Cigars on the Sopranos

[RHNewfie]

Anyone know what kind of cigars they smoke? I heard them mention macanudo in one episode but was wondering if anyone knew for sure?

Don't give anything away!! I am watching all seasons now!

Not positive but I think they smoked CAO Anniv. Maduro

I met them two years ago at Foxwoods Casino and asked Gandolfini this question as well. They smoke whatever anyone brings to the set. Sometimes they are good and sometimes they are bad. They also have cigar breaks and brainstorming sessions on the set.

They smoke both Habanos and Non Cubans but nothing in particular and on a regular basis.

they kinda put CAO on the map by smoking them on the show, didn't they?

also, i remember in a very early episode (and it may have been the "barrens" show - directed by steve buscemi) that tony was given a box of PSD4 by someone...

Wait, so the actors don't strictly smoke CAO Soprano's...so is the SUPER premium i pay go to the other cigars they smoke on set. Pretty cool you got to meet them.

In the first season, somewhere around episode 10ish, not too sure, Tony gave his neighbor a box of monte cristo's, real cubans, not too sure on anythign else bout them though. (were cubans in the story anyways). Interesting though, his neighbor (his docotr) smoked it in the house,must have anice wife haha.

yeah I remember the Monte Cristo offering...
but now they're endorsing their own soprano line of cigars...i heard they're Cao manufactured

Holy Crap...are you honestly saying that they don't smoke the Sopranos line by CAO...my day is ruined!!!!

yeah i've seen them, but I jsut saw that episode recently, watching series start to finsih actually, well as far as they have come. Are they worthwhile? i was tempted to try one, but they do seem expensive for a CAO.

All the reviews I've read thus far have ranged from good-excellent and some of these where from Cigar snobs which suprised me. I'd love to try one but HBO and CAO are rich enough and the only CAO I've ever liked(GOLD) has now been culled outta my stock after tasting the last batch of 5 Vegas GOLD!

I wasn't overly impressed. I've only smoked one though and I hate to make a judgement based on one.

I love the CAO Sopranos Line. They are kind of expensive, but a great smoke. My wife accused me of liking them just because they are have a Sopranos theme, but that isn't true. I would smoke them if they were CAO Desperate Housewives cigars.

You meet the most incredible people. Meeting Gandolfini would have been one of those great moments in a life experience.
