I thought I would bump this thread to get it going again.

I am a newb when it comes to cigar knowledge but I have had the Rocky Patel, and found it to be a smooth cigar. I have been sticking with the Romeo y Juliete Reserva Real Churchill as the standby. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try in this price point?

I feel a bit left out. I've never puffed a cigar before. Am I missing something - a lot of guys seem to do it?

Ahh! Peer Pressure! I don't smoke, but my dad used to all the time and I've grown to like the smell somewhat. Therefore, I don't mind the smell unless it's really strong. If it's really strong then it will literally make my eyes tear, which is no fun at all. The thing I can't stand is cigarettes on the golf course. My dad recently quit, so I don't have to deal with it anymore (just text messaging and going on the internet with his stupid iphone, something I also need to deal with while he is driving...), but even if someone just finished teeing off you can smell it. The worst smelling cigarette is by far Parliament, I mean at least Marlboros smell like tobacco! If you smoke Parliaments, PLEASE don't smoke them on the course! A little Off topic, but my dad has a gigantic humidor with at least 250 cigars (mostly cuban) in it. He almost never smoked, and recently has done so less and less. Now he has quit smoking. So now we just have this humidor filled with cigars for decaration. Oh, and I remember as a kid (6ish) he'd take me with him to the cigar store when he'd buy the cubans. I never realized what was going on at the time, but now I think it's awesome that I saw that for some reason. I also remember a time when we were about to go into a hockey game and he decided to smoke in the car. I didn't want to leave alone (I was very young), especially since it was freezing out). So with closed windows, he lights up, and I'm begging him to stop and I'm coughing up a lung, but he tells me to suck it up. So yeah, I have some good experiences and some traumatic experiences with cigars, ha!

Easy now, we wouldn't want that to get around...especially if there are monkeys around.

You have yourself 2 wonderful cigars there. I would suggest trying the CAO Italia, the Cuesta Rey Pyramid #9 or the Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente Maduro. My persoanl preference is to have them AFTER the round though so you can enjoy your golf and then your cigar. Try it with a nice Dalmore Cigar Malt scotch too.

My wife just got me a humidor and a box of J.L. SALAZAR Y HERMANOS RESERVA ESPECIAL ROBUSTO CIGARS, never had them so I hope they are good.

I also have some Montecristo which appear to be #3 but I dont know for sure. They were given to me out of the box so I dont know. Maybe I can post the label and you vertern smokers could help me identify. I enjoyed these though.

I dont smoke on the course all of the time. It kind of just depends on who I am with and what my mood is.

I like a more medium to medium-full bodied cigar for the golf course. I like the Ashton Cabinet Series and the Arturo Fuente Hemingway. I save fuller bodied cigars, like my favorite Diamond Crown Maximus, for after the round or at home.

I like any cigar made by Arturo Fuente. The Hemingway's are always nice (Black band please), and the "Short Stories" are always nice for a "quick" smoke. I also really like the "Curley Heads", They have the same tobacco inside (albeit pieces parts) and the price is really right at about TWO BUCKS!!!!

My wife got me a 25 ct. humidor for Christmas with a Monte Cristo 2, Ashton, Olivera, and a Rocky Patel.

I played yesterday and had the Ashton. It was pretty good, but I still prefer the Rocky and Romeo y Julieta, which are a few bucks less.

Where do most of you get your cigars from? Retail tobacco stores or the Internet? If you get them from the Internet, can you recommend some reputable sites?

I buy mine locally. I don't really buy in bulk since I don't smoke that often (1-2 times a week).

If I buy from the internet, it's from Cigars International ( www.cigarsintl.com ). That have a great selection, quick delivery, and good customer service.
Doesn't leave a whole lot left to ask for...

I always buy some curly heads and then bring them to the course so I can offer a decent cigar to whoever ends up in my foursome without giving them a $5-$10 smoke.

For a limited time only 4 Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Reals shipped to your door for $7.95. Every one of these pups sell for over $5.00 retail. I tried this website and just received four fresh ones. It is legit and a good quality cigar.

      ShotScope LM1 ($200 Launch Monitor/Speed Radar)

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By Shindig · Posted

      Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
