Rant: Cigar Bums

If you go through my vino temp you will find mostly higher end cigars. But that doesn't mean i don't like cheap smokes. the CAO Criollo is an excellent cheaper smoke along with the italia and brazilia. The CFO's before they stopped making them, amazing smokes.

I also had roommates who knew nothing about cigars but thought they did. I made sure to keep cheapier smokes that i enjoyed but had no problem with seeing them only half smoked and put down. I would never give them one of the high end sticks because i know their palates haven't developed for cigars yet which isn't their fault. To them the 3-5 dollar cigars were just as much enjoyed as a 10-15 dollar cigar would have been.

I've had very good luck gifting complete nOoBs with Padron 2K's. A very decent cigar, won't break the bank, and I won't choke them if they ash it 1/3 of the way in.....

Any experienced smokers get asked what they like, and anyone that shows up at my house gets to smoke anything I have. Always have, always will. Unless they show up every day....
