Your fallback cigar

[Sancho Fuente]

I was curious as to what everyones fall back cigar is. The cigar that is always on for you, that you can always rely on to deliver. This would be the cigar that you would reach for if you are just looking for a good smoke. $1.00 a piece or $100 a piece it doesn't matter.

Personally, I am a fan of Perdomo Lot 23 maduros. Not alot of complexity, but good flavors, great for a morning smoke with a coffee and a good book to get lost in. I am also big on the Sancho Panza Double Maduro La Mancha. Really no complexity, but in the 5 years I have been smoking I have never had a bad one. At $1.50 a piece they can even fall into the mulcher if you brush it with a branch and you won't be too disappointed. (oops) And one that I am sure is on alot of peoples lists is the JdN Antano 1970, lanceros for me are the jackpot.

So what do you grab when you know you just want a good cigar?

[N2 GOLD]

Padron 2 & 3K's work everytime... -(P

[Fordman4ever]

Tat havana VI Nobles or Oliva O.

[LasciviousXXX]

Montecristo Especial never fails to deliver for me. Excellent flavor profile and develops a real depth and complexity when properly aged.

Always a good go-to cigar :cool:

[Apoco]

Arturo Fuente Hemmingway. Classic, best seller, short story - whichever. A delicious and consistent cigar...I use it as a benchmark :tu

[CigarNut]

I have more than one -- just depends upon what is in my humi at the time: Cohiba Siglo II, any Padron, Montecristo Petite Edmundo, RASS, or AF Hemingway Short Story.

[Retiredguy]

Any Padron

[BeerAdvocate]

Brickhouse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[taltos]

Either a Perdomo2 Maduro or an Oliva G Maduro.

[shilala]

Padron 64 Monarca Maduro or 26 #6 maduro. If I'm smoking a bunch of different stuff and hit a bunch of duds and I'm in dire need of a "can't miss", either of those will work.

[elderboy02]

601 Blue

[Mugen910]

HU Coronas Major...

[Aero95]

Padron 2000

[TBone]

RP Edge or Fuente King and Queen B

[kaisersozei]

Any Padron, an illusione mk or (from my smaller humi ;)) a Punch RS11

[cricky101]

I always have Padron Londres or 2000s and Fuente Short Stories.

[nofeardiver]

Any Padron especially the 26 #9 Maddie, or anything Oliva including nub and cain...

[Volusianator]

Casa Magna Colorado Coronas

[Volusianator]

or anything Oliva

That's a pretty wide variety.

[OLS]

For me, one cigar that is excellent everytime is the Bolivar Petit Corona or (Coronas Junior, either one).
And now I have NONE!!!...................................Thanks, Slayer.

[burnem]

If I absolutely want to be satified, I'm smoking an Opus X. It has never let me down even during periods when the taste in my mouth was not cooperating (anyone ever get, what I call, yuckmouth?). If conditions are right, then I'm smoking a SCdlH Mercaderes. :dr

PS: Oh...great. Now I have the uncontrollable urge to go smoke one NOW!! Thanks a lot. :D

[kelmac07]

601 Blue

:tpd: How the hell did I forget about this staple?? It's not like I don't have 5 or 6 boxes in the vinos. :bh :bh

[MurphysLaw]

Fuente 8-5-8 natural, very consistent, never lets me down

[Bill86]

BRC's, HUCM, SCdlH El Principe, Boli PC, PSD4 and Cohiba Lanceros. Hell even a "not on" CoLa still > 95% of all other sticks out there.

For NC's Viaje Exclusivos always were good for me, I like the Oliva V Lanceros as well. My father Lanceros.....Any Lancero.

[maninblack]

601 Blue. Great smoke everytime.

[Volusianator]

LOL, works for me!

[awsmith4]

HU Coronas Major...

:tpd:

[Ashcan Bill]

The one cigar that has never disappointed me is the Partagas PC Especiales. Of all the smokes I enjoy, this one is the most rock like consistent.

Honorable mention goes to the Shorts and Boli PCs.

[dannysguitar]

DPG Blue or RASS

[jlaker]

HU Coronas Major...

:tpd:

Love these things. Consistently good and a great value.

[baddevildog82]

I always go back to one of the first premium cigars I bought, the Don Carlos #3. I love the toothy wrappers and the amazing flavors that I get from this cigar.

[76GTFan]

Siboney Reserve
601 Oscuro Tronco
DPG Blue Generosos

Hard to determine from fall back and one that people like so much they smoke alot. I wouldn't consider a RASS a fallback for me, becuase I don't stock them regularly. So ones I can keep stocked at a low price are what a fallback is to me.

Everything else is just naming consistent cigars that I would always smoke.

[icehog3]

Partagas 898.

