What are YOUR Top 13 Cigars?

[Lockspur]

After having a discussion with a friend about good smokes, it got me thinking...what would be our top cigars? I'm constantly saying that such and such is in my top 10, top 20....top 5. But I have never mapped them out. Have you?

This being the Asylum, I am maxing the list at 13. Please be sure to list your fav vitola and general impressions...if you can remember them.

I can't. Which is why I will post my list when I get back to my notes after work.

Purple Cobras ready?!? Average Joe's ready?!?

DODGEBALL!

p.s. if this already exists, and I'm a newb, please lock and toss the key. :)

Then I renounce my throne, and offer the Asylum for sale for the sum of eleventy million dollars.
