Hey "DrumsAndBeer". If you haven't tried it, I would try the Jaime Garcia by My Father cigars. It's got a decent amount of peppery spice and oaky richness. It has a lot of flavor and it's not super heavy. Medium at best. If you can get your hands on it, try the Jaime Garcia TAA edition...

Sounds like it could be interesting. It also sounds like it could be a bit overwhelming. Drew Estate makes a a cigar called the Kentucky Fire Cured or KFC. It's not bad, but I find it a little one note. The "fire curing" washes out the natural flavor of the cigar tobacco in my opinion.

Hello Neil! Roth is right, the Ashton Heritage is a delicious cigar and worth a try, unfortunately it is no longer made with a Cameroon wrapper. They started making it with an Ecuadorean Habano wrapper. Along those lines though, a tad milder, Arturo Fuente's Don Carlos is a great smoke with a...

Thanks guys! I'm happy to be here.

Hi! My name's Riley. I am a tobacconist at UpDown Cigar in Chicago, IL. I love looking for good deals and unique pipes, both new and used. I have a BBB Sitter, Billiard Meerschaum, Maestro de Paja Full Bent, and a Savinelli Rhodesian. I'm looking to make my next purchase a Ser Jacopo Canadian...
