Pics are encouraged. I'm kind of a newb to the hand rolled cigar world. My favorite is the Acid Kuba Kuba.

I've seen NC cigars like this and I've always wondered how you smoke it? I envision 3 little people with their faces squished together, puffing on each end. lol.

Are you suppose to draw from each one individually, or smoke them all at once? Do you unravel it? It seems like it would be hard to get a good seal around all 3 sticks with your lips.

Untie the ribbons, remove the band, and they are three crooked, but separate, cigars.

I have seen one person smoke all three bundled, however.

I'm guessing that it was the 70s Partagas Corona gifted to me in Fort Worth 1.5 years ago. The person gifting it smoked its twin with me. That may influence my opinion a tad. Of course, the same person gave me a 60s H.Upmann Corona last year and it was phenomenal as well. 70s RyJ No 2 tubo was also very memorable.

02-07-2012, 10:25 PM
Hmmm... after a lot of thinking... and smoking.. currently, my favorite smoke to date was the La Flor Dominicana Factory Press #2.

Unfortunately, the few we had left at the shop were bought by one of our regulars, and I only ever had one. Bleh.

Other than that, I'm also a huge fan of the Guillermo Leon Gran Corona and Belicoso, LFD Perfecto Habano, and the Esteban Carerras 187. Those are my go-to favorites these days.

My fav is the Brickhouse Toro. I picked up a Toro Tin awhile ago, but they were only a one time thing. I prefer a robusto size cigar but Brickhouse's robusto is a bit big in the ring gauge size for me for a robusto. The toro's ring size is the same, though a bit longer in length for me, but no biggy. I get a better feel with the toro in my hand when the ring size is bigger. For the price and the amount of flavor that comes out of this cigar, make it my favorite cigar of all time. I haven't smoked many of them lately but when I don't know what to smoke, I grab a Brickhouse.

80's Davidoff Dom Perignon on my 30th birthday......the thing smoked like a dream and I only hope I have another cigar that satisfies my pallate like that cigar did. Incidentally, it's the only Davi that I have ever smoked that I considered "on".

40s Cabana thanks to Balls

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/awsmith4/48d98f5b.jpg

And an 02 RA 898, though I think this one was less to do with the cigar and more with the location and the company.

http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg250/awsmith4/ShackRA898.jpg

Many more spring to mind though they are almost all tied to a good herfing experience so I often wonder how good they were or was I just in that good a mood.

No pics from me on this one. But the best cigar I've ever smoked was smoked at about 4,000 feet above sea level somewhere in north Carolina between neel's gap and the trailhead of the AT in Georgia. In the company of my best friend (and best man) and my father. It was cold as hell out and the wind was blowing like crazy. Paired with the soft glow of a campfire and the mix of peach shcnapps and Bacardi 151 I had squirreled away in my pack, that 2001 Boli Belicoso fino was so memorable, it still feels like only yesterday.

There are two that stand out for me:

LA Cien Anos
Fuente Hemingway maduro

The Fuente had plume, little sparkling crystals all over. Outstanding.
The Cien Anos was well aged and was a near perfect smoke for the day.

Bought a box of each. Luckily they were not in the same year, so I could
afford a box of both. They have been aging for 2+ years now.

Only smoke them on special occasions.

I've smoked a lot of cigars, but three really stuck out the most:

1) Tat SW Reserva Maduro Smoked my first at Epic 2010 amazing smoke!

2) Johhny O Lonsdale Natural (I damn near had an orgasm it was so good!)
I ended up sending my girl at the time an Xrated text message (in the midst
of my euphoria) that was read by her aunt and cousin who were snooping
around on her phone while she was in the shower! Damn text got me in trouble!
It was creamy, rich, and buttery!

