So I'd like to see what others really like as a nice yardgar, so far mine has been a rested nica libre. It's nice and earthy and not very sweet, but I'm always looking for the next good low priced smoke
Don't really have a yard but I know what you're looking for. Check out AJ Fernandez Fresh Rolled. You can get them in either habano or maduro and the maduro is great. For the price you can't go wrong.
IMHO a yard gar is something that doesn't break the
Bank but is enjoyable...something that is not something you need to sit back and really think about the complexity
Honestly I really dislike 5vegas I have yet had one I enjoy slightly. But I will always keep a open mind... I did buy the deal of the day which did come with the relics so I'll see of that is any better then the ones I've tried
I've been around here quite some time but what actually qualifies a stick as a yard gar?
+1 i guess it means different things to different people, what I and Diamondog would consider yardgar's are probably pretty far apart from one another..
The cigar geek at the B&M suggested a bundle of fresh rolled to me yesterday. How long do you store them before you fire them up? What are they like once aged?
They are not fresh-rolled at all, it's just the name. Alex Svenson indicated that they were in fact aged for a few months before shipping them from the factory. They are a little harsh ROTT, but with a few more months they settle down.
If you want to try a few of the habano coronas, I can send some your way. PM me with your address.
I've come to the conclusion that the Oliva V robusto can be enjoyed anytime. In fact, my humidor is becoming pretty homogenous: Oliva V's, San Lotano Habanos and Ovals, MOW PA's, and Padron '64's take up just about 85 % of my humidor space. The other 15% are expensive, "special occasion" sticks.
If I can't enjoy one of those while puttering around in the garden, or pruning the bushes, etc., then I'm probably not iin the mood for a cigar anyway.

+1 for the PI Viejo, great smoke for working outdoors

Come on, I'm surprised I was the first wise-ass to step up and say that.
Ahhh yes, the triple seven, I keep them stocked. I will also say the Nestor Miranda Doppelbok is my yardgar for a inexpensive smoke that is good.
But in all seriousness, my top 3 yardgars:
La Perla Habana
Kinky Friedman No. 4
Gran Habano 3 SLS
