Thread: Favorite Cigars

My favorite is Punch Gran Puro. Somewhat spicy.

Had so many... and many real Cubans as well....

By FAR my favorite smokes are Acid Cigars ...

The burn, draw and aroma is perfect !!!!

I perfer coronas and petite coronas some of my favorite brands are:

Davidoff
Drew Estates (Kalua, Acid, I have not had one that I disliked)

Acid cigars are very nice if you are in the mood for an aromatic, as are Volcano Brand from Hawaii. For a milder smoke, I enjoy Romeo y Julieta Gran Reserva churchills.

But hands down, the best smoke I've ever had, was an Oliveros Platinum, maduro box press. Magnificent. I like the maduros, and this one delivered. Also, someone now makes a triple maduro (upmann? can't remember) that is good, if a little ass-kicking flavorwise. Ghurka Tubos (the cognac soaked ones) are another very good aromatic smoke.

depending upon my mood:

Padron 3000
Oliva V
CAO Italia
Arturo Fuente Hemmingway

I have been more into pipes lately, given that a cigar is $5.00 (or more), and a bowl of great pipe tobacco is $0.20.

The only issue I have is that smoking a pipe is like smoking water when compared to a cigar. There is not body to the smoke.

Patagas 'Fabuloso' & #10
Cuban Cohiba(s) Churchill

I think it depends upon what tobacco you are smoking. A nice english blend is a lot different that an aromatic. However, to counter my own point, I agree that you don't have the same full bodied "feel" that you get with a cigar. The other unspoken reason I have been more into pipes than cigars, is the fact that my wife much prefers the smell of a pipe to that of a cigar, and I agree with her. the room note of a nice pipe is much better than that of a cigar.

My favorite lately has been the Rocky Patel line. I have really enjoyed the Vintage 90 and also the Edge. I look forward to lighting up a Decade that I have had waiting in the humi for a while.

Cuban Punch Double Corona and Cohiba Siglo VI. I have to mention also a Bolivar sold exclusively in France as part of the regional Habanos line but unfortunately it is too difficult to get a hold of.
