In my infinite wisdom, I'm deciding to do the exact opposite of what I should be doing and looking at taking up smoking. I know.
I've had a love hate relationship with the hobby all my life. Generally, I have never been a smoker but smoked socially throughout my 20's and liked the feeling but never loved it. However, I've had a few cigars in my life and loved them. Culminating in my old boss taking me out to a Cigar bar in the US whilst at our San Francisco office, introducing me to decent Cigars and more importantly, how to smoke.
The last time I smoked a Cigar was around 3 years ago but whenever I walk past someone smoking one or think of it, I love the smell and feeling of relaxation they gave me. However, I'm fully aware how ****ing dangerous smoking is so my current plan is to pick up the gadgets I need (Humidor, cutter etc.) and once the Humidor is prepared, I'll buy 3 small boxes of Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2, Cohiba Siglo I and Montecristo No. 2 then start my little odyssey... By dying of lung cancer, I'm sure!
I have no plans of going in deep and imagine I'll smoke once every few months, but I've started to really desire smoking a Cigar again and fancy having my own stash. I've always liked Cohiba and the Siglo I is the one I smoked in the US and I've read that the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 is a fantastic starter cigar and the Montecristo No. 2 is one of the best ever made. So buying a small box of each will keep me going for a year!
Anyone else smoke Cigars here and have any recommendations? Or if anyone wants to scream what the **** am I doing, I'll take some of that too!
