htcocacola · 20-06-2012, 18:11

Henri wintermans half corona are a good one and easy to pick up most places

Faith+1 · 21-06-2012, 12:38

King edward specials for me. Can't beat having one with a cup of coffee

Not many I'm afraid, If you manage to find a well stocked Off Licence, they will have a Humidor on display, should be able to pick up a Decent Cuban for around a Tenner...

Have to say a Cuban flying pig, robusto, is a show finisher for me.

Aren't the flying pig cigars Nicaraguan blends?

**OldGoat** · 19-07-2012, 12:31

Yep, it's not Cuban. The filler is a blend of Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan. Nice smoke though but I'm a sucker for a maduro.

Did not know that, I got the lst couple from the Shop in Grafton St (do not want to break any rules) and i thought it was cuban.

My god they are a nice cigar. good draw and decent taste.

Have one more in the humidor.

You won't be breaking any rules by naming a shop where you purchased cigars.

I have to pay for them so until they sponsor my discreet pleasure, I aint naming them

If the shop is on Graft it kinda narrows the choice down to...1. :-)

There's 3 as far as I know. Cigar emporium, Peterson's & Fox's

nanook · 02-09-2012, 22:31

The smell of cigars and freshly ground coffee. It's like heaven.

If you could smoke one then it would be.

I'm afraid you have been! Grafton Street starts at the junction with College Green (i.e. the junction in front of Trinity's main gate), not just the pedestrianised bit.
The reason I know is that the businesses along that stretch are often eager to point out their grafton street address!
