There's something about a Cohiba. A big greasy pyramide that 45 min later leaves you sitting in the chair staring up at the ceiling in a daze. And yet your throat isn't burning--your mouth feels like getting pickled in cognac and cigar smoke is the most natural thing in the world.

But for just starting out, you can't go wrong with the ubiquitous Monte #4. Sure the make sometimes sucks, but it's a perfect example of how Cuban tobacco is just that much better. You can find boxes for as little as $100. Show me a $4 Dominican cigar that can hold up to even a simple little Monte #4!
