Your go to cigar..

[colinb913]

What is it? I am trying to "broaden my horizons", therefore I am looking to see what everyone here likes to fall back on as a solid smoke. I personally like the Diesels, but I am out, and wanting to try something new.. Let me know!!

[darkninja67]

Right now for me these are my "go to" sticks:
Oliva V belicoso
Cabaiguan Guapo Maduro
601 Green La Punta
Padron Anniversary 1964 Exclusivo maduro

[captain53]

It varies from time to time but my top go-to's are: (These are all strong medium to extra full strength smokes)

Padilla Miami
Padilla-1932
Padilla-1968
LGC Serie R #6
LFD Double Ligero

[RevSmoke]

Go to? Hmm, that's a broad list.

Oliva V (Double Toro, Double Robusto, Lancero)
Oliva Connecticut (Robusto & Lonsdale), & Oliva O (Corono & #4)
Taboo HSG (Double Toro & Torpedo)
DPG Black (Perla)
Padron 3000 Maduro

And there are others that I'd like to have as my go to smoke, but they are out of my price range.

[Emjaysmash]

I like sampling many things, but when I want to sit down with a smoke I know I will enjoy I always grab a Padron Maduro. Any Padron will do.

[pitbulljimmy]

My Go-To's are Habanos. I got RyJ Mille Fleurs and PL Panatellas, Upmann Mag. 50's or HdM Epi. # 1's for when I feel like something bigger. Anything but a Guantanamera for me and I'm happier than a pig in poo. I try to smoke the pricier stuff like Cohibas or anything EL or RE as celebratory smokes. Anything else regular production counts as a Go-to in my books.

[Razorhog]

Tatuaje Havana VI Nobles (robusto)
Pepin Cuban Classic 1952(petite corona) and 1979(robusto)
San Cristobal Classico (robusto)

All of these are fantastic and reasonably priced.

[neoflex]

Lately, it seems I don't hit the same smoke more than once a month, but if I had to pick what seems to get me most often is it's probably the Tat Havana VI Artistas.

[Mpython24]

I will either fall back on a CAO gold or a Romeoy Julieta Reserva Real. That's just me though.

[acruce]

Taboo Twist, and Oliva Series O

[G G]

I seriously don't have one, I like lots of different sticks and am always trying new ones.:tu

[colinb913]

Looks like I have some buying to do!

[mcmoyer]

I seriously don't have one, I like lots of different sticks and am always trying new ones.:tu

That's me. :ss

[Mugen910]

I seriously don't have one, I like lots of different sticks and am always trying new ones.:tu

:tpd:

[Barndog]

Oliva V Lanc or belicoso
Pinar del Rio Sun growen
LFD 452

[smokin5]

I smoke a large variety over the course of a week or a month, but I find myself returning to a few inexpensive stalwarts:
Perdomo Slow-Aged Lot 826 Natural
5 Vegas Series "A"
Padilla Hybrid
Padilla Obsidian
Arganese Presidente Maduro
Tatuaje Series P
DPG Fumadores

[icehog3]

I rarely smoke the same vitola twice in a month...the Mag 48s and RyJ Dukes have both been recent exceptions, as well as some slightly aged Bolivar PCs.

I dig variety, what can I say?

[colinb913]

And my shopping list grows... :p

[fuente~fuente]

Go to's would be...

Tatuaje Reserva SW
Liga Privada (9 or T52)
Illusione ~cg:4~
Anejo 55 & 77's

Go to budgets...

Diesel
CAO La Traviata
Brick House
Tobacos Baez Serie SF

[issues]

Mine seems to change depending on my most recent inexpensive box purchases.

I can say that pretty much all of my go to sticks are the cheaper DPG blends though (Ambos Mundos No. 2s, El Rey de los Habanos, Petite Tatuajes, DPG Cuban Classic 1977s, Blue Label Lanceros, etc.).

