skid11 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Not too many as over time I've been drawn towards smoking more and more cubans only. The aroma of a good cuban can never be matched........ well for me any way.:-) However, I still enjoy a Padron 3000 and Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente.

herfkid Posted September 4, 2005 Share Posted September 4, 2005 I'm all over the place -- I tend to smoke habanos on the weekends; weekday smokes tend to be non-cubans. Not much is in "rotation," as I'm still trying a wide variety of cigars. Various CAO lines, however, will probably work in (Criollo and MX2 are definites so far).

strayvector Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Ever since I started with the Cubans 2 years ago, I no longer have any non-cubans in my rotation. I recently smoked an Ashton VSG (something I used to enjoy) and found it lacking. It started out fine, but got harsh halfway through. I've found that to get the complexity and smoothness of a typical Cuban, you'd have to spend quite a bit more with other domestics. $20 for an Opus X vs. a $10 PSD4, I'll take the PSD4 everytime.

thschrminm Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 Normal rotation for me on domestics are: - LFD Chisels with maduro wrappers... - AF Anejo #55, #49 and #46... - Padron 5000, 6000, 1964 and 1926 all with maduro wrappers... - Graycliff espresso pirates... - Perdomo Edicion de Silvio robustos... A couple of others on occassion but these are my go to smokes for domestics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swl Posted September 6, 2005 Share Posted September 6, 2005 A few Non-Cubans that I enjoy from time to time: Arturo Fuente 858 Fuente Don Carlos #2 Fuente Hemingway Signature and Work of Art Original Release Anejos Davidoff Capa Dominicana 48 Padron Anniversario 1964s Maduros Well aged Padron Anniversario 1964 Naturals (very different taste to that of a fresh one) Opus X #2 La Aurora Perferido The Costa Rican made CAO Belicoso Maduro like the original Bahia Gold were very good but went downhill when they switch manufacturer.

cgrsmkr Posted September 9, 2005 Share Posted September 9, 2005 I have a few odds and ends laying around, but they're by no means in the rotation. Actually, had a Torano Tribute (2004 I think) a few weeks ago that was kind of disappointing. Wasn't harsh or anything, just seemed kind of flat. Guess I'm spoiled.

Smokin_Safari Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Need a few non Cubans for rotation given my mood & drink, but most of all to give to freeloaders & first timers. Currently have a box each of Torano LEs, Fuente Short Stories, Opus Xs, Davidoff Special Rs, Padron Annies, Cuesta Ray #1s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nely Posted September 15, 2005 Share Posted September 15, 2005 My favorite nc's are the Partagas black (the best maduro outhere imo) CAO brazilia pirahnas, chateu fuente sungrown and maduro, and for a really tasty, smooth and creamy cigar I reach for the inexpensive Gran habano #3 corojo wrapped. Also Torano gold and ERDM robustos are frigging awesome with some rest time on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
