Full Bodied Advice
 

Ok, I am in need of advice from you fellow inmates. I am looking for some recommendations for fuller bodied smokes. I have a some Man O' War's and some AB Maxx's coming, but what else do you guys recommend? I am still waiting for the new stock of Diesel's to come in to CI (anyone know when this will happen?). I am trying to get ready for the grilling and warm weather season. Thanks folks.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I would probably recommend some Joya de Nicaragua Antanos, La Flor Dominicana Double Ligeros, CAO LX2s and possibly a Cain Maduro or 2.

:tu

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I've read alot of the Cain reviews and they seem to be one of those love em or hate em cigars. But the straight ligero really entices me. And I really loed the CAO LX2's but I'm a CAO whore anyways.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

True, the Cains usually are love 'em or hate 'em. Personally, I find them to be pretty good.

Also if you can find the JdN Antano Dark Corojo I highly recommend it! :tu

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Thanks for the help.I need to make a list.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

good suggestions....since you are a CAO guy, you know that the Brazilia is a nice line of full bodied smokes. RP Edge is one of my favorite full bodied smokes.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Awe bro, you gotta have the money sticks by Oliva:
Oliva V
Oliva Masterblend


I smoke a LOT of cigars and over the past 2 years those were the only cigars to make me woozy. weeeeeeeeee

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Yeah I love the Brazilia. Very tasty sticks.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I have a few suggestions for you:

• Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic; they come in a variety of shapes and sizes
• La Gloria Cubana Serie R; the number 4 is a good trial size, but you can go for the 6 or 7 for a longer smoke. I prefer the maduro but the natural is good too
• Perdomo 2 Limited Edition; these are medium to full and very pleasant
• Cain; these are all Ligero tobacco and about as full-bodied as you can get
• Arturo Fuente Hemingway Work of Art Maduro; these are very nice pleasant smokes packed into a small perfecto

Just my :2

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I've smoked cigars for several years now and still haven't tried an Oliva. Guess that will have to change.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I can't believe I forgot the Olivas!!! :bh

The Masterblend is an amazing stick IMO (and the Oliva V isn't too shabby either ;) )!

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Yeah I saw the Oliva "V"'s got great ratings. Looks tasty too.:tu

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

It is a really nice stick, my favorite being the Lancero...

:ss

The DPG Cuban Classic mentioned above is an outstanding smoke but not quite as full-bodied as some of the others mentioned.

I still love them though and the 1977 Corona Especial (Petty Lancero) is probably my next box purchase.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I'll keep that in mind. The belicoso looks like it would do also. I like bigger ring gauges.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

dude....good call!!!!!

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

You know, the first time I tried a V I tried the beli and wasn't really impressed.

When I gave it another shot I grabbed the double robusto and it was very nice.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Keep em coming people. My list is growing.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Padron.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Oliva might make some of the best cigars across the board. Definitely need to get your hands on all of their lines. Cain are very tasty, not over powering :tu

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Padron's look great, but I can't justify spending that much when I could get 2 or three good smokes for the price of 1 Padron. But might have to splurge just once to see what all the hypes about.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Although I wouldn't consider them strong, the Padron x000 lines along with the Delicias and Londres are actually really affordable and quite good.

You should give them a shot! :tu

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Stick to the x000 series and you can't find a better value smoke in my mind. They can be had for about 4 bucks a stick by the box. Watch cbid for 5 packs at a decent price as well.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Off the top of my head in no particular order (not going to list the ones that have already been mentioned previously in the thread)
All are full bodied, not all are "full strength", some are more medium in strength (nicotine levels).


