if you get interested, start with something on the gentler side, and dont go cheap. a bad cigar will turn you off of it forever if its your first one. dont touch anything like the Romeo Y julieta - thats a great smoke, but only if you can appreciate it - its medium bodied so it will probably turn a non smoker away. I'd avoid churchills, and go for something like a Corona, petite corona, conchita, or a laguito.

you'll want to get something more aromatic, and smooth. the one i mentioned before, the Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur would fit that bill for sure - tho they can be annoying to find these days. i don't see stores carrying them anymore and i have to go online for them.


just because i recognize im speaking greek:

theres five components to a cigars name

  • Shape, size, color, brand, name

Shape size and color are all shared among all cigars.

Heres some shapes

  • Paraejo - most common one you'll see, and is what he is smoking here.
  • Torpedo - another very common shape
  • Presidente - fairly uncommon, you dont see many people other than enthusiasts going after these
  • Perfecto - Exactly like its name implies - this is my favorite.

Heres some Sizes

  • Churchill - generally considered to be the ideal cigar size.
  • Cigarillo - these are what you see sold in the convenience store mostly.
  • All of the sizes i listed off for you before (Corona, petite corona, conchita, or a laguito.)
  • There's a ton more sizes, but these are the ones youll most commonly find

Heres the colors

  • Oscuro - (black)
  • Maduro - (Dark brown)
  • Colorado Maduro - (medium brown)
  • Colorado - (Brown)
  • Colorado Claro - (light brown)
  • Claro - (very light brown)
  • Double claro - (light tan)

now a few brands

  • Hoyo De Monterrey
  • Macanudo
  • Cohiba
  • Rocky patel
  • Cao Brazilia
  • There's a TON more, but only about ten or so worth mentioning as a 'go to' brand, tho you can find some good ones that are off brand.

and lastly, is the name of the cigar,
