[bwhite220]

This is an awesome thread! My list of core cigar lines are:

• AF Hemmingways (love the SS natural and maddy)
• Ashton VSG (Corona Gorda is my favorite)
• Herrera Esteli (Lonsdale please!)
• La Palina El Diario (Kill Bill II for the win)
• LFD Airbenders (the Lancero is the boobies)
• My Father Natural (the No. 4 (Lance) is the boobies)
• Oliva Serie V (again, the Lance is the boobies)
• Padron 1964 (I prefer the Naturals but obviously the Maddys are great, too)
• Sobremesa (I'm in love with the Cervantes Finos)
• Tatuaje Cojonu (2003's are my favorite of the line)
• Undercrown (specifically the Corona ¡Viva!)

 

[ATL827]

My go-tos (ie affordable) are:
Tatuaje, any i've had
Cao Italia
AF 858 & SS
Oliva V

 

[jasonatjl]

When I'm reaching for what I like to call, a daily driver, I usually end up with one of these:

DE MUWAT Nightcrawler
DE Herrera Esteli (regular and Norteno)
Padron 3000
Oliva Serie V Robusto (and Melanio)
Oliva Serie O Robusto
Brickhouse Robusto
CH La Imperiosa Magicos
MF Le Bijou Petite Robusto
DPG Blue Corona
Tatuaje Petite Cazadores Reserva

 

[StogieNinja]

Crowned Heads Four Kicks
DPG Blue Generosos
My Father Cedros Deluxe Eminentes
Quesada Espana
Tatuaje Brown Label Noellas
RoMa Craft Intemperance

There are more, but those are the ones that stick out at the moment to me. Some of my favorite regular releases are pretty new (Matilde, Caldwell LLTK, Warped everything). Pretty much all of my regular core-line, regular-release favorites are CCs.

Interesting to look back. I think 2 and 3 would still make my list, but 1, 4, 5 and 6 would not. Espanas seemed to really fall off, the RoMa Craft Intemperance in particular is to heavy for me now, and I just don't have Tat or Four Kicks, and haven't bought more because other stuff has taken precedence.

Of the newer stuff I liked then, LLTK got really hit or miss, Matilde I still think is a good stick, just not one I have or smoke, and Warped remains high on my list.

Would now add:
Warped Futuro, Flor de Valle, Maestro del Tiempo 5205
Drew Estate Hererra Esteli
Foundation El Gueguense
Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano

But my last comment remains 100% true: Pretty much all of my regular core-line, regular-release favorites are CCs.

I clearly need to step my game up!
