Alright, just wondering what your top five picks are right now when you go into the box to grab a smoke. Mine is pretty tuff...but close...

5. Cien Anos Churchill..(getting better with some age)

4. C10 Corona (just amazing)

3. OPus X fuente fuente (one size I can still depend on)

2. El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme (I'm sure my list will be all Cuban within a year, but the ERdM CS is the only one I smoke consistantly now)

1. Do I really need to say, you got it, Diploma! Ever since I went into the corojo aging room at the Camacho factory, the aroma really came alive for me.


Come to think of it there are a lot more sticks....but for the sake of a thread...there it is.

How about all of you?
 
5. C10 Crown Corona
4. Camacho Corojo Monarca
3. Cohiba Siglo V
2. OpusX Fuente Fuente
1. Diploma
 
Hmm, a tricky one...

5. Cusano C10 Corona

4. Punch Rare Corojo Dbl Corona

3. Montecristo #3

2. Cohiba XV 645

1. Davidoff Grand Cru #1

Just thinking about those cigars has put me right in the mood to light one up!
 
so many good ones...so hard to choose... but if I have to...

5. Romeo y Julieta Churchill
4. Partagas Serie D #4 (Thanks Bloofington...these things are freaking great!)

5. Maker's Mark (just for fun)
4. Sol Cubano Connecticut

5. Onyx Resv Mini Belicoso...Favorite everyday smoke
4. CAO Brazilia Gol

2. Cohiba Red Dot Robusto Cameroon
1. Davidoff Millineum Blend Robusto
 
I have my favorites right now like RyJ, and La Aurora, but I'm still in the stage where I've got to try everything I can. I don't think I've got more than 3 or 4 of any one brand in my humidor right now.
 
Brazilia Gol
Hoyo de Monterrey churchill
Ashton churchill
Torano Gran Reserva torpedo
(one) Cuban Romeo y Julieta corona tubo

Ask me again and I'll probably give you a slightly different list. The two that will always remain are the Brazilia and the Torano. I only had one Torano; and it was to date easily in the top two best cigar experiences I've ever had. Bought as part of the 90 rated sampler from Cigar.com, if I'm not mistaken.
 
1. Padron Anniversario 64
2. Avo Domaine #50
3. Montecristo White Court
4. Gurkha Legend
5. Ashton VSG

Some more inexpensive ones that I really like are the Carlos Torano Exodus Torpedos, Savinelli, SB, PB Cuban (new york local)
 
my collection is pretty humble right now, and im still pretty new to the game, but this is what i usually go for.

1. Padron 3000 maduro
2. RyJ 1875 Bully
3. La Gloria Cubana Series R #5 Maduro
4. Arturo Fuente Hemmingway Short Story
5. Cohiba Red Dot Robusto

no real order to these. if anyone has some ideas on what i might enjoy, (possibly on the cheaper side?) it would be much appreciated. gonna pick up some of these diplomas i am hearing so much about for the big 21st birthday celebration. wantin to get a box of padron fumas too, sounds pretty good for 45 bucks. (any idea when you'll get boxes in alex?)

later all
 
I haven't smoked too many yet, but here goes:

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story
Cohiba Red Dot Robusto

Looking forward to this months COTMC. Haven't had Cusano yet.
 
5. Partigas P2

Just a question for Cigarsmoka...

You mentioned that the C10 corona is one of your favorites. I've seen quite a few posters throughout this forum name that as one of their favorites also. I'm a big fan of larger cigars, but still placed the C10 in my favorites list and was wondering if larger sizes of this cigar are made and whether cigar.com will carry them?
