well, crap, you'll be disappointed by what hits your door. It was meant as a thank you for the way I've seen you help people out on here, but I guess it's a little light for that. Anywho, there are some decent sticks in there, but nothing in that league.

Thanks for all the lists so far. I could use a few more though!

32 sound about right or should we shoot for more?

[Donk]

32 sounds good to me. Looks really good.

 

[architeuthis]

I have nothing exotic on my list; and I really compiled this by what I buy most often, so it does not include cigars that I've had two times, liked a lot, which cost a fortune and I'll rarely if ever buy.

Chateau Fuente maduro
HdM Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight III
Por Larranaga Honduran
ERDM maduro torpedo
AVO #9
CAO Brazilia Gol
Padron 2000
HdM maduro Rothschilde
RyJ Vintage maduro
Montecristo white label robusto

Come on guys! Even if you can't get a top ten post as many as you can. Because right now some great cigars that should be in this won't make the cut.
