Re: Your top 30???
 

People, smoke what you like and experiment and do that rather than creating some list that will change with the next cigar that you smoke. A list of the top 5 would make sense but a top 30?:r:r:r

Re: Your top 30???
 

:tpd:

Re: Your top 30???
 

Heck no, I want everyone to post their top 30 each week! Heck, why not go for the top 100. After all, 100 is a nice round number.

me thinks that someone has only smoked 30 different cigars.

Re: Your top 30???
 

I couldn't narrow my top 40. So I will wait for the top 40 list.

Re: Your top 30???
 

:rolleyes: :r I could only get mine down to the top 92 so where is my list? :confused:

Re: Your top 30???
 

Actually I rate all the cigars I smoke, A, 1, 2, 3, 4. The A's I will buy at a good price or when they run out. The 1's I'll grab whenever they are on sale. The 2 - 4 I pretty much stay away from purchasing unless I try one and my taste changes.

I like using lists since my old brain fails from time to time...:D

It is all a part of the hobby. As been said before, do what makes you happy. :)

Re: Your top 30???
 

These days I probably don't even smoke 30 different cigars regularly.

When I was a noob sure, I tried everything. guess I'm a creature of habit but I always buy the same sh*t now.

I'm not against the idea of a top 30, I probably pass over a lot of good smokes because I assume most of them are not worth trying. I trust the opinions of the members of this board though.

I've gotten a lot of stuff in trades that made me think :rolleyes: but turned out to be fantastic smokes.

Perdomo slow aged? hell yeah!

Tampa Sweethearts? bring 'em on!

La Aroma de Cuba? F*ckin' delicious!

...I could go on and on

Re: Your top 30???
 

1-30 (nothing NC) :r ;)











somebody had to do it. :)

Re: Your top 30???
 

Bobby just wanted to up the ante against Cigar Aficionado by listing his top 30 :r

Re: Your top 30???
 

^^^ lol.

I know my list is extensive, but... i felt compelled to tell you

http://www.dailyprobe.com/arcs/071304/anchor1.jpg

Re: Your top 30???
 

Make sure to try the PAM64 in the Exclusivo size. Prolly my favorite cigar. It's like smoking a Snicker's bar :tu

Re: Your top 30???
 

really? wow, how much do these run on average at a B&M?

Re: Your top 30???
 

You said it man.


;)

Re: Your top 30???
 

Indeed, the list could change with a new smoke! Like John, I rate my smokes A-F in a three ring binder. I doubt I could list a top 30. The best cigar I've had at this point is a Trinidad EL 2007. I need to try their Fundadores! And, since cigars are hand made, you might get a dud in your favorite smoke. I've noticed disappointment when smoking a fav- "This sure doesn't taste as good as I remember!"

Besides, who can afford to buy a box of each of their top 30? Better maybe to ask- "What cigar would you be willing to buy by the box?"

Re: Your top 30???
 

I feel what your saying! Some of my least favorites also turn up to be a really good smoke, due to aging or just a plain change of taste.

By the way, some people do have their top 30 or more in boxes. ;)

The slope is a terrible thing...

Re: Your top 30???
 

B&Ms get pricey with these. Usually around $14-$15.

You're better off to go with Rob from Taboo and get a 5er:

make sure you use one of his CA coupons:

Brings the cost down significantly.

I buy all my Padron through Rob, can't beat the prices :tu

Re: Your top 30???
 

Very good point Hugh!

Re: Your top 30???
 

very good way to get a great deal, kudos to you (and Rob)

Re: Your top 30???
 

1-40 - -All NC.
:r
Someone else had to do it!

Re: Your top 30???
 

The breadth of your list suggests that you need to do more sampling.
Fuente
Camacho
Litto Gomez/La Flor Dominicana
Pepin
Padron
Joya de Nicaragua
Oliva
La Aurora

Re: Your top 30???
 

smoked several fuentes, all decent smokes.

LFD DL Chisel whooped my ass, no thanks

smoked alot of different olivas, very good smokes overall

only smoked one Pepin, i give them away now when i recieve them (silence takes over the audience, and gasps are heard)

Re: Your top 30???
 

A top 30 just seems silly to me. I have thousands of cigars and I don't even think I could put together a Top 30. One would think that at some point in that top 30 (likely after about 10) things would just start running together and it would become somewhat pointless. I agree with many others have a said, a Top 30 would be changing almost daily, if not weekly for your average smoker that is constantly smoking and trying new things. Top 5's and/or 10's would be more logical as those would likely be more consistent. Just my :2