[colinb913]

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

[NCRadioMan]

When it comes to nc's, I smoke Pepin blended and made cigars 99% of the time. Unless I am trying something new and that's only because it's a work requirement. :ss

[issues]

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

Diesels are probably going to be a go to for me soon but I'm letting them rest for a few months before I start to devour the cab.

:ss

[Razorhog]

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

They are $100 a box. Save up for them, it's what I do. Although for that much money you could get some Tatuaje Reds. :2

[akumushi]

My go-to cigar tends to be whatever I have the most of, when the stocks get low I order something else and try to keep the last few of the old boxes to age. That being said, I'm really digging the Partagas Mille Fleurs now (CC) as an everyday smoke that won't break the bank but has a great taste and aroma. The Montecristo Especiales and PSD4 are cigars I have a hard time keeping in stock. Damn are they tasty.

[colinb913]

Since I throw pocket change and singles and fives into a jar on top of my dresser every night, that will become my new cigar fund.

[Mpython24]

That my friend is a great idea!

[colinb913]

Just the change I accumulate from the gas station, convenience store, vending machines, wal mart/target. Stuff like that.

[JaKaacH]

Padron Londres
Padron 3000
Flor de Oliva
Hoyo de Monterrey Dark Sumatra
Don Pepin Blue and Black label..

[mithrilG60]

Currently my go to's are Alec Bradley Maxx Nano's, Oliva V Double Robusto's and Padron 3000 maduro's on the NC side and Choix Supreme's and Rafael Gonzalez Petite Corona's on the Cuban. However I do tend to smoke a wide range.

[Beer Doctor]

I don't have a go to cigar. I almost never smoke the same cigar twice in a row (i.e. Tuesday and then Thursday). I love variety:banger

[ScottishSmoker]

For me, it all depends what I have in stock...
When they are in stock, I grab La Riqueza Double Coronas, Tatuaje Reserva SWs, Tatuaje Cojonu 2009, Illusione ~4/2g~, and sometimes San Cristobal Monumentos....

When I am not at work...Bolivar...

[JJG]

My go-to cigar tends to be whatever I have the most of

haha I was going to post this too.

I don't have an everyday favorite cigar because I like to smoke a variety. so when you say "go to cigar" I'm thinking of something that has a very unique flavor and is dead-on consistent.

In that category I would say, Padron 64s, Partagas shorts, Opus X/Anejo/Don Carlos, and even though people complain about the lack consistency on these, the Monte #4.

These are the cigars I keep coming back to, because I can count on them to taste the same way every damn time I light one.

[massphatness]

Sig II

[colinb913]

Know anywhere I can get Opus X singles?

[yourchoice]

I seriously don't have one, I like lots of different sticks and am always trying new ones.:tu

:tpd: To a tee

[darkninja67]

Give egars a call for single.
Emersonscigars.com has FFOX fivers

I agree. "go to" cigars are the ones you know what you are going to get, consistent and always a good smoke.

Yeh, I am in the same boat as Tom. I would say I hardly ever smoke the same cigar twice in 6 months unless it is something I am really craving.

That is what happens when you either buy too many cigars or get too many samplers. :D

[captain53]

I loved the Diesel I had, just can't afford a box. :/

They usually show up on JoesDailySpecial once a week or so @ 10/$29.99 with Free Shipping which is less than the box price and not such a big investment.:2

[kelmac07]

My go to sticks...these never disappoint!!

Camacho Triple Maduro
ML3
Tampa Sweetheart #500 Maduros
Diesels (lately)

What? I don't have the unlimited cigar fund going.. I am a student, so finding the least expensive, good sticks is my priority.

[Aron]

Seeing as how I'm a college student without a steady income other than my weekly allowance, I like to keep things cheap.

I've fallen in love with Olivas, be they Serie G, O, or V (yum, yum, yum!)
Relatively inexpensive, but very full of body and flavor. Highly recommended.
In addition, Sancho Panza's also a wonderful smoke.

You can probably tell that I loves me some maduro. And I do. 'Cuz it's yummy. :)

[colinb913]

Aron, I am a high school student, so I know how you feel!

