For those at the end of a hard day hunting in Africa that enjoy an adult beverage or two around a mopane fire with a cigar, what is your cigar of choice? I will prime the pump, Macanudo Duke of York and Ashton No. 60 Maduro. Mike | ||

Howdy, Onyx Reserve Toro. $3 each via JR's if you buy them by the 20 count box. Beautiful box too. I took two boxes with me last year to South Africa. Very good, rich smoke. Adios Sport | |||

I'd prefer a Bolivar Belicoso Fino, Cuban of course. Then again that's my favorite cigar in any situation. Caleb | |||

Partagas #10 would be fine, or a #4 for a short smoke. BigB | |||

Cohiba Robusto or a Hoya de la Monterrey Epicure #2 And a glass of Vintage Port or Vin de Constance from RSA. Verbera!, Iugula!, Iugula!!! Blair. | |||

Not much of a smoker but I do like a Don Pepin Garcia Cuban classic, or a Punch Grand puro Ed DRSS Member | |||

When I used to shoot little guns I smoked Cuban Parejo Galaxia but now that I'm stepping up to the heavy metal I'm smoking La Tradicion Cubana "The Big One". I have a lot of time on my hands ...  | |||

I brought a bunch of Ashtons but I found that I never had time to smoke them. We got back from the hunt, showered, had dinner, and I went to bed so I'd get at least 7hrs of sleep a night. In hindsight I should have brought some short cigars. I've got a small fivepack of petit RyJ maduros that would have been perfect. We hung out at the national parks for a week afterwards. I had a few great smokes from our rondavel watching the Ele bulls fighting over a water hole. | |||

A Romeo and Julietta No. 2. Habana of course. I get them just one mile from my home, in Soo, Canada. $5.00 a pop if you buy by the box! Dan Donarski Hunter's Horn Adventures Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783 906-632-1947 www.huntershornadventures.com | |||

Not very PC and a slight hijacking here but the best thing to light with a burning mopane ember is a Zim Madison Toasted CIGARETTE. Especially with an ice cold castle nearby... | |||

A Punch Rothschild would be my first choice but I sure wouldn't refuse any Cohiba. "Peace is that brief glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading". | |||

Almost anything by Rocky Patel or Gurkha; Onyx Reserve Robusto; Partagas Black Label Magnifico. George  | |||

Can't go wrong with a Cohiba Robusto but I'm as partial to a Montecristo Petit Edmundo. My 'go-to cigar' is a Cuaba Tradicionale, or the next size down for the daytime. | |||

Montecristo Especial No. 2 or Montecristo A. Mike Wilderness is my cathedral, and hunting is my prayer. | |||

Montecristo N0. 2 Habana from the duty free in Joberg. | |||

I always had, have and, hopefully, will have some Antico Toscano with me. Something for though people.  But I appreciate all the other brands and type that you described. bye Stefano Waidmannsheil | |||

We will bring a box of Monte Cristo #2 for the Moz sundowners in a few weeks. A box of MC #4 will do nicely as an in between smoke. "You only gotta do one thing well to make it in this world" - J Joplin | |||

I'm like all the Punch cigars will sitting by a fire here in California, but I also love a nice Crown Royal on the rocks and a nice plug of Red man chew so I can spit 4" long waterfalls into the fire. Paul C | |||

Another vote for the Monticristo #2! For a milder smoke I have become quite fond of the Gurkha Regents lately. Both go well with Glenmorangie Nector D'Or... Mopane fire...cigar....scotch.....priceless!! | |||

+ 1 Mike. Just a personal thing as a non smoker, find ALL cigars on the obnoxious side. But what ever floats your boat. Larry Sellers SCI Life Member

Hell if you will get me there to hunt DG I'll settle for a tipped Swisher Sweet! Kinda like sex, its all good if the setting and participants are right! On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

I typically connect through Amsterdam and I've had the following cigars on safari: These are all Cubans in no particular order. Hoya de Monterey double coronas, Bolivar gigantes(a double corona); Montecristo number 2- the torpedo; Punch/Punch in the robusto and corona; Hoya de Monterey epicure #3; Romeo y Julieta #2. These and some 12 year old McCallan can take the edge of a few tetse fly bites. Lately I've also been picking up some 20 year tawny port. It's awesome after dinner. MMP | |||
