LLC Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I could list five special, really old or discontinued cigars but instead I’ll go with five regular ones that don’t seem to ever let me down.

Shatner's Bassoon Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 Every team needs a solid spine, round which you can fit in flashier players. These make up my solid spine; I would trust any of them to take penalties in a shootout.

Rhinoww Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It’s funny reading these top five lists makes me rethink mine. Or at least I realize that there are a lot of sticks I really like. This remains a fun hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PigFish Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I cannot say that I think about cigars in these terms. There are good, bad and average cigars, and I have a share of all of them. Cigars from '01 have been standouts for me. The RAPC, the du Roi, various Lonsdales and Coronas to name a few. I don't smoke these cigars every day. I reach for them when I am actually looking for something different to smoke. When I have the time to contemplate smoking which I seem to do less and less these days. Mainly I smoke through a handful of vitolas, and the brand mean precious little. I smoke some petit Robustos, PCs, and sub-PCs depending on what I have opened and spilled into the smoking drawer. I don't tend to smoke these from a box anymore. I dump them in an open space, push my finger through the pile until I see one to smoke. RASCC, Monte 5s, Hoyo PRs, RyJ PRs are just some rolling around in there. The best cigar is currently the cigar I am smoking. I smoke one at a time and think largely about that one and not a whole host of others unless it was a real standout. I smoked a really nice, likely the best cigar this year, Monte #2 from '08 to celebrate my friend Ricky. If I offered my friend a choice when he came by to smoke, Rick would often take a Monte 2. I know... As usual I have not bothered to follow the rules of the game. Rules are boring! Cheers! -Piggy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meesterjojo Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I'll tell yall, this thread has me really thinking about diversity of my stock and growing to try new cigars. When I started with Cubans I clung to what I enjoyed. I went hard into D4s, and now have enough to survive a post apocalyptic scenario. All based on one golden box that I haven't been able to find again. I guess what I'm getting at is that the need to stock pile more than 2 boxes has decreased, while the surprise of discovering what I'm going to get with any particular box has increased. It seems part of the game. The compulsion is gone. Now I'm in the process of turning most of my large humidor into singles storage, with half going for aging. This thread has given me some more ideas on what to try next. Thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobbs Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 lusitanias aso mar 17 - every cigar from that box has been outstanding. not sure it matters too much, but the wrappers are super-dark, oily, and brindled monte especiales #2 reg abr 19 - like the lusis, they have been fantastic. grabbed a box of especials hoping they are as good but longer por larranaga montecarlos tos feb 17 - stopped smoking this box to see how they do in 5 more years, but these made me go deep on this cigar upmann connoisseur #1 bre mar 19 - consistently good cigars, but with enough power to see they will benefit from rest, excited to see where these go bolivar silver jubilee er hong kong 19 - wish i had a box, slept on these and only picked up a 6er, but goddamn, each has been so good that i'm kicking myself for not grabbing as many as possible -dobbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 JL1 MGL MAR 20- meaty, robust, dense flavor VR Famosos ARS SEP 19- truly delightful smokes HU Majestic DEC 18- cheerful (every time) RYJ SC FEB 19 (lost the box code)- need to get more, as they always satisfy PLMC LGR AUG 19- these are a treat (need more) And after following the advice from a few on this forum, I will give an honorable mention to Quintero Tubulares RMO APR 19. Really a decent cigar. (I find that short filler cigars never have construction problems, and that's not nuthin'.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
