What is the heaviest cigar you have enjoyed?

[McDuffie for Congress]

This isn't a competition to see who is the most many man. Be honest, please. Me? So far, the Partagas Black Label Magnifico. I don't know where this ranks on the weakest to strongest cigars list, but it is the strongest I have ever had and I have enjoyed two of them in two days.

 

[tedski]

OpusX Power Ranger.

Hands down, no question, for me it was a RyJ Cazadores....gave me the hiccups afterwards, but it was a damn tasty cigar.

 

[Electric Sheep]

I *love* the Partagas Blacks! They're strong, but not overly so. I enjoy them each and every time I have one (and that's relatively frequently).

Check out the Punch Rothschild Maduro-Maduro (not the single maduro), and also the Hoyo de Monterey Excalibur 1066 'Dark Knight', and also the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970, and the La Gloria Serie R maduro. Shoot, try the natural Serie R as well; I find it's even tastier (albeit not nearly as strong). You might also look into some of the La Flor Dominica cigars; the new Coronado is nice and strong too, even tho it's not a maduro.

As for the strongest I've truly enjoyed....personally, I'm a sucker for Tatuaje Brown Labels. They're all full-body and plenty strong, but still have a wicked-good taste.

:waving:

Definitely the Opus X Power Ranger, but this could be biased by some inhalation. A buddy and I were smoking 'em and he said they weren't as strong as he'd heard they were. Then he dared me to inhale. Long story short, I'm an idiot. That night didn't end so well. But the Power Ranger packs one heck of a punch.

 

[pharmgator]

For me it was the la flor dominican double ligero chisel

i remember that! too freaking funny!! you commented on the strength several times. i haven't smoked mine yet....

 

[Trumpetchris]

It was either the LFD Chisel Maduro or the JDN Antano Gran Consul. Both are powerhouses.

have to agree,,, the strongest lately, and very very tasty!!

 

[indyrob]

LfD Outlaw. Made me dizzy, made me hurl, made my head hurt. Looking forward to the next one!

 

[sascha]

oh yeah, LFD's on empty stomach, yumm.

 

[jkim05]

yeah, i just smoked a power ranger on saturday...long story short, tasty stick but man did my stomach churn. I definitely underestimated this cigar. I'm gonna have to try again sometime, but I am never underestimating the strength of a cigar again.

 

[gui_tarzan]

I had a Camacho triple maduro (pre-release version) recently that tasted awesome, very subtle until that night when I got sicker than a dog. Do NOT underestimate this one! The flavors are not powerful, they're rich but not overwhelming, but when the strength kicks in you'd better be sitting down.

 

[vperlman]

I'm all over the map on this one. Sure, LFD Double Ligeros and JdN Antanos are pretty strong, and Edges USED to be, but often I will smoke them and think "they're not all that strong." OTOH, yesterday, I had a HdM, then an AF 8-5-8, and then a NC Saint Luis Rey Belicoso. That SLR kicked my a$$ all over the street! I was dizzy for about a half hour, and it took most of the night for my stomach to feel completely normal! :lookaroun

I don't know if it was the cumulative effect of the 3 sticks or just that the SLR was super strong. I have also had that happen with AF Double Chateaus after smoking a couple of other cigars. The point is that, at least for me, sometimes the usual suspects just ain't all that, and some unlikely sticks jump up and kick me in the gut! :barf:

 

[frankluke]

litto gomez diez - robusto sized cigar.

Good point, Vic. I think that when I "feel" it, it's usually been a big night. A couple or four cigars, a few drinks, etc. All of a sudden you stand up, and you wish you hadn't.:bigeyes:

:yes: I am on the same level with the above cigars and love them a lot. The Power Ranger is one that I have not tried yet but I will need to fix that soon. Also Coronado by La Flor is another kick but cigar to try as well.

Cuban - Lusitania

Non C - Graycliff espresso