[Aron]

In that case, steal your cigars! Steal as many as you can fit in your enormous pockets!

(Please don't steal cigars)
(But if you do, please send some to me)

:r:r:r

[colinb913]

I am sorry, please explain, and I will try to clear it up for you.

Never mind. I just looked up the single Opus X and saw the price.. I didn't know that they were that expensive!!!' I am guessing that is what was confusing everyone..

[Aron]

Yeah, they're something ridiculous. I honestly wonder if they're worth the prices they command...

[Tripp]

I think what he's saying is that he wants to smoke cheapo's regularly and is looking for reccomendations on what to buy, but is also interested in trying an Opus.

On topic, for years, I would go to the B&M once or twice a month, and pick up a fistfull of sticks, usually spending $30-$50 each time. More recently I've decided that I can keep expanding my horizons, but instead of buying 5-6 sticks I'm looking to try a couple times a month, I just buy a <$100 box every month or so.

Some of my go-to sticks are:
Tabacos Baez SF - Mixed filler, medium bodied with tons of flavor from Don Pepin. They run about $40 for a box of 20.
Fumadores - Available only from Holts, they're another mixed filler Pepin, that are also around $40 for 20.


Some other good ones to try would be Don Pepin Garcia Black, Gran Habano 3 Siglos, Gran Habano Corojo, and Tatuaje P series(White Label, though they seem to be getting harder to find)

[tx_tuff]

If I want to make something I know I'm going to love its either a Padilla Miami Robusto or a Illusione 88.

[colinb913]

Tripp you nailed it! I am trying to find inexpensive sticks to buy so I can "broaden my horizons" but am also interested in the Opus brand.

[Razorhog]

I am sorry, please explain, and I will try to clear it up for you.

Never mind. I just looked up the single Opus X and saw the price.. I didn't know that they were that expensive!!!' I am guessing that is what was confusing everyone..

Since you're in high school, I'll assume you are 18. You are 18 aren't you?
If so, check out any stogies by Punch, very reasonably priced and most B&M's have them.

[Tripp]

Tripp you nailed it! I am trying to find inexpensive sticks to buy so I can "broaden my horizons" but am also interested in the Opus brand.

Opuses aren't quite as expensive if you get them from the right place. $11-$15 if you get them from someone who doesn't jack the prices up. IMO, they're worth the money, but even if I could afford it, I still wouldn't smoke them every day. I'd recommend picking one of if you ever get the chance.

[colinb913]

Tripp- I was looking at cigar.com they were 25-32 a piece..

[kelmac07]

Tripp- I was looking at cigar.com they were 25-32 a piece..

That is the marked up price Tripp was talking about. :r

[Thrak]

Go to is

Oliva Serie G
Perdomo SlowAged
Perdomo Lot 23

and new on the list

Diesel :D

[Mr.Erskine]

I used to fall back on pretty much any Exile, but my B&M hasn't carried them in over a year..

Now, it's usually:
Oliva Serive V (torpedo when possible)
AVO Maduro No. 2
Rocky Patel The Edge

[Addiction]

Try the RP Sungrown, not to expensive and a tasty little stick in my opinion. I used to love those.

[Emjaysmash]

I started smoking when I was in High School too.

I smoked:
Sancho Panza Double Maduros/Extra Fuerte
Perdomo Lot 23
Padron 2000 Maduro
Punch
and an Acid once :pu

Those are relatively inexpensive with a good range of flavors. Stay away from Acid though. Its was more $$ and less "good" flavor than any of them!

[CigarNut]

This is kind of funny. I was at a family event this weekend and ran into someone who I have not seen in a long time and we both found out that the other likes cigars. So he asks me, what are your favorites?

I stutter and stammer and draw a blank. I manage to get out Padron and LGC, but there are so many cigars that I like that I was overwhelmed try to name just a few.

