I like all of the Opus x cigars, they are hard to find out here but they are really good. The Fuente Hemingway series are all good smokes also. Let me know what you think of the Saint Luis Rey, I have never tried one.

I just got done playing some twilight golf and smoke the SLR G Robusto...very nice draw and reminds me of a La Gloria Cubano but not as overpowering. It's a solid smoke for $5. I like it and to me it seems to be on the medium to the lower rung of full bodied.

PS. It was beautiful out there at twilight...sometimes a nice quiet round by yourself with a good smoke is downright relaxing and a good capper to the day to day b.s...I LOVE daylight savings time.

Thanks for the info I will have to pick some up next time i go get cigars. I understand and agree with you on a cigar and a nice quiet round of golf, no distractions except nature.

I also always ask my group if I don't know the people but again my neighbors probably think the same thing because I smoke a stick almost every night. And for the most part I stand to the back or side of my group while smoking.

It is getting harder and harder to enjoy a good stick in public because everyone complains, about the smoke. Even living in Vegas where you would think everything is a go, it is worse now than ever. Can't even smoke at some bars...If they ban smoking on the golf course then...what next my own back yard.

Whether you choose to drink while playing, smoke while playing, both or none of the above as long as you are being considerate to your group then it really should not matter.

I find excessive cussing, other vocal outbursts (while I'm in midswing or putt), unraked traps, and excessive slow play are more offensive to my on course sensibilities.

Long ashes to you...

A plea to those of you who simply MUST smoke the smelly things on the course, please think of those you are playing with and stay downwind. Even when I was a smoker I couldn't stand cigars, and now as an ex-smoker they are a particular irritant to me. One of the things I love about being on the course is the clean fresh air, and cigar smoke is not one of nature's perfumes....

I can respect what you are saying here but, we have just as much right to smoke those semlly things, as you put it, on the course, as you do to not smoke them. The problem I have with people that ask me to quit smoking my cigar is, most of them are the same people that will walk into a bar and inhale second hand smoke from hundreds, or even thousands, of cigarettes all night long and not complain at all. Just does not make sense to me. Now, I am not saying this is you, just speaking from what I know. I too ask the people I am playing with if I do not know them. Now on to the Opus X, I feel they are much better with at least a years worth of age on them. I do not smoke them very much just because I feel that there are cigars out there that are just as good, and I would smoke everyday, and are cheaper. They are just not worth the $$$$ to me.

I generally get more compliments on the scent of my stogie than complaints, particularly at the range. (10:1)

If someone asks politely, I will move to another spot or moderate my smoking at the range. If someone with asks me with a condescending tone if it ever occurs to me that the smoke might bother people, I answer "yes" and tee up another ball.

Ah! A great subejct!!! For me, on the golf course, a short smoke is a better idea...so the Monte Christo No. 5 is just the right size, lasting only 3 holes max....but the best smoke for me after a round, is the Ramon Allones Special Selection. It's a robusto in size, and draws like an open door. here, we only smoke Cuban.

Yes! RASS is my favorite! As well as Partagas SD4s. Cuban only as well!

I just open my humi and take whatever I feel like smoking, plus a couple of extras incase someone else wants one..

I played with group last weekend, three guys two of whom I already knew.. Met them at the first tee, we all teed off got the green in two.. Had to wait for other young guy in the group so I decided to light my stogie. Offered the other guys one both of the gents I knew took one and the younger guy was freaking out about the smell how bad it was for your health etc etc.. I tee up and hit my ball to the green (par 3) wait for the other guys the younger guy is up. Slices the hell out of the ball he flips then yells at me that my cigar is bothering him and he cant play. Sorry I say and move a good distance away, he takes his second swing slice again.. As were walking he bitching and moaning about this and that, then all of a sudden he lights a cig?!?!?!?! I ask what about health issues and all that crap u said at the first tee??!?!?!?! he saids nothing and goes on.. needless to say I will never play with him again and I made sure whenever I puffed hit went right to him..

What a hypocritical Ahole... Lit up a Carlos Torano, La Gloria Cubano, and 2 Partagas Maximo cigars this weekend...a great weekend to enjoy a smoke and swing a club in Florida. Hope everyone had a safe and golf filled weekend!

Right now, I am kinda stuck on Hoyo Excalibur Limiteds and Fonseca Sun-Grown Cedars (No. 4). I also like (guilty pleasure, I know, and not the choice of the macho cigar smoker) Kahlua cigars once in a great while.

  • 3 weeks later...
Just heads up on a new cigar I tried that was really well made and a good smoke...Cuban Imports Exile (maduro wrap/robusto)...medium to full bodied...good draw...so far all the sticks I've smoked burned evenly.

It's made in Nicaragua...

Cool, I will have to look and see if we have those in Vegas...Living in FL you must get some good sticks coming through there.

Still wonder if when Castro dies if the embargo will be lifted...I have only ever smoked three cubans in my life and two out of the three were awesome and the third was just good.

To be honest with you, I've smoked about 4 real cuban cigars myself (2 in Canada and 2 in the Carribean). They were good but the Dominican cigars seemed just as good of a stick to me...maybe my palate isn't refined enough to know the difference yet.

I just picked up a grab bag of single sticks at my local smoke shop just to broaden my cigar horizon: Ashton Maduro (robusto) Partagas 1845 Limited Reserve (cifuente) Monticristo Natural (robusto) H Upman 1844 Cameroon Corona #5 Macanudo Vintage 2000 CAO Mx2 Maduro I'm having a poker/smoker/draft watch BBQ saturday, while the wifeys spend our $$$ at the outlet mall...AND golf in the morning...lifes good!

    • Day 85 - Played 9. Driver was solid, approach shots were pushed, chipping/pitching was better, putting was rough. 
    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