3) Padron 80th Maddy! Smoked one on my 34th Birthday! Amazing smoke!:tu

Here's my noob review:

Excellent burn, the "wick" at the end is pure ligero which runs through the whole stick, produces tons of smoke, very creamy and rich flavors, spice reminds me of pumpkin pie aftertaste, slight flavor of wet chocolate/mocca cake which changes around.. switches to hay/barnyard/grass/roasted nuts

The draw is superb due to the entubar rolling method vs bunching.. What sucks is they're expensive. :(

As of today, my new favorite is the Illusione CG:4. I enjoyed every single second of smoking it. I normally put down my sticks when the smoke starts to get too warm...I smoked this thing to about 5cm of wrapper left. It was unfairly good!

I always say that my desert island smoke would be the PLPC, but either of these would not be unwelcome.

Or on the traditional side, this:

Then again, I smoked my ~30th cigar last night and I still can't really differentiate flavors very well haha I base mainly off of burn, draw, and flavor harshness. The Java was oily and tasted like chocolate :)

This is a difficult question to answer so im going to split it into multiples.

Fave "go to" would be between the Bolivar Royal Corona i must have 45+ unopened boxs and well over 100 singles of these and the H.Upmann Connie No1 with 20+ unopened boxs and half a opened box left from last monday.

Fave cuban of all time would be Diplomatico No4 as ive smoked more of them than any other and was gutted when they scrapped them.

Fave goto NC would be anything by brickhouse or oliva or AF all 3 are stella in my books

Fave NC of all time would be AF opus X lost city double robusto as i love everything about it.

Oh i fell in love with the bolie RC years ago its just everything i like in a cigar with a great size/gauge to go with it and the old pre 74 RCs named the prince Charles are good too but they are almost non existent now and i get the feeling if i dont smoke them soon they will just turn to dust in my hands.

Yes i might be a bolivar slut.

Oh common the rangpur makes one hell of a good daquari variation and a pretty good gin mojito too.

2.5oz rangpur
1oz FRESH lime juice
dash of lime bitters
little bit of sugar

My favorite cigar of all time?

Hoyo D Monteray excalilbur # 1. No cigar will ever taste as sweet. It wasn't so much the cigar itself but teh circumstance smoking it celebrated.

For me, its a toss up between a Royal Corona Tubo and a FFOX #2. Both had been aged for a couple of years. I've since ordered both and they've been less mind blowing. Age certainly is a factor. These days my most consistent fave is the Partagas Presidente.

considering i've been smoking on and off for 6 years now, i feel like my cigar smoking experience is not impressive at all! Very little CC's and i haven't been keeping up with any of the hyped cigars over the past 1-2years. BUT so far i'd have to say (in no order)

I was gifted an aged H Up Mag 46 several years ago and I can't begin to describe the flavors that thing imparted. It had depth and character and changed flavors throughout, but in an awesome way. That got me hooked on the CC slide for a time. Now, I'd have to say the Liga Privad #9, but only because I haven't tried the FFP yet.

ALL TIME-70/80's Por Larranaga Dunhill #33. Smoked at SoCal two years ago, shared with some very good friends.

1994 smoked last year on my birthday would be a close second. But the cigars smoked when with good friends always seem to smoke better. :tu

I had a Diplomatica #2 that was part of a blind taste test, that I remember feeling a little depressed after the toothpick that I was using as a holder to get the last little bit of it smoked caught fire. It was wonderful. I had no idea what I was smoking until a few days later when my lame guess was corrected.
Oliva V is my favorite "treat" cigar.

I just thought I'd bump this so you can see if your favorite has changed.

Mine certainly has.

When I posted that my fav was the Kuba Kuba, I didn't really care for non infused cigars.
I think this was due to how I was smoking them because I thought they were harsh.
Now that you guys have helped me and opened my eyes I haven't had an infused cigar since.

My new favorite is either the Diesel UHC or the DPG JJ

I had the pleasure of trying one of these as well in Rochester two weeks ago, I think it was the most unique cigar I have tried. I think it may be my favorite, but I tried so many at that herf that blew my mind I can't pick.
