Montecristo #2. The Cuban version, of course.

I enjoy a cigar on special occasions, maybe 5-6 a year. Onyx Reserve is another good one...

No, I bought my last few in Europe and enjoyed them at a wedding I went to there... I never have the courage to try to get any through customs. Luckily I have friends who do. :)

How is it that something that smells that bad can even be smoked? Landfills smell better.

Montecristo #2 (given one by a friend who went to Cuba)
Cohiba Espledidos Julieta #2 (was given one on my university graduation)

But I haven't smoked a good cigar in a five years or so... :(

I smoked one when I was 13. I threw up for hours.

The smell makes me nauseous.

it was actually kind of good, it was real mild, and soft tasting

Last cigar I remember smoking was at a Jimmy Buffet concert in the parking lot. I had had way too many blender drinks but at the time, a bikini clad hottie with a Home Depot apron on selling cigars seemed appropriate. I paid $5 for it is all I can say.

BTW, it was one of those "two pockets on a string nail holder type things", not the big orange coverup type Home Depot apron.

Eh, yeah. Maybe a bit. I usually keep anywhere from 300 to 1000 cigars on hand at any given time. It's been a hobby for me since I was 18.

More of a connoisseur than a collector (as I smoke them, not look at them), and you'd be surprised what kind of "high end" cigars you can find at local shops, but they don't come cheap.

whats the most you have paid?

Travelin' Jack

For a single cigar? I think somewhere around $50, but I'd pay more for certain ones. Most cigars I smoke on a routine basis (three or four times a week) run for around $5-6 a pop.

I, like every experienced cigar smoker, do not inhale. I have noticed no impact on my cardiovascular system. That is not to say that it is not without health risks (primarily throat or mouth cancer), but as far as your lungs and cardio go, there shouldn't be any problems with having an occasional cigar.
