Favorite Budget stick ($0-8)? Factory Throwouts, $21 for a pack of 20. Great beginner stick. Creamy mild and cheap enough you can hand out half a dozen round the campfire and never think twice, and it won't overpower your new campfire friends.

I did some motorcycle wrenching for another guy who had tobacco general send me a box a couple months ago. I'm rationing them out. Other than that, I just pop by the cigar store aforementioned and root around for something to try. Next time I am by there, I'll ask them about age.
What was the last stick you purchased? Couple Dunhills and a couple of green Fuentes Flor Fina 8-5-8. That's a nice green wrapped smoke.
Favorite Machine-Made? Why? Do you have a favorite machine made food? No, machinery has it's place, but... I'm not a wine snob, but I know enough not to drink box wine. Am I missing something? Like I said, I'm just a noob. There may be some point I missed.
Favorite place to smoke? The garage, while wrenching, with football on the toob. Better yet, the campfire, under the stars, with bourbon is the hip flask.
Favorite thing to do while smoking? Swap lies.
What kind of cutters do you use? A punch.
What kind of lighters/matches do you use? The wooden matches they give me at the cigar store.
Naked or Cello? However it comes. Does it matter? Man, I must be a real ignorant noob, cause there's a lot of these questions I don't get at all.

I was going to say no but then I read Waynes post about the Gurkha Grand Reserve. That's the only infused cigar I've purchased numerous times.

Depends on the blend. La Gloria Cubana Glorias Extra Ave Maria Knights Templar or Guillermo Leon Belicoso

Rocky Patel Renaissance Backwoods I guess. My smoking tent. Take notes, read or write. Xikar Xi2, Xikar Vx, some off brand punch. Xikar Ex soft flame, and a little welding torch. Cellophane on all the time. Only when the burn line reaches it. 63%-68%