El Cobre
Camacho Triple Maduro
Camacho SLR Maduro
Camacho Coyolar (very strong and very full bodied)
Graycliff Double Espresso
San Cristobal by Ashton
JL Salazar
Liga Privada No. 9
Liga Privada T-52
Partagas Black
Exile Maduros
CAO America
CAO Brazilia
Fuente Anejo
Torano Virtuoso
Torano Exodus 1959 Maduro
5 Vegas Serie 'A' Anomaly
La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados, maduro, Flechas and Felecias vitolas
Macanudo Gold

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

The only thing I would add to the list of cigars mentioned above are the J.Fuego Delirium, I smoked two, then I ask for and recieved a box of them for Christmas. Love them :dr

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

My favorite - DPG Cuban Classic - Black Label
5 Vegas A series
Taboo Special Forces - these are strong

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

You guys are hitting all my favorite full bodied smokes right on the head! My favorite full bodied cigars are the RP Edge, Hoyo De Mont. Dark Sumatra, Perdomo Oscuro, Cain Straight Ligero, and La Gloria Cubana Serie R(this one almost knocked me on my ass with it's n factor :r).

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Cains and LFD Double Ligero anything. They are all good smokes, and nice and strong at that. I had a LFD Salomon courtesy of a local BTL and that thing left my head a bit light.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Camacho Corojo
Litto Gomez Diez

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

My favorites

DPG CC
LFD Double Ligero
Oliva V

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Very true -- not all Padron's are expensive but they are generally a very good cigar. And, while they are medium-to-full-bodied they do not overpower with nicotine.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

they've already been mentioned, but i'll throw my two cents in and also recommend the chisel, DPG CC and JdN Antanos.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I do not find the DPG CC to be that full but I love em.

Definitely the Oliva V, LFD DL Chisel, JdN Antano and I would add the 601 Green.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Don't mean to hijack but is there a large difference in flavor b/w the LFD Ligero and the Double Ligero? Or would there more of a difference in the nicotine factor?

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Not a hijack - it's a valid question related to the subject.

Yes and Yes.

The flavors of the two cigars are different. LFD-DL is predominately spicy, the LFD-L is more of a mix of spice and a rich espresso. The DL is a bit stronger (nicotine). The L is more complex and balanced.

It's worth your time to try both and make up your mind which you prefer. They are different enough to make the comparison worthwhile.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I find the El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga to be quite a full body smoke with hints of cedar, peper, nuts, chocolate and coffee. I personally love them. On top of that, you can pick up a 20 box for 70$......I can also recommend Hoyo de Monterrey and Gran Habano #3 (I though they would suck, but pure CREAM :)) GL to you Sir!

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

While I haven't smoked a wide number of cigars, I do know that I like fuller bodied sticks and the DPG CC 1979 and the Oliva Vs are ones I could smoke every day and be happy. I need to try more DPG BLue Labels :|

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Depends what you mean by full bodied. If you want REALLY full sticks, I'd suggest:

Man o War Ruination
Oliva Series V
Mi Barrio
601 Green
Tatuaje Unicos
Tatuaje Noella
Tatuaje Verocu
Tatuaje T110
LFD Air Bender
LFD Double Ligero
Cain F

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

It would definitely be something the lines of La Flor Dominicans. Very full bodied and flavor.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I think I need to get me a LFD to try, you gents seem to love em

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Thanks again for all the suggestions! Looks like my bank account's gonna get alot smaller soon.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I love this thread...this is exactly what I would like to know as well.

So far, I've LOVED the Oliva Vs and the Padrons. I'm going to have to start a list of my own and takle some names in here.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I'm not a big fan of the uber-full bodied smokes, but the full bodied smokes I've had that are tasty enough to justify the strength for me are:
Tatuaje (brown label)
DPG (Blue)
LGC Artesanos de Miami
601 Green

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

I agree with one of the above posts about Liga Privadas. The No. 9s are, to me, much more full-bodied and robust than the T52s, though they're both incredible lines and also incredibly smooth. I highly recommend them.

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

As much as I love the Liga Privada No. 9 (it's currently my favorite cigar) I cannot call it full-bodied...

Medium+ tops. :2

Re: Full Bodied Advice
 

Interesting. I'd put it at the lower end of the full spectrum myself––for me it was definitely a thick-flavored smoke (but again, very smooth and velvety).
