Favorite Cigar

Recommended Posts

This is going to be the topic where you will post your favorite cigar and we can talk and compare.

 

Alec Bradley The Fix. It is a very thick Robusto with filler tobaccos from Colombia, Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras and Costa Rica rolled in dark, Nicaraguan Habano wrappers. Thick and full-bodied is how I like them haha. You guys can make a couple of jokes from that one.

Can't say it's my "favorite" - but it's my favorite go-to cigar for the time being - Olivia Serie V - just the right smoke for the price.

 

I'd say thats the perfect description for the Serie V. Great smoke for the price. It beats out most of the other cigars at the price.

Best one I've ever smoked (and it was once and at a friend's upscale wedding) was a Cohiba Siglo VI. Don't know where his now bro-in-law scored them, but it was a fine smoke. And I've lusted after one ever since.

Have a ton of back-ups in all categories, but there are always 14 clubs in the bag that differ depending on the course and set-up. Bomb and gouge. Yes, I'm a club gigolo.

I really like the Padron Natural but I'm such a novice here - started smoking cigars in December in part because of this thread - you can teach an old dog new tricks.

Don't have a favorite, but I did go in and buy 4 last night for golf today. I spent more than I should've ($53 on 4 cigars), but I only smoked 1 of them. That one? A Rocky Patel 15th anniversary. I bought a Romeo y Julieta anniversary, an Acid KubaKuba, and one other one I can't recall right now. I pick cigars out by their smell in the store, bot by type or anything else. Smoker the Rocky Patel today and it was a damned fine smoke.

I haven't had any from the Rocky Patel line as yet - what did you like about it? I've looked at them but haven't tried them.

 

I'm on vacation next week and will want to have a couple of cigars on the back porch during the course of that time. Along with a glass of scotch or two.

The ones I bought were unbelievably smooth and balanced (I guess that's how your describe it). They lasted a while too, slow burners (6 holes or so). Don't ask me to get technical cause I just buy ones that smell good in the humidor and then either love them or hate them for their flavor and smoothness.

A Favorite cigar is a bit like a favorite wine or favorite beer....really depends on any number of variables.

 

I prefer to refer to several "go-to " cigars which are all favorites depending on mood and circumstance. I separate "go-to" cigars from golf gars as they tend to have distinctly different purposes. A "go-to" cigar is one that you focus upon exclusively and savor while sitting with a beverage while a golf gar is pleasant but not obtrusive.

 

Go-To:

Mild to medium:  Perdomo Champagne, Perdomo lot 23 natural, Casa Torano, Alec Bradley Star Insignia, Family Blend and American Blend, Rocky Patel The Edge, Romeo & Julietta Reserva Real, Montecristo White Label,  San Cristobal Elegancia, Padron anniversary series...

 

 

 

Golf gars:  Patel Edge Light, 5 Vegas Gold or Classic, 5 Vegas Gold maduro , Hoyo De Monterrrey Excalibur,

and yes , even Macanudo makes a fine golf gar -especially for early morning tee times on a partially empty stomach! :)

 

This is a partial list but hopefully provides some indication of my cigar preferences.

1. La Gloria Cubana - Serie N

2. Ave Maria

3. Punch - Punch

4. Anything by Oliva

5. A tie between Man O War - Ruination and Alec Bradley - Prensado

Ave Maria is something of an under the radar quality smoke.

Oliva's are good and reasonably priced for the most part....like the G Series...and the V Classic Blends are usually worth the extra money as well.  Almost anything Alec Bradley blends turns to gold....but alas, don't care much for anything from Punch :)

BTW: I have a Ruination that's been sitting in my humi for sometime....just may need to spark it up this Sunday while watching NFL.

I assume that you meant Ashton Cabinet....a good smoke indeed...however like all Ashtons , rather over priced, eh?  LOL

IMO, Ashton, Fuente and Avo are all good quality smokes that are overpriced....your thoughts?

Being from Kentucky i have to throw my hat in and say the Maker's Mark cigars are my favorite.   Gotta love the glass tubes and red wax sealed tops - makes opening the cigar an experience all its own.  As far as golf course cigars i have no real favorite.  As long as they last nine holes and are cheap enough to share I am willng to try anything.

Jay, what did we smoke out in Cali? That was fantastic.

 

Cali ?  Whack Tabaccy ?   hahahah

 

On a side note.....  I enjoyed the hell out of a OPUS X Power Ranger lastnight.  Yum
