List of "must" smokes...

double D · Jul 24, 2006

All, I hope this isn't an annoying thread, but I'd love to lean on the experience of the members here to help me put together my next cigar order.

I'm sure like everything else, taste is subjective, but there has to be some well known cigars that can be considered a staple in everyone's humidor.

So, if you can answer the question "you haven't smoked a cigar, until you've smoke __________", then reply here.

Thanks in advance.

Por Larranaga Petit Corona (with at least two years age on it). Heaven.

Also: for the most consistent and classic cigar taste that is an all around great cigar: 5 vegas classic. I really like that cigar; and the price is great.

Ditto!
Haven't had the 1926, though. Just the '64. OUTSTANDING!

Throw in a C 18 paired maduro, CAO MX2 and Sopranos.

I totally agree. Eclipse_man gave me my first Padron '64. Thanks again, Eclipse_man!

dejoro · Jul 25, 2006

I'd have to echo with those touting the Padron '64, they really are a super excellent smoke.

Kelvin · Jul 25, 2006

Had my first one last week - and man it was a GREAT stick.
