Top 5 NC's
 

Hey everyone. I want to get a top 5 list of everyone's top five favorite non cubans. You can give size if you want too. I don't really have one yet. I am starting to know what I like though which is everything but Conneticut. I like Habano/Corojo and Maduro's. I tend to like cigars that do not take over an hour and a half to smoke as well. I am starting to really pick up flavors. With this top five I can try some of the more popular ones.

Oliva Serie O Robusto

Re: Top 5 NC's
 

Oliva V's, lancero and no 4 are phenomenal.
Oliva Special G Maduro
Anejo
Padron 26 and 64 maduro. Priincipe and monarca in 64, #6 in '26.
Lots of cigars can fit the #5 spot, lots are out of production. I'm gonna go with just about any other Oliva. Fantastic cigars after about 8 months of rest. Depends where they come from, I suppose. The big cigar outfits keep them super wet and gross.

601 Blue Maduro
CAO MX2
Camacho triple maduro
Oliva G maduro
VS "55" Blue maduro

Re: Top 5 NC's
