I will try and answer some of these questions.
Where do I shop locally:
Tobacco Leaf @ 9400 South Eastern Avenue (South of I-215) (702) 897-5977
When I am out of cigars in the box or I want something else and do not feel like buying a new box or bundle, I go here. Neat little shop, prices are on par with other establishments.
Who do I mail order from:
Thompson Cigars
Good deals, good smokes once you find what you like. Sign up on the web for their specials, and wait for a brand you want to try.
Cigars International
Good deals, solid national brands. I have found some killer specials from these guys.
There are other local shops and mail order facilities but, so far these are the ones I use.
What brand do I prefer:
Well I am open to a lot of brands but if I had to say this will be the only cigar I will smoke from now on, it would have to be a Macanudo in any wrapper though I lean towards candella a lot and my ring size of choice would be Toro or Churchill.
However this would be my last cigar choice, I love many brands, flavors and styles. Currently I have been smoking Gran Habano I got from a special from CI. Found that if I am eating some cracker jacks with it, its almost addictive.
What tools do I use:
Cutters, I prefer my bullet I keep on my keyring followed by a v-notch but, any good cutter works if I do not have access to my bullet.
Lighter, I use a blue flame by Zippo and if this is not available I use wooden stick matches.
How often do I smoke:
I used to smoke 1-2 a day, including my pipe but, then I met my wife who is asthmatic and my smoking got reduced to none in the house and preferably none when she is around. So this limits me to outside fun time. I now probably smoke 2 cigars a month and I have not smoked one of my pipes in years. I do not smoke cigarettes at all. I imagine if I bought some smaller cigars I would smoke daily when I am teaching and giving the students a smoke break.
