My usual is a Gurkha Cuban Legacy, which is quite good, especially for only about two bucks a stick.
I like some of the more expensive stuff, which for me is anything over six bucks a stick.
I recently had a Graycliff Double Espresso and it was terrific. Probably the second-best cigar I've ever had. If they didn't go for $18-20 each I'd love to get a box.
There are some deals to be had on Cigar.com and other sites, but even with deals the good stuff is usually beyond my price range. Every once in a while they have a sampler pack available for a good price, which is how I got the Graycliff.
Oh, well... Back to my $2 cigars, which are fine. :-)

Well Congratulations anyway on the cigar. The title made me think you had a birth announcement :).

Have you taken a look at Cigar Sprint (Cigar.com)? It is always free shipping and they even put a humi pack in with the sticks. As a little guy sprints across the screen, the price drops. You have a "buy" button and hit it when you think the price range is something you can handle. You do get a chance to confirm in case you hit buy by accident, but you should confirm quickly or someone else will get the deal.
I recently made a killer buy on 10 Man O' War Ruinations for $29.70.
I would suggest you check it out for a little while to get a feel for the deals and what price range they are hitting at. I found it better to try late at night when there is not as much competition.
The deals go very quick and the little sprinting man cracks the grand kids up! There is a huge variety of cigars, humidors, lighters, etc. The current deal only is offered to the quickest buyer, but you will see repeats if you are on there long enough.
Check it out and good luck on killer deals!

I've ordered from Cigar.com a number of times, but I never noticed that before. I am definitely going to check it out. Thanks!

Cat_Doc, thanks for the heads up! I went on Cigar Sprint this morning and got a Dirty Dozen II sampler (Samplers (http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewCigar.asp?prod=SP-CIGASST150)) that normally goes for about 40 bucks, and I got one for $22.29 and zero shipping cost.
Nice!

That is a great deal and there are a few top shelf cigars in there! Let me know how you like the Ruination, please. (Hint, save it for after a good meal, it has a little kick to it.)
The MOW Ruination is my current favorite, but I am really getting fond of the La Herencia Cubana Core and the San Lotano Oval. All three are AJ Fernandez creations. He is on fire right now...I'm glad he left Cuba!
As a matter of fact, the San Miguel, Morro Castle, MOW Virtue, Ave Maria and Diesel are all AJ creations.
The Ave Maria is a highly rated medium, and the Virtue is a super clean mild that can be an easy morning cigar with coffee. The rest are medium to full bodied.
The Padilla Miami is another top shelf stick. You did good.
As mentioned, I'd love to hear your reviews on the sticks, but I strongly suggest some dedicated quiet time to bond with the Ruination. I really enjoy it with a couple of fingers of a good single malt scotch, but it would also go great with a port. I've been wanting to pair it with coffee, however, I enjoy the scotch combo so much I always blow that idea off. LOL
Killer deal, brother, killer deal. Happy to see you nail a nearly $100 MRSP for a pittance. :thumbsup:

There are several good Man of Wars, with the Ruination being my favorite of the bunch, of course. The Ave Marias are decent, but nothing that really stirs me.
I've been really big on the Graycliff Presidential (blue with gold label). While a $25 cigar, I have been able to routinely get them for $25 for a 5 pack on cigarbid.com.
I recently got a really tasty Rocky Patel Royal Vintage (purple band).
I am really looking forward to heading up to Toronto next week. I know a nice place that has some amazing Cuban, errr... I mean "Canadian" cigars, being Cuban tobacco rolled in downtown Toronto by Cuban ladies. :)
