Thompsons is known for its bait and switch tactics....stay away from them
I'm a fan of the JR alternatives and stop by the JR's in Burlington every few months. I've tried tons of different cigars over the years and for the money the JR's Alternative to the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature has been my consistent favorite. I actually prefer the "Short Story" version of this cigar but they are hard to find and expensive. The "Short Story" is the same blend as the signature but is about 4 inches long. It's a 20-30 minute smoke at the most and that's perfect for me.
My absolute favorite is the Romeo y Julieta #4 but they are also hard to find and expensive and JR's doesn't have an alternative. I also like the Partagas #2 and JR's does have an inexpensive alternative for that one.
I use a piece of tupperware to store by cigars. To keep the humidity up I wet a small piece of clean sponge with water and a little scotch or bourbon. Does the trick and adds a little flavor.
Love this topic.

excuse the ignorance, not a big cigar man but thinking of getting a box for an upcoming golf trip. Would you recommend the EMS or Maduro wrapper? Is 41.95 for a box of 20 a good deal?
sorry for not clarifying.. It was the JP cigar mentioned above (Alternative to the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature)
newbie alert again. Is there an advantage to a shorter v/s longer cigar? looks like the ones that were mentioned above come in 4, 5, and 6. Thoughts? I could google all this but appreciate the real world, cut to the chase advice
Best of the JR alts are the alternatives to the behikes...

Just bought a 20 spot of these for my golf trip. Thanks for the help selecting. I'm sure we will enjoy them!
