Fabrica5 sampler

[Dr vonPuffenberg]

Got my Fabrica5 13X2 sampler in the mail the other day.  Quite the assortment!  I’m letting them rest, but excited to try everything.  What’s everyone’s favorite 1 or 2 sticks from F5?

[KCCubano]

My favorite is the Queen Corona but they are all good!

Lucky me, Fab5 distribution center three hours away. Package arrived in two days and enjoyed a few (ok more than a few) ROTT. Loved nearly all of them and ordered some 25 bundles. Top5 Fab5

1. Sovereign Sun

2. Fat Fundy

3. Canonaza

4. Robusto Trinity

5. Churchill

In keeping with the logo, but that’s just MOFOH 😂

My favorites are in this order

Queen Corona/Ninfa. They really are both that good.

Fat Fundy

Robusto Trinity

Sovereign Suns( so far)

Those cover all the bases for me.

I’ve only tried the Ninfas & Queen Coronas so far and like them in that order. Planning on ordering the sampler to try them all soon. The Ninfas are already firmly in my rotation and as such are the first NC in more than 20 years to have that distinction. My favorite size and essentially the only game in town that smoke anything close to Cuban tobacco.

Queen Corona ❤️

Here is where I'm falling right now...Favorite is the N1 Lancero for a relaxed smoking experience. Love the transitions in this cigar and aging potential continues to impress. 2nd is the Carlota, which is a fantastic size and surprisingly complex for this format. Of late, the Queen Corona has become a perfect companion for grilling burgers, smoking ribs/chicken, or doing a surf & turf on the griddle. Several times I've had to put the cigar down for 3-5 minutes and come back without having to relight. From there, I'd say the rest of the catalog is solid, delivering consistent construction, mild to medium body, and ZERO pepper/spice bombs (which is a huge turnoff to my palate). 

These aren't Cuban, but they are lights out a tremendous cigar lineup that stand on their own. The sampler is a great way to find your "go to" and a heck of a value, too.

So far it seems that the Queen Corona has been mentioned by almost everyone. Looking forward to trying it out.

Got my 3 orders through this week the sampler among them, planning on getting all of the bundles in my humidor by Christmas.

Also thanks @El Presidente for the extra of the Bond Roberts, very excited to try it!!

Smoking sticks for 30 years, never liked the small ring coupled with long format (Ninfas 7x33). Feel like FDR 😋

“These aren’t Cubans but”… I AGREE! As this noob wrote in his noobie intro - Now through FOH discovered Fabrica5. Ordered the sampler pack and with only a two day journey to my Florida home enjoyed many ROTT. While I’ve only had a fraction of other world sticks, in my amateurish sorting these Cuban-ishFab5’s are another category, in between other world and CC. They are resting now in the same humidor as their thin herd of Cuban  brothers & sisters.

Sovereign Suns. Petit Corona, like a Partagas Mille Fleur. Best out of entire line up.

[moneyneversleeps]

1. Fat Fundy

2.  Trinity Robusto

[El Presidente]

I love the fact that everyone has a different set of favourites.

Quality is across the board. I could smoke any given one and be happy honestly. 

[ElLoboLoco]

I was getting ready to say Carlota but I am smoking my first Trinity and this guy is straight 🔥.

They have a fairly different flavor profile, so it’s a tie depending on my mood. 🫣🤣 

[messymerlion]

Robusto Trinity and Canonazo for me, but I am looking forward to trying the Sovereign Suns, looking at all the stellar reviews.

[JoeyBones777]

I've tried about 75% of them and my favorites are as follows:

1. Fat Fundy

2. Robusto Trinity

3. Petite Corona

4. Spada Gorda

5. Canonazo 

The Petit Corona actually shocked me because I didn't like them at all when I first got them. It took almost a year of rest before they blossomed into the perfect morning coffee cigar for me. They ended up being the first bundle I finished...I need more now.

I'm looking forward to trying the Queen Corona and the Lonsdale, as those are my favorite vitolas. I also need to try the Churchills.

[griller]

I'm making my way through the sampler & gotta admit that the Churchill, Ninfas, Queen Corona, and Fat Fundy have all exceeded my expectations. My favorite sizes overall usually fall in the Corona and Corona Gorda sizing ranges, and these are so good that I'm now expanding my smoking horizons. The Lonsdale about to hit the shelves has me drooling...

[Dr vonPuffenberg]

Finally lit one up last night. Smoked the Pirámide Corta Suave mainly because the vitola looked like something I wanted to smoke yesterday and I didn’t see it mentioned yet on this thread. Very good stick! I lit up an Avo after that and it was trash compared to the MOFOH. Really looking forward to trying the rest.
