Deeg Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Here's one to chew on: just like the title says: what's the cigar that makes you say "Why do I ever smoke anything else?" whenever you light one up? It could be because the cigar is just that great, it could be because it's such a great value, complexity/varying experience, or that it's so versatile and approachable. Whatever your reason is, I'm curious to hear your answers. For me, while my experience with the stick is limited, the most recent time I said this was with a Por Larranaga Montecarlo - just because it delivered so much (complex, even elegant flavor profile, perfect construction, a full hour smoke) for such an absurdly cheap price.

Popular Post SigmundChurchill Posted July 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2019 I have a cigar like that. One that stimulates my palate like no other, and puts me in a state of total bliss. But I think if that was all I smoked, I would lose my appreciation for it. Try eating your favorite food for every meal, and see if you still find it to be special after a couple of days. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think the game is more about which cigar puts the thought into your head, rather than that you would actually do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99call Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 Montecarlos get a big green tick from me. Not only a good cheapie. But outclass many RE LE production. Quai D'Orsay Coronas. Upmann 46. Juan Lopez No 1. Trini Coloniales. I wouldnt complain at all if any of them washed up with me on a desert island as a lifetime supply 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeypots Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 The inconsistencies that plague Cuban cigar smokers, guys like me who buy boxes from trusted vendors and lay them down for a while, are well known. A box of '11 MC Edmundo comes to mind. If I could get that cigar I'd just about smoke only that cigar. But boxes of Cuban cigars are rarely that good, so the better question is, "Why can't all Cuban cigars be like this?" 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful box of cigars. Waiting 30 is going to be a challenge, especially after reading posts like this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I would say a tight rotation of Connie A, El Principe and Fundys could keep me from venturing elsewhere for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

encephalization Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 PLMCs must be up there for me. Had a Parti Presidentes with some decent age yesterday and that really impressed me. Had been a couple months (or probably more) since I had one but this will now be at least a weekly thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
