Polk Tribute Cigars

[John Deaux VII]

Anyone seen or tried these? Is there even a remote chance they are worth $17 a stick?

I’m pretty much over my cigar smoking days, but I’ll admit…that is a damn cool collectable

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say those cigars are not great. But I want that.

For some reason, I always assumed Ron smoked Roi-Tan cigars.

I'm guessing they are mass produced by the guys from Louisiana and put in private label wrappers and humidors, so I doubt it. They have multiple teams and companies they do it for

I'm a big cigar fan so when I saw these released I bought a box. I smoked one when Oak was announced as the new coach. That's the only one I've smoked and it didn't blow me away. Not bad, but not on par with what I'm used to smoking Cool collectible though, awesome box. I'll burn one whenever State gives me a reason to celebrate.

Sounds like you have a really good humidor.

I'm an avid cigar smoker and just at a glance those cigars look like a harsh smoke. To be a box press the filler looks really loose from the pictures. Also not a fan of the Mexican wrapper with a mixed source filler. This it is a promotional label, budget cigar made to a price point not quality.

A good novelty to put in the humidor but probably not a great daily driver. I would buy a single stick just to save the band.

I sometimes pretend to like cigars, so I would definitely smoke one if someone offered.

I’ve been smoking an occasional cigar since I gave up cigarettes Jan 1. What kind do you guys smoke that are good. I’ve had a couple of Acid Blondie Belicoso’s that are tasty. I have no idea if they are good cigars though. They cost about 10-12 bucks at Total Wine.

Don’t buy anything more expensive if you like those

Every time I see this thread title I see “ Pork Tribute Cigars” and I strongly consider taking up smoking.

When I want a great stick, my go-to's are the 1964 anniversary series Padron, Le Bijou by My Father, really any My Father cigar is a good stick, I like The Judge also. Rocky Patel makes tons of options, some really outstanding ones like the ALR (aged, limited, rare) 2nd edition, and the Rocky Patel 60 that he created for his 60th birthday. I've got a bunch of OpusX in the humidor too, they're good smokes but I think they're more sought after because they're hard to find, they're also the only Dominican puro's to my knowledge.

For a budget stick I'll smoke a LA Aroma DE Cuba MI More, a Romeo y Julieta 505 Nicaragua,

I'm a big fan of Nicaraguan cigars. My advice to someone just getting into cigars is to buy sample packs from the large online retailers (I used Mike's Cigars) and smoke a bunch of different ones until you know what you like and don't like, then go from there.

Acid cigars are an acquired taste for me but don't let anyone judge what you like. The best thing to do is find what type of smoking experience you enjoy and go from there. Every time you buy cigars pick up one or two random ones to venture out.

Personally I'm a fan of maduro or camaroon cigars in a large ring gauge. Here lately I've been smoking a lot of Nub cigars. My all time favorite is a Montecristo white label toro.
