re: Let's talk Cigars

What are some good Cigar Shops around Baton Rouge and new orleans? Im from BR but live put of state and recently got hooked. Heading to Final Four with my baws for a bachelor trip... poor baw.

I like cigars.

Of my latest cigar exploits, a few impressions:
My Father Pasión...with the pale green label. Started nicely, but like many Pepin Garcia offerings, it got quite "black-peppery" about halfway down, and I couldn't dial it back, or keep it from burning hot. First half was really good however I would not pay whatever it is they ask for this cigar.

Don Pepin Blue 20th Anniversary, was wonderful, beginning to end, and NOT that in-your-face peppery. I would gladly have another, especially if someone gives it to me like this one. Don't think I'm going to pay whatever anyone is asking for these.

I recently purchased, from Cigar Page...check out their sales...a fiver, and now a tenner, of La Flor Dominicana Suave. It's their original line from 1997, basically, and they are delicious. These are fairly mild, but Oh so good. The five pack were coronas, and the 10 pack is the Insurrectos, a Lonsdale size. These will be difficult not to smoke in one fell swoop.

Cheers, fellas.

Put me down as a Perdomo fan. I smoked plenty of their Connecticut. But their Maduros are exquisite.
