I know everyone hates gas station cigars as a whole, but if you absolutly have to get cigars from a gas station(for time reasons or what ever), what are the top three best cigars avalible at most gas stations.

rather than buying and trying to enjoy(?) a gas station cigar,i suggest you drink a cup of 87 grade gas....or drive a few blocks further to a real cigar shop.....

When are in the middle of nowhere and you haven't prepared nothing is unsmokable. As I have grown up a little I make sure I have some for the road now.

I pick up a Garcia Vega Crystal every now and then, not too bad. One station near me also carries RyJ Robustos (tubed) that are o.k. although sometimes a bit dry.

WTF is with all these gas station cigar noobs showing up here in the past week or two? Is Hex advertising on the bathroom stall at the gas station again?

Personally I like my cigars ribbed for my pleasure.

You'll learn that most cigar smokers do not do it for nicotine, and do not have to buy gas station cigars for a quick fix. Sometimes I smoke a few cigars a day, then sometimes I go weeks without a cigar. Right now I havnt smoked one since before Thanksgiving, I have stuff sitting the humidor but I dont have the urge to go smoke one right now. Its a pleasure/hobby, not an addiction.

**prophetic_joe** · 12-03-2005, 11:02 PM

there's more to my enjoyment of a cigar than just the nicotine fix, that's actually not even half of it. I smoke cigars as a time to sit back relax and think, if I'm not doing something relaxing like golfing or hanging out with my friends at my favorite bar or just sitting in the garage with a book, well then something of the experience is lost.

NO, and let me repeat myself because I'm not sure some of the fellas in the back heard, NO gas station smoke can offer even close to the same experience as even a half decent hand rolled cigar from the humi and is because of this not worth the 5 seconds it takes to smoke or the 50 cents it takes to buy a five-pack.

but hey smoke what you like I say.

I think you misunderstood me. I know they are bad... but some times in certain situations you have to work with what you have... Ex. you dont have humidifier and the cigar stores are close.. gas stations are always open

Cigars will easily stay moist for several days in a ziploc freezer bag. Toss a water pillow or humipack in there and they will keep for weeks, if not months.

An inexpensive humidor (tupperdor) can be set up using:
A tube of Heartfelt Beads
A new piece of Tupperware
