Weekend Poll Comp: Your MVP Cigar

[MoeFOH]

This weekend's poll is all about your Most Valuable Player cigar in your rotation, right now - Your go-to, clutch guy. Or maybe you have multiple candidates... or a Hall of Famer from the past that fits the bill... 🤔

Check out the poll, vote, and/or post pics/discuss the stick/s you nominate, if you can (bonus tickets in the prize draw for pics). Discuss what you love about it, why it's knocking it out of the park compared to the competition, etc.  

All participants go into the draw for a bundle (25) of Nudies Piramide Corta Suave!! 

Poll closes midnight Monday (Bris time) - Draw done Tues morning 6th May. 

Have fun with it and have a great weekend!!

It’s D4 for me, great size, perfect smoke time for me, and in since ‘22 they have been on fire.

[Chas.Alpha]

BRC. Did you have to ask?😀

[Chucko8]

QD52 is the standout for me at present.

[mikejh]

Too many cigars I like.

[eaglebear29]

I like to switch it up and not burn through my favorites too quick so I'm always adding new sticks into the mix. There's so many I love and no real MVP right now cause I'm always keeping a changing rotation.

[nicdop]

Not so much experience, but from the ones I had recently QD50 would be the candidate for that.

For me as well 👍

[Çnote]

Hmmm

Today it's mostly singles either smoking with @Capn_Jackson or old stock I've been absorbing over the past few months.

5 years ago I would have said QdO50, Padron 1926#35, Fuente DC#4, and LFD La Nox.

The strategy change of buying boxes to burn thru to boxes to rest & aged stock as it's found has been fun.

[pohlmad]

QD52, PSD4 and JLP2 for me!

[Deeg]

As I’m priced out of all but the most C&C on the Cuban side, it would have to be an NC. And while I don’t have a single specific one, generally speaking I would say Illusione as a marca because I’m finding the best consistency and QPR there.

[westg]

Monte PE, H. Upmann No 1

[loose_axle]

HDM Rio de Seco, VR Unicos, Partagas E2, HUP 50 and HDM DC at the moment. 

For NC LFD have been knocking it out of the park for me. 

[griller]

I'm sort of a hybrid of the replies above from @eaglebear29 and @Çnote above. Smoking thru assorted NC singles both new buys and those that have been sitting for years and sometimes forgotten about. On the Cuban side of things, JohnnyO farm rolls are scratching that itch well with his versions of the 898 and Mag 46. 

I've decided to start focusing more on smoking various Illusione Epernay boxes that I acquired starting 2019 thru 2021. Believe I have 5 different sizes that could be coming into their own around now. Hopefully this will make it easier to fight the temptation of smoking thru my Cubans since I'm pretty much priced out of new boxes now. Unless something dramatic changes financially I'll be a 1-2 box (if that) buyer a year going forward.

MVPs: PSD4 and Mont Petit 2. Post three months rest, these excel.

MVP: would probably be HU2. This past year or so it's been my go to. Runner up would be some aged stock I have. POS07 and TEB08 BCE from cabs have been divine. With all that being said, I have to keep myself from pulling them as when they're done they're likely gone! 

[chasy]

Mag 54 has been quality.

[Capn_Jackson]

Hybrid, rather messy answer:

Standout MVPs to me have always been BBF, BPC, and JL2.

However, in the interest of keeping my CC stock for awhile longer, I’ve moved to gathering NC’s that scratch the itch, even if just barely. Aladino Corojo Reserva have some similarity that touch on it, and I’ve been impressed by a few Curivari, too.

Now and then I find myself in a strictly NC mood. I’ve always enjoyed Padron 1926 and 1964, natural, in the 50-54 ring gauge. Favorite of those is the 1964 Hermoso, natural. Like @Çnote mentioned above, Fuente DC. They are always good, even better with years of age. Particularly the EotS or DC 3’s and 4’s. Also, as a brand, Illusione. Favorites have been the Fume d’Amour, Haut 10, and Original Documents lines.

[Lucas Buck]

Three that are just killing it for me lately are Ambar, Esmereldas & YG Ninfas. Only have pics of the last two -

[Ford2112]

So far the Partagas E2 has been standing out. The Nudies Queen Corona would be a close second. Every E2 I have smoked this year has been stellar.

[joeypots]

I usually am cycling through about six cigars. I usually have a few vitolas from which to choose, that creates variety as much as marca. Right now the MVP is the MCDE circa '16.

[Chibearsv]

I'm day to day on what's hitting the spot. I never really focus on any small group of cigars for my "rotation". Yesterday was 2019 Sir Winston that was really good but it didn't stand out. My last regular production cigar that really got my attention was 2019 HU Connie 1.

[ViscountDick]

Mag 46 and Connies 

[HarveyBoulevard]

Nudie Canonazo. Smoke 1 a day. Never lets me down.

[Havanaaddict]

I smoke 2 cigars a night so I like to mix it up as much as I can! I do tend to smoke a lot of Siglo VI 

Also really enjoy the Cohiba Genios Maduro 5 

 

I do like to mix in some Regionals throughout the week, one of the fav:

Ramón Allones Phoenicio 40 Edición Regional Líbano

I can't forget:

Saint Luis Rey Regios,

RASS (50 Cab)

San Cristóbal de la Habana La Punta.
