I have been on a spicy kick lately. Ever since trying my first 601 La Bomba I have fallen for spicy cigars. So far I have tried 601 La bomba, CAO Extreme, Don Pepin Cuban Classic, Don Pepin Garcia Blue, Gurka Yakuza, RP Super Ligero, Tatuaje Havana VI, Tatuaje Fausto, and Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu. Is there anything out there with more spice than these? I feel the more I smoke spicy sticks the more spice I want, so far the CAO Extremes and the 601 La Bombas deliver the most with the super ligero a runner up but definitely feel it doesnt live up to its name. Any one have any recommendations for some super spicy sticks?

The Cu-Avana Punisher Jalapeno (and the regular Punisher I believe) has actual capsaicin infused in the head if I'm not mistaken. Never had one but heard they are pretty spicy. Cigar.com and CI have them. LFD's Double Ligero Maduro Chisel has a nice spice note, nothing crazy. Their La Nox is also peppery, I wouldn't say spicy, but some people have said they tasted spices in that stick. Tatuaje's Cojonu 2003. Man of War Ruination and Little Devil I've heard are spicy from people but I didn't get that when I smoked the Ruination (never had the devil). Diesel Unholy Cocktail was relatively peppery to me, maybe on the spicy side?
Opus as in Opus X? Definitely would love to try one some day but seem to be like the holy grail of cigars and even when in stock are super expensive.
Thanks for the recommendations! I have had the MoW Ruination and like you I didnt pick up much spice in it, I also have had a diesel unholy cocktail and thats a pretty good stick, thanks for reminding me about it. Definitely going to look into getting some LFD Double Ligero and Cu-Avanas.
Yea tell me about it. That's why I've never smoked it.
Basically anything by my father has a nice spice kick. Padron thousand series as well.
Recently had a CAO Amazonian, great stick and pretty spicy after the first third. Another vote for LFD Double Ligero and Joya De Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo. All fairly budget minded and I've enjoyed them.

La Palina Black, maybe?
Not trying to derail here, but the spicy conversation baffles me - what does "spicy" taste like? I'm just as guilty as anyone else, but I feel like we use the term to describe when a cigar has a kick that we just can't place, or even a palate assault that overwhelms, more than we do a flavor...

I had a joya antano this weekend and it slapped me across the face like I paid for it. Haven’t had my ass handed to me by a cigar like that in a long time.
It tasted great though.
For me, a spicy cigar is literally spicy, like a pepper. there may be vegetal flavors that give it a specific kind of spicy, a lack of a vegetal tinge is to me 'black pepper' still spicy but not pin pointable like "red chilli pepper" or whatever. But that's just how i interpret it. TBH my pallate isnt developed enough to tell specific pepper flavors apart, but like i can tell between "this ones kind of like a jalepeno or red pepper or something" and "this ones like black pepper".
