I would like some recommendations on cigars. Something short and with a sweet flavor. I'm also considering giving pipe smoking a try, so any input there would be most appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Try a Java, has hint of chocolate/coffee flavor to it... for a non-descript sweet touch, try a Gispert maduro robusto size (larger sizes lose that sweetness), also Baccarat by Sosa I believe has a sweet cap on i...  happy hunting/smoking murph...

;)

Thanks Steve. I figured you, more than anybody else, would have some ideas.

partagas lusintanias have a suggared tip, but they are huge with a 48 ring gauge and around 7 inches long. but is a stronger mild. you could also try out some macanudos (sp) those are good to begin with. Try a robusto size out first . srh_pres did know you were a cigar man, i worked a few years in the grove down here in miami at a cigar shop.

Had an Arturo Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8 this evening. I rather enjoyed sitting outside my barracks in a lawn chair, having a pleasant smoke and watching the world go by:).

Last night was a Cuesta-Rey Centrofino Belicoso no. 11. I didn't like the flavor of it as well as the Arturo Fuente. I have a Cuesta-Rey Centrofino Pyramid no. 9 or a Cuesta-Rey Centrofino Robusto no. 7 for tonight. I also picked up a tin of Cuesta-Rey Cameo's to try. My selection here on post is mainly those two brands with a few others thrown in. Any suggestios for those two brands?

Try a Fuente Don Carlos/black band I think or if they sell them...try a Diamond Crown which are made by Cuesta Reyyourock.gif

Thanks Tony. I'm not sure if they have those, but I'll have a look around and see if I can find them. There's 3 different places I can check here on post. I'll have to see if I can get out to an actual cigar shop this weekend when me and my buddy get together.

Hey MurphyJ,  if you get a chance, and like flavored cigars, try Cojimar's line of cigars.  I've smoked them for close to seven years when I want something in the mild and sweet range.  Here's a link to their site :
