El Presidente Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 The best pound for pound Cuban cigars in the world today? I get the above question asked regularly of me and I have my list which I will post later today. However I would like your list which you will need to keep to no more than three cigars. Taking into account: Enjoyment Value/Price Consistency For you.....which are your top 3 "pound of pound" Cuban cigars in the world today? If you have time, expand and let us know why.

foursite12 Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Using those criteria, 1. Por Larranaga Petit Coronas. High bang for the buck. Distinctive flavor profile, with early bite giving way to mellow caramel as they mature. Consistent high build quality. 2. Punch Punch. More cigar than most in a reasonable size and cost. I understand quality may not have been up there prior to 2014 but for me this is my go-to CG, along with RA Superiores (which are at a totally different price point). 3. Diplomaticos No. 2--but I haven't smoked enough to speak about consistency. So far, they appear to be an excellent price/performance cigar.

FLB03TT Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Day in day out, no muss no fuss, steady Eddie, good to the last drop. One caveat is hand picking, especially by Rob, help to insure the above qualities. RASS, preferably 50 cab. BRC CORO, pricey, but worth it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBS Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Recent examples of the JL#2 have been pretty fantastic for such a reasonably priced cigar. Add BRC's, CoRo's, and recent Party Shorts to my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topdiesel Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Boli Tubos No. 3 Boli Tubos No. 2 Boli Coronas Jr. I have spent a lot of money and time looking for better. For my palate these are the ones. It was a tough decision though. I have had individual cigars that are better, but not consistently better. I have smoked hundreds of the combination of these and every time I light one up I think "If I don't have time or if anything is wrong I will just pitch it and get a different cigar" I have never tossed one of the above smokes. They are all varying intensities of the same flavor profile. Bolivar leather and a sort of dried apricot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
