I smoke these regularly:
Onyx Reserve
CAO Brazilia
Several of the Rocky Patel
Several of the Carlos Torano
Navarro Maduro (specifically the torpedo - 7 1/2 X 62 I think)
Ghurka Masterblender (watch out as I don't care for most Ghurka's)
...then there are the obvious over-priced smokes that I only buy occasionally such as Cohiba and Macanudo, etc.
If I keep it fairly moderate I have no problem with my asthma.

Oh Yeah, and up here in Canada I get the good stuff:)
My favourite smokes are robustos, Partagas SeriesD No4 and Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure #2. If I have less time it's a Trinidad Reyes, more time and/or a special occasion calls for a Montecristo A for sure.
I only have a couple a month, that's why I smoke the good stuff. I buy mine online from Cigar Chief, it's on a Mohawk reserve up here in Ontario, so no gov't taxes.
I used to work at a buddy's cigar shop on Sundays just for fun, got to learn a lot about cigars and meet some interesting folks. One time, the Havana House rep (the Canadian importer of Cubans) brought a grade 9 roller in from Cohiba and he made us all pyramides which were unavailble to the public at the time. Also have very fond memories of slowly smoking away the shop's stash of Cuban Davidoffs including Dom Perignon when Davidoff ceased Cuban production.

Yup, mail order is the way to go. I forgot to mention Hoya de Monterrey Excaliburs...
You Canadian folk get awesome cigars (although I do think the Cubans are over-priced...).

They cost (literally) ten times as much in the UK as they cost in Spain, and I haven't been to Spain (or the Canaries) for about 10 years, so no.
I had a Virginian cigar once. It had almost as much flavor as air does.

XHarp -- LOL!
A friend and I killed a bottle of Scotch between us and each smoked an Onyx maduro a while back. I thought I'd found THE cigar. Turns out it only works with the Scotch.
I smoke a pipe occasionally -- more affordable, many more varieties, smaller doses. It also makes me look even more debonair.

I'm allergic to tobacco smoke. It's not as badly as when I was a kid, but still pretty bad. I was hospitalized a few times when I was younger. That, moth balls, and catalpa trees. I'd mainline sugar though, if I could.

ill smoke your blunt but i cant see wasting a good cigar,Now you can crush all them fruit flavor things they try to call a cigar all you want did you guys here about the 775% taxes increase bill there trying to push,on pipe tobacco they did this with cigars last year,but i think it got shut down or lowered but the prices still went up some schippe or something,anyway there doing it this year for pipe tobacco,Ive allready sent a form letter to my congressman,I ALSO HEARD ALL FLAVOR TOBACCO IS TO BE ILEAGLE,Im not sure how that effects pipe tobaccco but it is flavored sometimes,and i dont like cheap flavored cigars but if you want to buy one why not?

nice, nice. I'm only a special occasion type guy myself, couple times a month max. My choice right now is Romeo y julieta's no 2 only because i can afford them on a uni lifestyle and there the most readily available where I live, but i'm taking a trip up to the cigar shop in the city today. Looking at The Monte Cristo no 1's maybe.

its weird here in the states Pot it getting more legal as we speak in its own way from place to place,but there wanting to tax tobacco so much that it will allmost destroy the industrie,Like i said im not a ciggerrett smoker but do smoke cigars and pipe tobacco and pot,and the pipe tobacco is real cheap rigght now,but if your a ciggerrett smoker or exspecially a cigar smoker,it costs so much more money than smoking pot.minus any legal exspecses that pot might cause in some areas,

Hell -- it's all bad for you. I don't have a nicotine habit from the occasional pipe smoking, but I do really limit it. Last time was longer ago than I can remember -- say 2 months.
@hobo -- I like the burley blends too, but the VA/Pers and VAs always call me back. Current fav is Astleys 109, but also like Haddo's Delight and St. James Woods. The burley blend at the top of my list is Barbary Coast.
Don't do that other stuff. It's illegal in these parts.

I used to smoke a pipe tobacco. I don't any more. I have a good collection of pipes if anyone wants to buy them. Got a 1936 kaywoodie, a 1950 kaywoodie, 2 bari's, 2 aldo velanai, 2 old petersons, and a whole lot more. Also, one pipe I made myself that is a real bird's eye prize.

I use to smoke very heavily when I was in the middle-east. It is part of the culture to smoke a Hookah and drink tea when you visit someone. Those bowls bore interesting smokables.

See my post above, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #2 is one fine cigar. You should enjoy them immensely. Quite easy to find reviews on them, just use Google.
