Ah, ok. Seems like there's been a lot of buzz just in the last few months, so I assumed it was a recent release.

I can't think of a cigar that knocked me on my ass before other than the edge maduro, but that was my very first cigar that I've ever had and this was years ago. The Camacho TM was just full of flavors imo, the LFD Cheroot was full bodied but did not do it for me. Hmmm gotta think about this one.

That's kinda how I feel about the CAO Italia. Loved the Brazilia, but the Italia just seemed strong for the sake of being strong.

Another one that knocks me on my a$$ every time I torch it is the Essencia. For whatever reason, this stick is my kryptonite.

BTW, All of those are great tasting cigars to me, and are staples in my barn.

Re: 5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man
 

I can send you some macanudos if essencias are too strong for you. :r

Joya de Nicotinas came out in 2002.

Trust me, THIS I know.

MedicCook had one of the gift boxes at our last herf. I seriously considered beaning him with my massive CA coin and swiping it. :r

I'm sure you mean the Antano as JdN's have been around since the late 60's.

Smarta$$!!!! :r :r

I don't know what it is about the Essencia...I normally smoke strong spicy sticks with no issues whatsoever. Camacho Triple Maduros, LFD Maduro Chisels...my flavor profile has been the stronger, the better. But that Essencia makes my eyes water and stomach flip every time I smoke it. Don't get me wrong, they are tasty as hell...but damn...

I don't know what the deal is with The V being on there, but its not that "manly" or strong, IMHO. I feel its more flavorful yes, but it doesn't seem to overly so. haven't had the figurado or the torpedo but I have them to try soon.

The San Cristobal is a strong cigar?

Re: 5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man
 

This also proves that everyone's palate is different. I've smoked all of them and never found any of them all that strong. The 601 blue I found to be the most mild of the 601 line.

JdN Antano is a great smoke! Very strong and tasty. I picked up a box on FS about 6 months ago and just broke into the box recently.

Re: 5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man
 

One of my fav's! :tu:tu

Re: 5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man
 

Man, woman, or whatever...

They left El Rico Habano off the list of strong smokes too.

Re: 5 Cigars That Will Prove You Are A Man
 

The T110 and JDN Antonio should really top that list... Also, I haven't had one yet but from what I've heard maybe the RyJ Cazedores? If we're talking about strong sticks that is
