Top 3 NC Cigars
 

No cheating; only 3; in order of descending preference. I've participated in many pipe tobacco Star lists, and participants would list 5-10 blends when they were supposed to stick to a lesser list. I think limiting this list to 3 makes for a more crisp, decisive list.

1. Padron Serie 1926 Anniversary 80 Years Salomon
2. My Father #2 Belicoso
3. Liga Privada T52 Toro

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

Hmmm...let's see...

1. Viaje Holiday Blend
2. 601 Blue Maduro
3. CAO MX3

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

Assuming we are not counting any value based criteria, just if I could walk into a B&M and walk out with 3 different boxes today, no charge -

FFOX Robusto
Padron 1926 #2 M
DPG El Centurion Gurrero

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

My current three NCs favorites are:

Fuente Opus X Double Robusto
Padron 1964 Exclusivo (M)
Oliva Master Blend 3 Robusto

Of course there are so many right up there with those its hard to pick out just three;-)

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

Mind you, what follows is said not to offend or upset anybody, but I need to say it.

Top 3? Don't have any top 3! Don't have any top 1 either. Why? Because the cigars I smoke change depending on mood, food, company, and beverage. What might be my top 3 to smoke on one night might be different for the next night.

So, if I have to limit it to three, I choose not to participate.

Although, I think there are many who are thinking like me. They just don't have the chutzpah to say it.

Love you all!

By the way, I did smoke exactly 3 NCs yesterday, and since this list asks for 3, I will list the smokes that I had. They were:
Coronado Corona Gordo
Kristoff Sumatra Short Robusto
Paul Garmirian Bombone

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

Simmer down now, Todd. :r ;)

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

I had chutzpah once when I was a kid (I think they have a shot for it now). :noon

I look at these lists as what three boxes would I buy tomorrow if money wasn't an issue?

Someone call the cops. You stole my three favorite NC's.

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars

Just smoked an Illusione Epernay Le Petite to solidify the choice.

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars

Re: Top 3 NC Cigars
 

Depending on my company, I'd choose what I'd smoke. Not knowing exactly what I'd be drinking or eating... If I were to have a cigar with you my friend, I think I'd smoke a Litto Gomez Oriental - something with stout body and small size, just to keep me humble.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

The Rev said what I didn't have the chutzpah to say. Actually, I had the chutzpah, I was just too lazy. :noon

And since I now posted in here, I guess I ought to post up my highest rated cigars (according to my own very complicated, proprietary scale for rating cigars):

1. Padron X (m) ("X" = take your pick)
2. illusione ~mk
3. Tie: Romeo y Julieta Viejo and San Cristobal Francisco
