My favorite: The regular line - Padron Maduro 2000/3000 and on occasion 4000.

The 'Smoke Ring' in Webster...excellent, cigar choices and people.

I know (or used to) everyone who were customers. At that point, I smoked at least 3 to 5 cigars a day. Every day. The customers ranged from ordinary joes, to symphonic conductors, politicians, MD's, Kinky Friedman, cops from uniform to detective, gourmet chefs, champion shotgunners, and on and on. Everyone a good guy. Women didn't come in often, except when accompanied by husband or boyfriend. Some women talk a good game of how much they like cigars, but it was my experience they just wanted to fit in...I never encountered a real 'honest to goodness' female cigar smoker.

I can't smoke anymore and haven't for plus 5 years. So, I don't go anymore.

This is how much I miss it: I have dreams of smoking cigars.

Of course, it wasn't just the smoking of cigars, which was paramount, but the company was almost always terrific.

My doc likes cigars/drinking - he put it this way: "You've got to live a little!"

I asked him to write a prescription for cigars (to keep the wife quiet LOL!), he wouldn't go that far though....


So - to answer the OP's question - YES, I LOVE cigars!! I don't see what area you're from but my recommendation is to find a local cigar shop/lounge/cigar-friendly place and enjoy and meet folks with the same love of it that you have. When I'm in town (DFW/Grapevine area) I hold a weekly Tuesday night thing called "Cigars n Racecars" either at a local cigar-friendly pub (Tap In) or else on my patio. It's for racing/car enthusiasts and cigar aficionados to enjoy. Open invite - just ask.
