Cigar Suggestion for Fishing trip

brianetz1

In a couple of weeks a group of my friends and our fathers go on a fishing trip. In the evenings we generally sit around play cards and get shitcanned on regular american pilsners.

What would you guys suggest as a good cigar to bring down to offer to cigar smokers and non smokers alike that goes with american pilsners ?

I am bringing a bunch of cigars for myself to smoke but i want to be able to have a few of something that isn't too heavy but has enough flavor that it doesn't taste like ***. Everyone down there either smokes cigars currently or smokes cigs/smoked cigs in the past.

suggestions?

Heavy

AJ fresh rolled
Gran Habano Vintage 2002
Park Avenue
Maybe a variety of c.com house blends

+1 on the Ccom blends. You can get enough for you and your friends for cheap, and you'll have options.

If cost isn't a factor, I would consider the Fuente Hemingway. They aren't too over-the-top on price, are medium strength (everyone in the party smokes or has and may appreciate), and do not over-power a pilsner. I like them for that sort of occasion. My 2 cents.

AVO Classic Robusto. Watch the sprint sale.

I am going to suggest the Perdomo Lot 23 because of its ability to stay lit in the damp. If you are sitting round on deck or on the river bank, this could be a good feature. But perhaps it is too flavorful for the non smokers.

For them, you might bring a couple AB Nasty Hooligans, with their mild grassy wrapper and interesting filler. Or the Cusano Xclusivo Preferido, mild, smooth, and an interesting shape.

The Room 101 Serie C conny stands out in my notes as going well with Coors. Has an extremely interesting chocolate thing going on, but with a mild wrapper.

Then again, if you are all going to be smashed, you can't beat the factory Throwout either claro or sungrown. Cheap enough to pitch in the fire, good enough to smoke, stay lit well in the damp, and smokey enough chase the skeeters. That's my campfire fave.

Enjoy.

price is a factor, but not enough of a factor to get a c.com blend or factory throwouts.
I'm thinking somewhere in the $4-7 range.
thanks for the suggestions so far.

Well, hemmingways are still in that range, for a couple sizes!

I really like brick house cigars; woody, a little spice, thick, creamy smoke, and they are comfortably in that range. Not mild, but not a powerhouse. The maduro is pretty good too.

A regular line padron? Those are fantastic! (and cheap) a huge value in my opinion. Churchills for less than $5!

i understand that, but not looking to bring private label cigars to share with others who don't realize that they are good cigars and just look at the band and think i cheaped out. Same thing with xouts.

I was confused because you said "..price is a factor, but not enough of a factor to get a c.com blend." I took that wrong, my bad.If you're friends are gonna think less of you for giving them free cigars...well, can't help there.

I know what you mean, but it's like bringing the off brand oreos to a party. they might taste exactly the same, but you are going to be looked down upon.

Rain

Yeah, I don't blame you at all.

I was going to add the CAO Gold to my recommendation!!

never tried a CAO gold. Might have to grab a few.....looking at the write up this might be just what i am looking for.

I don't have room for boxes... but I try to always have 3 or 4 on hand... I didn't care for the Gold maduro nearly as much.

perkinke

I'm relatively newly returned to cigars, but I love the Camcho connies, smooth but good flavor. the monarcha (robusto) is a little under 7 a stick.

it must run in the name because i felt the same way with the 5 vegas. the gold i like, tbe gold maduro.....not a fan.

macs-smokes

I really like the finish and the cream that are left on the palette with the Gold, but the Maduro has a different finish. I am sure it is the wrapper and I love maduros. They are two similar yet different cigars.

If looking for a good alternative to the CAO Gold, try the La Unica. They are a great smoke for the price. I do not think they are available at CCom though.
