Dark cigars, darker cigars, even darker cigars...

[McDuffie for Congress]

I like dark beers. It used to be the darker the better, but I have lightened up a bit. In other words, now you can see the sun through my beer of choice as opposed to a few years ago when it eclipsed the sun.

So, I am looking with great interest at very dark cigars. Very dark. Black, in fact. Can someone here recommend a very dark or black cigar that they have enjoyed?

Paratagas Black, always a good dark stick. Fuente Anejo's are good and dark as well, but pricey.

TTT Trinidads are pretty dark and tasty.

Partagas Black and Onyx Reserve are worth mentioning again. Besides those, I'd recommend AVO maduros, which aren't quite black but are very good. The CAO MX2 is another fantastic choice. For the price, avoid Cohiba Blacks.

These are DAMN fine Maddies!!

Now...that is the DARK SIDE.

 

[kirscovitch]

never had one, but i hear the Greycliff Expressos are very dark and strong!

Onyx Mini Belis are probably my favorite maduro. Indian Tabac Super Fuerte maddies are a kickass smoke too.

LGC serie R maddies are fantastic, Partigas Black, 5 Vegas A, Padron Maddies... Mmmm, gonna go to the humi and fish out a winner.

yeah, most of the ones i'd suggest are already up, but what i'd add is that you'd be looking for double maduro and oscuro wrappers. another nice oscuro is the punch rothschild double maduro.

I like the La Gloria Cubana Reserva maddies. The big perfecto with the pointy head and slightly tappered foot is my fav :applause:

 

[sarnone]

Gurkha Doble Maduro, Black Puro and Triple Ligero.

Everyone has hit the mark here giving you some great advice. If you are looking at staying low in price I would go with the Paratagas Black, 5 Vegas A, Onyx Reserve, or another one that no one has mentioned and is great for the price is the Oliva Series 'O' Maddie. It is dark and for the price you just cant go wrong even with B&M prices. Good luck on finding your match.

Torano Signature. May not be towards the black side, but man is that a tasty maduro.

 

[jmatkins]

I think they have covered it pretty good.

The two I would recommend have already been mentioned, but I'll name them just as another vote towards their purchase:

Partagas Black Label
Punch Rothschild Maduro-Maduro

Don't care about wrapper color as long as the cigar is good.
