    I thought this needed some space of it's own. Plus, I don't want to have to go find it again.

    On that note, I need to find a couple good mild cigars to take to the beach.

    Look for anything Arturo Fuentes Hemingway line. The Hemingway short story is one of the best you'll find and usually at a very reasonable price. The others are good too.

    I feel bad suggesting the V. It's an awesome cigar, but I wouldn't describe it as light.

    Oliva Serie G and Romeo and Julieta Reserva Real are good light sticks.

    Dammit, there I go again. Don't buy "The Edge". Its not light either.

    Anything from Macanudo is fine. Well, not really. A little wind and the salt air and you might as well have a Marlboro Ultra light and a Michelob Ultra.

    Do you like "flavors"? Drew Estates "Acid" line has some neat stuff. Not flavored, but infused with botanicals or something like that.

    On flavors, my uncle likes the Tatiana Nightcap. It's a chocolate flavored cigar. Not like a black and mild or night owl. It's a decent cigar with a flavor.

    Beats me. Black and mileds were the go too in college. Or backwoods. Or Swisher Sweets. But we were drinking Natural Light so I don't put a lot of stock in anything I remember from then.

    Ok, I don't want a cigarette. I want a legit cigar. Just not a gigantor face punch of flavor that's going to take me three hours to smoke.

    But ... can you get a cigar there for afterwards?

    This site is much nicer to navigate than the other one.

    WOW! I thought "Oliva Serie V" would be a cigar. Like one cigar. Wrong. What's the difference between double robusto, double toro, churchill extra, etc? Size and shape? It's all the same tobacco within that type? I 'spose I could go check out the Cigar 101 threads...
    How about the Olivia Serie V Lancero? I think I'll just get a couple of those.

    Oh, ok. I thought you were saying you had a Serie V and was exclaiming it was more than one cigar.

    Shapes and sizes, you don't need to know them all. I like robustos are they are common. From there a toro is a longer robusto. A corona is a thin robusto. A double corona is a long corona. Petit corona is smaller. Corona gordo is larger. Petit robusto... From there learn lonsdale and Churchill and the shapes perfecto and torpedo and you know more than enough to get along just fine.