[cigarflip]

Avatar says it all!:tu

[rebelknight]

DPG blue. I don't think I've smoked any more of another cigar and I've only had 1 that I wasn't really happy with. It was probably me, not the cigar.

[jimmyk26]

You smoke license plates??? haha.

[darkninja67]

Easy question: Tatuaje J21, I go through boxes of these things

[CoreyD]

Anything JDN or Liga Privada is/are my fallbacks but the AVO line is getting to that point but its rare I keep them they're so yummy. almost as hard as keeping my peppins,LFD's and Tats in the humi I smoke them so fast.

[BC-Axeman]

Thanks Peter and Jamie for remembering this oldtimer.
Been lurking, not posting, busy bidding, smoking plenty.
Add Oliva MB3 to my list of reliables.

[longknocker]

I always go back to one of the first premium cigars I bought, the Don Carlos #3. I love the toothy wrappers and the amazing flavors that I get from this cigar.

:tu My Fav. For The Price!:D

[htown]

Monte 4 or 5

[GWN]

My tastes are always evolving, so that's a tough question to answer. Often find what I thought was a fallback isn't as enjoyable anymore. Then I smoke a cheap-ass Fuente Curly Head Maduro that tastes great. Rather than looking back, I really enjoy moving forward.

[Kreth]

I always seem to come back to the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte. Great golf smoke, and CI has great deals on them fairly often.

[Volusianator]

and Tat Anarchy

These are plentiful enough to be considered a fall back cigar? I guess by fallback, I look at it as the daily smoker that you know will not let you down. Unless the OP just mean the later part of my last sentence. :sh

[sam a]

as of late... punch rs12

[SvilleKid]

Padron 2 & 3K's work everytime... -(P


:tu:dr:tpd:

Always grab a 2000 as part of the 3-6 I usually carry out with me!

[RevSmoke]

Oliva V, Padron,

[biggbob]

Cubao Nat or Casa Magna Colorado. From the darkside its Diplomatico #2 and Romeo cazzy.

[N2 GOLD]

:tu:dr:tpd:

Always grab a 2000 as part of the 3-6 I usually carry out with me!

That's because you can NEVER go wrong with PADRON... :dr

Hits the spot everytime... -(P

[Ervsuperb]

The problem with being a noob is reading threads like this one.


As soon as you think you've got a fallback, all these other types of great sticks pop up, you trade, buy and are gifted them, find some new gems then the old fallbacks fall the hell off, lol!:D

[BHK54]

So far it has been BHK54 for me ;)

[GreekGodX]

Monte #4 and PSD4

This makes me want one right now :dr

[Angus]

So far it has been a 601 Blue.....love these things :dr

[big a]

The 601 Red or 5 vegas A always seem to deliver.

[scoot]

601 Black. If it was the only cigar I could ever smoke I'd be happy. Other than that any Padron will deliver or the Fuente r52.

[Scottw]

Boli PC for me, I could smoke this stick everyday.

[thebiglebowski]

NC - either LFD chisel or JdN celebracion churchill.

CC - either siglo III or BCG.

[Tio Gato]

Lately I've been craving some of the first cigars from when I started smoking 20 years ago. One of the first boxes I had bought then was some AF Cuban Coronas. I remember being mad when they broke 24 bucks with shipping. Now about a C-note. Still yummy after all these years. I love these for a walk down memory lane.
These days when I need to rush out of the house I reach for an El Triunfador #4. Not really a fall back, but I know it will be great and won't make me smell a restroom at NY Port Authority.

A real fallback for me is a Te-Amo robusto. Oh that barnyard stink. Not allowed to smoke it in the truck if the bride is with me.-(P

[EricF]

I'd have to say any Tat. I really haven't found one I did not like!

[fhrblig]

For the last few months it's been either a Graycliff G2 (any vitola, but torps are my favorite) or an El Baton double toro 6 x 60. Both are always great.

[thecatch83]

So far it has been a 601 Blue.....love these things :dr

^This

And I've been smoking a lot of EO/DPG Murcielago's :tu

[Chemyst]

Ashton San Cristobal or AF Hemi maduro(any)

Chemyst :cool2:

[Old Sailor]

Trnidad Reyes!:dr

[AmsterDan]

The cigar that I rely on every single time would be an Oliva 'O' robusto. Starts mild, develops a smooth transition to medium/full body with creamy textures and tones ranging from soily woods to some light sweetness. I think it is a beautiful cigar for a very good price point.

[Kaiten]

I would have to say mine is a Cuban Montecristo No. 2. Just cant go wrong with it, classic smoke and they only get better with age.

[FelonyRuckus]

Cohiba Robusto...its just perfect...if price was no object

Behike BHK 54

[TheRuckus13]

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, no doubt.
