What Is My Favorite Cigar?

[shilala]

Everybody always asks what you guy's favorite cigar is.
I'd like to know what MY favorite cigar is.
I'll give you a hint...
It's not a Party short.

Padron?

Oh sorry, I meant Patron.

Padron?

Oh sorry, I meant Patron.
NO.
There will be no parting gift or door prize. Just go home.
Next?

[shilala]

I had no idea this would be so much fun!!! :lr

[Malakai]

Whichever one you are smoking at the time?

[shilala]

Not even close, John. I throw cigars away all the time cause they suck.

[dave]

One that you smoked with your son(s)...or father?

[shilala]

Negative.
This is not a trick question or anything.

I think Bob's winning so far.
I do love anything PL. Except the RE's.
Probably my favorite marca.

I demand a recount!

I demand a recount!
No way, Cracker. :lr

Back in '08-09, I had a clear and decisive favorite.
Two, actually. Both were NC's.

That's kind of misleading, cause I think they stopped making one around '05, but I busted my ass to corner the market and bought every single one I could. PapaJohn liked the counterpart to the one I liked, it was his favorite.
He had to stop smoking because of his health and we don't see him anymore, he is very sorely missed.
One time Vin bought me a couple boxes of those delectable first faves, and that was the final nail. I smoked a zillion of them, and I absolutely loved them.
Then Cigars International bought the brand and turned them into doo.
That's good clues.

The cc side is tough, but I can tell you that the very best cc I have ever smoked, DaKlugs Dave shared with me at Shack.
An old PL Magnum.
I have been blessed to smoke literally everything, and that cigar was far and away the very best by a long margin.

But I only really smoke pedestrian cc's. At least to the tune of plain old off the shelf stuff. No RE's or LE's. So that really narrows that side.

Bahia?
Lol. Really?

Padron 1926 #6 maduro
That was the cigar that blew the whole cigar world open for me.
Still love them, but not my favorite.

DPG JJ Series Maduro
That was one of the old nc's. You should know the other one, too.

[The Poet]

Lol. Really?

Yeah, really. Yanks have no taste, and neither do yanks. :D

[shilala]

Lol. Still, Bahia?
Why not Quorum?

[Remo]

A Churchill with Chin nuts?? :sh

[The Poet]

Hey, the old Bahia Brazilian maduros, the ones with the yellow band, weren't half-bad with some age on them.

But yeah, it was a joke.

[kelmac07]

That was one of the old nc's. You should know the other one, too.

Those lovely Oliva Blue Cloth band Os... :dr :dr :dr :dr

Bolivar PC.
I was thinking the Gold Medal until you mentioned "plain old off the shelf stuff"

[shilala]

Mac got the two nc's. JJ Maduros and Oliva Blues.
Peter, I do love Boli GM's. They're pretty much off the shelf.

[icehog3]

Bolivar CJ or RASCC.

[shilala]

Negatory, Admiral.

[shilala]

The best ones I ever had were from '09, if that helps.

[The Poet]

Monte 2?

[shilala]

No, but I do like Monte 4's and 5's.

Another clue...
Most guys like the bigger ones from '98. I like 'em too, but they're too rich for my blood.

The NC is Indian Tabac, is it not?
(Disclosure - I remember years ago you did an experiment
with these, and I was one of the guinea pigs)

Oh, never mind, didn't read the prior posts.
