What’s your favorite cigar forum?

By Inspector in Other on Apr 5th, 09

There are dozens of cigar-related forums out there and it is impossible to be an active member everywhere. I know that some of you are regular users and I would like to hear your opinion - what is your favorite cigar forum and why?

If I were to answer this question I would probably select Cigar Outcast. If you are looking to promote your own site, it's probably not the best choice (its 300 members are nothing compared to giants), but I really like the fast loading speed and the 'no-frills' attitude. The forum is by invitation only, if you'd like to get an invite let me know in the comments area.

Right now, I don’t have a particular favorite, but I do visit Cigar Pass and Social Cigar sometimes. I would like an invite to Outcast, if possible.

Social cigar seems to me to be the most organized but I am always looking for new ones. Please do send the invite from Cigar Outcast.

I’ve been a member of Cigar Beat longer than any other forum and I really like the folk on there. It’s small, but everyone respects one another. BOTL comes in second and SRFF third.

When Daniel sold cigarlive.com i began to lose interest in the forums. I was never a fan of them since they tend to be stuck of people who hide behind a computer. But that place had a sense of community.

I tried cigaroutcast.com which is mostly full of the core of cigarlive, but it feels more of a clique now to me. The fact you need an invite to join, is a turn off.

I’ve tried stogie review fan forums, and I like the site, but I have a problem with it recognizing when I last logged in and sometimes it shows no new posts when there should be pages.

UK CIGAR FORUMS is my favourite. Great mix of serious collectors and beginner stogiemen. Friendly atmosphere and great sense of humour sprayed all over it.

Social Cigar is my favorite, but I have to admit some bias, as I’m a moderator there. I liked Cigar Live, and continue to enjoy Puff.com. Cigar inspector is pretty good too, but some of these guys make my jealous with their Cuban cigar reviews.. ;-)

I’ve been to Herfer’s Paradise, but the whole site design seems stuck in the 1990′s.

Saint Jimbob, you will probably hate me after today’s review :)

Inspector, thank you for picking Cigar Outcast as your forum of choice. We are invite only, and as Barry said, it has more of a clique feel to it. But, it will soon be opening up. Look for it in the beginning of May
