Yeah that's why I'm not a cigar guy anymore. I enjoyed them just before they went trendy in the early 90s. Then the same brands that I had been paying $3.00 each for were over $6.00.Nothing worse than a hangover with cigar breath. I guess I'm not a cigar guy.
My problem was that I like the potent dark smokes like Punch Maduros and a few by Fuente that I can't recall now. Oh yeah, Ashton Cabinet Selection was a good one. Granted this was 97\98 and none of these could be available now. The other problem is that I can't smoke cigars without drinking Scotch or Irish Whiskey. So I would blow a bunch of money and wake up in a fog with a bad taste in my mouth that lasted all day.
