Trinidad. Bought it in Germany where they are legal, smoked on the IV of July. Packed the punch of a whole Phalanx of Cohiba.

Which Trinidad? A Fundadore? I love them but the last few I've had were a very tight roll & had a hard draw.

Punch Grand Cru Robustos
I like most of the Punch line but the above is my favorite. I have smoked many different brands and still like Punch best.

They smell like the tobacco barns and tobacco warehouses around where I grew up. Good memories.

Ah, another JR man! I couldn't afford to smoke cigars without Lew. Those Ultimates are great but I've got to have the big ring gauges. At least a 50 and prefereably a 54.

I was a big fan of the Ultimate Padron (rebranded the Ultimate Principale after a copyright issue with Padron cigars in the late 90s) back when the Ults had the maroon label... I still keep a box around. The Ult roths are pretty good too... I prefer them to Punch or HdM Roths.
Have you tried the Consuegras yet? Some of them are pretty killer.

I've got 2 bundles in my Iglooador right now. I also really like the Mantequilla cigars. Another good value.

I like pipes when i have the time, Dunhill Nitecap is one of my fav.

But have recently grown fond of little Cigars you get in tins. 20-30 mins per smoke.
A. Fuente and Macanudo Maduros are the best of this type that I found so far.
Open to suggestions for small cigars...

Not a cigar but recently added this little gem to the rack. What a nice smoking rig. With more break-in time (cake), it may even top my dads old 1960’s Portobello bulldog.



And dads bulldog:

For my tastes and budget the Arturo Fuente's mentioned, the Hemingway and the three little perfecto's; Work of Art, Best Seller, and Short Story.

I very much like the Avo XO notturo tubos - corona in an orange metal tube. If you like a mild Davidoff you will probably like this stick too.

My favorite that I can no longer get is out of Peru, read that they will start importing them again. San Martin (St. Martin), the corona size.

Recent Pelican thread on it.
http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/1020370-cigar-question.html


If I want to treat myself these days it's a Florida Sun Grown (FSG), I like the lower cost one best, a torpedo tip, but it's about double the cost of my daily go to.
