I smoke factory throw outs pretty regularly. They are lot cheaper for one. And many are pretty decent actually. I have been told that the one I am smoking tonight is actually by a popular manufacturer, but I will keep their name out for now. There is a reason why factory throw-outs are with out labels. But on the other hand would I have continued to purchase them if I did not know they were from a leading manufacturer? But anyway...My question is...is there a such thing as a legit cigar smoker if you smoke factory throw-outs, house blends or a brand name? But I guess that's like asking which individual likes cake more, the one who eats the store brand or the one who eats the name brand. But I have to admit, there is nothing like buying that cigar you like with its beautiful case and impressive label. I guess it's like a name brand handbag from a leading retailer. You get quality, insurance, longevity and it looks great. It exemplifies status. And it's like a perfect treat, as a result of the fruits of your labor. And I could understand that. But what if you are like me. I have several name brand handbags. But I don't wear them everyday. I guess there is so many ways to look at this whole cigar legitimacy argument. But if you love cigars, you are entitled to smoke what you want. And you can enjoy them in any manner you want. If you decide to light it with a regular match as oppose to a wooden match, it's your choice. If you decide to light it with a Bic lighter as oppose to a butane lighter or torch lighter, it's its your choice. I think the cigar enthusiast would prefer that you know true cigar etiquette. But if you do something different, then it's a matter of choice. But that's another argument amongst cigar enthusiasts. Trust me, I would rather you choose proper etiquette too. :)
Some of my cigar favorites are Gurkha Beauty, Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Connecticut, Kristoff Maduro, , Monte Cristo White Label, Don Rigo's Biaggio of course ( there was a Maduro Woman blend by Don Rigo), Carbonell (local blend), La Tradicion Series P, Gurkha Legend, Gurkha Beast, and La Gloria Cubana Series R and many more.
Cheers
