I miss those Oliva MB3. I hope they haven't changed, haven't had or seen one in probably 5 years.

I was reminded of the amazingness of the Opus X over the weekend. Same with a Padron Anni 1964 which pleasantly surprised me with a decent draw. If only every cigar shop carried those.

I see more shops carrying Flor De Las Antilles and My Father Le Bijou, which are both good in a pinch.

I lit up a Oliva serie v, no.4. One of few (so far) non-cubans I've smoked. Very good, once again.

I wonder if it's a significantly different blend from the Lanceros, or that they don't sell as well (i.e. aged). Smooth, creamy, slightly sweet. Maybe some leather, woods, and nutty tones. Certainly some musty dark berry flavours, and lots of spice. The lanceros have been way stronger and mustier IMO.

My favourite so far from the Oliva house. Next I will see if any of the Padrons will entice me.

(I have smoked Cubans relatively often for some 7 years, FYI)

[SaintLuis]

Padron anniversarios ('64 more often than the '26).

Cabaiguan

Fuente Fuente Opus X (love the perfection 5)

My Father Flor de Las Antilles

Generally, cubans are better, but while this is a habanos forum, i think its close minded and stupid to denigrate talk about non-cubans. We're all brothers of the leaf, and that doesnt strike me as an attitude consistent with what this hobby is all about.

[SaintLuis]

I've been smoking NC's for pretty much the last 15 years. Can't believe I never heard of this cigar until it was posted on another forum. This cigar is simply amazing. I've just ordered 3 boxes to keep. It has almost the same taste as a CC. Unbelievable. I really love this cigar. My 2nd one of the day.

Interesting nod to habanos with the re band.

[SaintLuis]

At that price, Anejo is an exceptional value, I know the 55 will smoke at least two hours!

I have 4 sharks in my humidor, and im actually intimidated by them. lol

There are a fair number of NCs I enjoy:

Padron Anny Maduro

Tatuaje 7th Reserva

Fuente Hemingway Maduro

My Father

Quesada Espana Short Robusto

Liga Privada Dirty Rat or L40

Tatuaje Regios Reserva

Oliva V lancero, no4, and the rate diadema

El Triunfador lancero (brown label)

On the subject brought up of CC vs NC, I do find it fascinating that many, many BotLs (myself included) start with NC and eventually transition either to all-CC, or mostly-CC smoking, whereas you almost never see someone start with CCs and transition to all- or mostly-NC smoking...

[anjimj]

I enjoy smoking Padron Maduro's. Sometimes, I enjoy a beefy Nicaraguan Puro and its a nice change of pace cigar. Others include, Tatuaje Black label, Tatuaje TAA 2012, and Don Pepin Lanceros from 2008 which I have a half a box

[anjimj]

Also enjoy, Nat Shermans and Byron cigars

Even a "cheap" NC here in NY costs more than a cheap CC. I usually buy the cheap padrons that are around ~$6 and just smoke my CC. I stash the NC's that I'm forced to buy and just give them out to friends that don't know anything about cigars.

[Laxman]

Punch Punch 2013 BAM codes as of late have been off the charts. My new go to cigar hands down, also the BTO Sig 6's have been great and finding them hard to stay away from.

[Heawns]

The dominican La Gloria Cubana (glorias) is a new one for me... Beats the expensive Padron in my hand. I simply prefer creamy sweetness and various spices, over dry & murky grapefruit flavours.

In the LGC, which I smoked yesterday, I found some bready spice of anise, cardamom, syrup, and some hints of white pepper. Very creamy and sweet at times.

[Homebrew]

I probably smoke about 90% Cuban cigars. But sometimes the mood strikes me, and I reach for a Non-Cuban cigar. Mainly from these boxes.

I also occasionally grab a Padron, or Tat, but mainly Fuentes.

Is "sometimes" or "occasionally" compatible with "go-to" ? I'm confused.

[Optic101]

Well if you equal the 10% NC to 100% and these are the main once .....

[vinnyvega]

I truly feel bad for the only Cuban cigar smoker that has never experienced an Ashton VSG from 1999. I am down to a hand full of the Robos and they are better than 95% of any aged Cubans I have enjoyed.

[vinnyvega]

As far as what you can get at any B&M, Fuente Hemingway and Don Carlos.

[laficion]

I say,smoke what you love,and love what you smoke,but I'd prefer to smoke a Peso cigar then a high end N.C. . Why ?

I like Pepper In my dishs but not In my CIGARS !!!!!!!!!. I also like Dutch cigars for the change of pace. !!!!!!:!!!!!!

I've been smoking most of my Anejo and Opus with sweetened coffee vs. alcohol lately, much safer And lately I've been drawn to cc's first I must admit, but still crave the Anejo and Opus line often. And yes they are available in some U.S. stores, so I would say they are my go-to-cigar as related to this thread title

[Andrew11]

[Andrew11]

Something went wrong and could not edit my last post.
