You only get to pick ONE! So play by the rules on this one. You only get one cigar for the reat of your know life..... but you get to smoke as many as your heart desires (for as long as it can handle it)......... what's your pick?

Me..... Liga Pravda #9

Then you can plant me.

For a balance of price, availability and consistency none other than either the Padron Londres, 2000, or the Delicias maduro.

Got my first Padron from a vet/newbie trade with Dave(WXYZ - his zipcode somewhere out in Oregon). Haven't seen him on the boards in ages. From the first one he gave me I was hooked.

I'd be on board with some Bucanero too but they don't make them anymore

Not too strong, not too mild. Not too long, not too short. Always tasty, always perfect draw. Consistent as the day is long.

Asylum 7 11/18

I'm assuming my choice is subsidized by a wealthy benefactor with great connections

Blackbird unkind robusto might change it to corona but I haven’t smoked the corona yet. I will try one soon I bought a single recently to see if that’s what I buy to refill my stash on those

No, the 11/18. 54ish in the center but slight taper at the head and sharper taper at the foot

I enjoyed it quite a bit, but not enough to take on the 7x70

Hard for me it would have to be LFD ORO but I do like the TNT from Viaje also. This would be a hard choice definitely not a Macanudo.

Haha , I thought that was funny...

I was gonna say I think you can have as many as you like. Not once it’s over you dead lol. I looked it up at “juniors” as they have 35 percent off today. If you need a coupon code I have one. Asylum usually work for those codes. I don’t know the brand very well. I was looking at the ogre in lancero but just not sure if I’m into that or not. If I’m feeling like a candela I have illusione hL in candela. Couldn’t think of what I wanted to burn that Coupon on. 35 percent is pretty respectable

Ogre's a good one IMO. Only had one lancero and it's been a while but smoked several romustos. Good flavor and not as in your face peppery as the regular Asylum 13.

Visiting Phoenix area? Pretty good smokes made by Davidoff.

I can't believe no one has mentioned CAO Gol.

Yeah! I grew up in the Phoenix area! A friend from undergrad and I have had a tradition for the last 5 years where we go to Ambassadors, get each other a cigar and a beer for Christmas, and discuss how the past year had gone.

The Vartan has been my gifted cigar for the last 3 years, it’s really solid.

There are two versions of the Vartan IIRC. I gifted some to someone here on a thread about custom house cigars about 6 months ago.

I'm not settled on any one cigar, but for the time being Oliva V Melantio maduro robustos would be my choice.

I actually don’t remember the exact name of the Vartan. It’s whichever one is milder, because fuller cigars still knock me on my ass. 😂

I couldn't do it, don't smoke the same cigar, have the same drink or eat the same food everyday. Only thing I'm stuck with is the same woman.

Montecristo Edmundo 2007

if those are no longer available, Padron 1964 Family Reserve 45 Years Natural

this is on somebody else's dime, right? May have to adjust the sights some if I'm paying...


to be honest, I'd prolly get tired of either one after a few years, but those two stand out as the best cigars I've smoked over the years...

I'm a "variety is the spice of Life" kinda guy, so this is more a curse than a celebration.
