Thread: Favorite Cigars

I wonder what cigars everyone likes. I am personally fond of Partagas and La Gloria Cubana. I also like Cuban Cohiba's, but certain restrictions prevent me from more fully experiencing Cubans.

Speaking as a Canadian, cubans are highly overrated. My favorite by far - CAO Sopranos. I mean, not only are they the official cigars that were smoked on the Sopranos, but they come in sizes like Boss, Associate, Capo. Top that off, I think they are the perfect blend of taste and smoothness.

My favorites:

Partagas (D4)
Saint Luis Rey (Regios)
H. Upmann (No2)
Punch (Corona gorda)

I am very happy to meet other Partagas Lovers (and count my wife in also)... My favourite are Partagas, Romeo Y Julieta and Monte Christo... No problem to import Cuban cigars in Switzerland...

I enjoy:

Petit Punch (Punch)
Chubby (Zino Davidoff)
Short Robusto (The Griffin's)

Montecristo hands down.

Cohibas and R&J are good too, but I prefer the Montecristo.

When I want to go a little cheaper, I like Don Thomas or Calixto Lopez (Phillipines, sweeter).

I've not been smoking cigars long, but I've had a few good ones. I quite like Griffins and Ashtons. For maduros, I really like the Olivia Serie O maduros. As a more reasonably priced stick, I've really come to enjoy Sancho Panza Double Maduros. I typically prefer smaller ring sizes, like a Corona.

Cuabas are nice! The big ones with the two torpedo ends, one end larger than the other. The only down side is there Cuban made. The CAO's are nice, I like the Brazilian. It realy depends on were, and with who I smoke with. The enviroment is very important.

Avo Domaine Torpedoes and Padron 2000's.

But in a pinch, pretty much anything that is made of tobacco, burns, and is not sold at the local convenience and/or drug store will do.

Being from Massachusetts and just North of Connecticut I allways seem to end up going back to my old favorite, local grown Connecticut Valley cigars, some of the best broad leaf anywhere.
