I'm curious as to everyone's favorite cigars....regardless of price what does your taste buds say are your favorites and the best you've ever smoked?

List you top 10, 15, 20, whatever, I'm curious to see the lists! :thumbsup:

Feel free to edit your lists if you remember something later to add/change.

I'm mainly interested in Non-Cuban. But if you want to incorporate Cubans that's cool, just specify that its a Cuban...

Ok, here is what I smoke most of the time and thus my favs, I figure that why smoke somethng that I don't enjoy! I may not smoke a few of them all the time, but most get smoked aot during the month.

I am not even going to bring CC into the equation, as in my humble opinion, there are some many great cigars that rival CC's if not surpass them, why spend the money. I do have some favorite CC's though.

Typically, I smoke robustos, toros and bellicosos, but like the coronas too!

Pepin Blue Label
Padron 1964 , 1926 Anniversay Any size (ONce a month)
Cabaiguan Corona Extra, Robusto Extra
Padron 2000, 3000, 5000 maduro
Any Tatuaje Cigar
Diamond Crown Maximus Robusto No. 5
Opus X Perfecxion X (Once in a great while)
La Gloria Cubana Series R No. 4, 5, 6 Maduro
Fonseca Cubano Limitado Any
Olivia Series V Any, but mostly double toro and double robusto.

El Rey del Mundo robusto larga - my first box buy long ago, still in reg rotation
El Rey de Los Habanos robusto - had my first one last week...amazing cigar!
Davidoff Millennium Blend robusto - been a fave for years, recently found a source of 5+ year olds :widemouth
Tatuaje reds - primarily Angeles
El Rico Habano - I don't see them mentioned often, but great cigars
Punch Champion & Hemi Short Story - I like the size/shape and probably wouldn't buy either for taste alone
Puros Indios Reserva Maxima - I must be lucky, because these have been great for me

There are many cigars that I have tried and enjoyed, but the ones I go to over and over are based not only on their flavor but also on what I can afford on a regular basis.

CAO Black
5 Vegas Series A
RP Vintage '90


Also I have found that as some of the cigars I initially didn't like have aged, They have become very nice. The biggest change I had noticed was in the Padilla 2006 limatado. Not very impressed when I first got them, but now agonizing over my last!

I've only had a one Tat, a Series P. So I don't feel really qualified to say it's a "favorite," but man that was incredible. Can't wait to try more/others.
