OK, just an update...
Had a Gurka Royal Challenge today, was pretty phat. Didn't burn even so maybe wasnt the best roll or the best tobacco, but this was fat cigar ( longer then churchill and was too big to cut with a reg. cutter ) but it was really fucking smooth and mild taste. It was a light shade wrapper.
Also had a Rocky Patel Decade cigar. Dark wrapper and dark heavy tobacco and box pressed. I dont smoke much but this left me light headed and sorted buzz'd/high almost. It was a churchill and smoked REALLY fucking good.
Im still kinda fucked up typing this out. Not sure what was in it.. but shit it was good.

I bought some cohiba today ( i think these were DR though ) and I have cohiba cigarillos too.
Has anyone had any rejects? I noticed a box of "rejects" ( didnt have a brand name on them ) for like 0.75 each lol and wondered if these companies ( bigger names ) sell rejects normally for cheap as that could be a good choice for everyday.

If you bought them in the states they are most def from DR and nothing even close to the original. I actually can't stand the Dominican version. Back in high school we used to sell them as cubans for ridiculous profits.
Rejects could have any number of problems that will tarnish the experience. You mentioned earlier in thread about a cigar that was hard to smoke, that should have been a reject. You will have all kinds of problems withe the rejects your better off not smoking at all if you have to smoke those.
I dont smoke very often these days so when I do I want the best.
I love rejects (commonly called "seconds") and keeping them in a separate humidor, or in a specific section of one of my larger humidors.
I give these to buddies who never smoke cigars, who will typically pewep-lip any cigar I give them and will only smoke half of it. If they don't know cigars, or don't have a developed palate, it's not going to matter what type of cigar you give them.
I'll also smoke them myself if I plan on dickin around... Kind of like drinking Coors Light while mowing the lawn (or in my case, a white person's lawn) versus sitting down to enjoy a Guinness on tap.
GEORGE BURNS From an impromptu singing gig in a candy store at the age of seven, to his enduring partnership with Gracie Allen, to solo stand-up comedy acts into his late 90s, Burns kept American audiences in stitches through most of the twentieth century. Invariably, he smoked his trustworthy El Producto cigars during his act, not because he couldn't afford a more expensive cigar, but because they stayed lit on stage longer than the more tightly packed Havana smokes. "If you have to stop your act to keep lighting your cigar, the audience goes out," he once cracked. The legendary star of vaudeville, radio, TV and film resurrected his movie career in the 1970s with starring roles in The Sunshine Boys and Oh, God! Burns, who lived to 100, credited his 10- to 15-cigar-a-day habit over a 70-year span with not only keeping him spry on stage but also with helping him outlive his physician. "If I had taken my doctor's advice and quit smoking when he advised me to," Burns quipped at age 98, "I wouldn't have lived to go to his funeral."
I had smoked a bunch of the cohibas from DR and never really liked them, don't think I ever even finished one. Then I got a real cuban cohiba while playing golf last summer and finished that one and was craving another one to light up right away. Huge difference! Must find more...
been smoking Punch churchills, been a nice budget cigar for everyday.
still liking my ashtons and rocky patels though.

My go-to is the Padron 1926
Other good ones are pretty much anything by Gurkha (esp Black Dragon, Beauty, Beast, Titan, and the cognac-infused ones), and the Camacho Triple Maduro (take it easy on this one, go with smaller cigars to start...not a good choice if you want something mild).
A great starter cigar is Ashton's Maduro. You can go milder with any of their natural wrappers as well.
Oops, didn't see you posted about the Ashtons.