Later on after I thought I about it I remembered that I could have referred to my MobileStogie app :)

[Aron]

Emjay,

Those Sancho Panza Double Maduros and Extra Fuertes are, in my opinion the best bang-for-your-bug cigars out there. Nice old-school cigar bands, too!

[smokin5]

In addition to my 'more regular' smokes noted earlier,
Cigars almost guaranteed to be in the rotation every 2 weeks +/-:
Padron 2000 Maduro
Partagas
Perdomo Reserve Cameroon
Perdomo CI Legends
Peterson Gran Reserva
Punch Gran Puro
DPG Cuban Classic
Torano Exodus 1959
Cuban Crafters Cabinet Reserve
EO 601 Black (or Blue)
5 Vegas Gold
El Rey del Mundo Natural

[tobii3]

So he asks me, what are your favorites?

your reply should have been -

""The Good Ones""

[htown]

Monte #4 or Boli PC

[CasaDooley]

Not so much my "go to" but I can always depend on a Party short to taste exactly how I want it to. I,m very fortunate to have a pretty good selection of cigars and when I feel like a smoke, I just go and rummage through my collection and grab what I've been thinking of.:ss

[BigCat]

For me its a CAO Brazilia, a Padron 3000 maduro or a Partagas Black label. They almost always hit the spot for me.

[BeerAdvocate]

PinardelRio HSG
AB Tempus
AB Prensado
7-20-4
DPG Black Label

[Slow Triathlete]

Oliva V Lancero.

Can't get enough.

[joeybear]

601 Blue or Green

[Kreth]

SPDM or SPEF
Perdomo Slow-aged Lot 826 Maddie
ITSF Maddie
Victor Sinclair Triple Corojo
El Mejor Emerald
Flor de Oliva Corojo or Maddie
A new addition: Famous Nic 3K. Kinda sad that the construction on these is better than many premiums. :rolleyes:

For the OP, check out this thread (http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=643). Lots of cheap, tasty, smokes.

[Aron]

Oliva V Lancero.

Can't get enough.

Holy cow, but those Serie V Lanceros are some of the best see-gars I've ever tried. I really need to save up for a box!

[Ratters]

Have a few.

Camacho Corojo
JdN Antano and now the Fuerte
DPGCC
601 Red

[maverickdrinker]

anything cohiba, with a preference for Siglo VIs and lanceros

Tat j21s

[Chemyst]

Affordable 'go to's:

HdM Excalibur
CAO Brazilia
RyJ Reserve maduro (aged)
Oliva V
Pepin Serie JJ maduro
Torano Casa Torano maduro

Not as affordbale 'go to's:

San Cristobal
RP Olde World Reserve
La Aurora Cien Anos
AF Hemingway maduro

Expensive, rarely smoke 'go to's:

Opus X
AF Anejo
PAM

The Diesel I tried seemed very good for the money.
Punch Rare Corojo is affordable goodness.
San Luis Rey is worth a try.
I don't smoke many Tats, but have tried the Havana VI... vg.

There are other affordable go to smokes. They escape
me at the moment. RP 1990/92/Fusion, RP Edge Missile,
Padron X000 maduro, among them. Try some factory
seconds like the RP X-outs, and Consuegra No. 9 maddie.

Chemyst :cool2:

[Caymus]

Oliva V torpedo
Rocky Patel 1992
Graycliff 1666
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero
Oliva Connecticut

Peppin Cuban Clasic Robusto
AFL Air Bender
CX2 Maduro

[King James]

I have started to become quite the Punch whore, but for some reason a El Principe never lets me down

[SouthernSmoke]

if you like the diesels, give the 601 blues a try. padilla 1932's are pretty solid smokes if you can find them on cbid for a decent price. lately I have been enjoying Oliva V's and My Father's.

check in to some illusione cigars...I really enjoy the CG4 alot

[CigarNut]

I just recently got some Padron Principe Maduros, Padron 2000 Maduros, and Brickhouse cigars. These are all now part of my go-to cigars. :)

[longknocker]

Any Tat!
