can probably splurge on a stick or two... but let's be honest, most of my $ is going to wine and food... i plan on gainin about 10lbs... no idea what these Cohiba's cost, but I don't think I will want to go over $30 or so

good call... if there are any specific places to go in Madrid or Paris, let me know... I'll do some research on my end also... thanks guys!
Anything in the Siglo line is amazing IMO, but I like large ring sizes so the Siglo VI is where it's at for me, also the Maduro Genios...H. Upmann and Ramon Allones have some powerful sticks...
Bolivar is definitely notorious for having full flavored, strong smokes. They are also much less expensive than some of the better known brands. PSDn4 is also a classic.

LCDH La Casa Del Habano... That is the government of Cuba's sanctioned company.
If you are feeling rich, you should grab a Cohiba Behike.
LOL love the Behike idea, but he'd have be feeling exceedingly 'rich'...
Only if you're in Canada. In Europe and Mexico they are supposed to be reasonably priced.
Hmm..then they either changed their minds at release, or did something else funny. I first heard about this through a pre-release press release from Cohiba, and they stated that this cigar would only be available in boxes - no singles - for something along the lines of $5k a box. I hadn't heard anything further about (it had rather slipped my mind, to be honest), and so my thinking was still along these lines. In the case of them being around 30Euros, from the amazing things I've read of them, I will be seeking these out.

Yeah, there was the OR of Behikes in 2006, which came in Humidors of 40 sticks, all made by one lady who has been a roller for Cohiba forever, using rare tobacco, and oh yeah, costing like 15,000 Euros or something. Those would work out to like $400+/stick lol. Fortunately the regular release Behikes aren't nearly like that. My only complaint, and the biggest thing aside from the cost that has kept me from seeking one out is the sizes. Who wants to smoke a 56 ring gauge habano? No thanks...
The box of Cohiba BHK 52's (the best ones out of the 3) will run you about a $1,000 easy. If you do actually score one, I wouldn't smoke it right away. They are GREAT candidates for aging, I would say at LEAST a good 5 years on them. Trinidad also has a good prices on some smokes.
say what you will about Uncle Fidel... the man has good taste in cigars.
True. If I recall, didn't AJ once say that Fidel was a fan of his mentors (bah, I forgot the guy's name - AJ's mentor that recently died). Story goes that Fidel was such a huge fan that when he took over, he let the guy keep his tobacco farm private, instead of seizing it like the rest of Cuba's assets

Vegas Robaina... I don't know about the whole Fidel back story, but if it's true, then VERY cool!
