What Is My Favorite Cigar?

[shilala]

Back in '08-09, I had a clear and decisive favorite.
Two, actually. Both were NC's.

That's kind of misleading, cause I think they stopped making one around '05, but I busted my ass to corner the market and bought every single one I could. PapaJohn liked the counterpart to the one I liked, it was his favorite.
He had to stop smoking because of his health and we don't see him anymore, he is very sorely missed.
One time Vin bought me a couple boxes of those delectable first faves, and that was the final nail. I smoked a zillion of them, and I absolutely loved them.
Then Cigars International bought the brand and turned them into doo.
That's good clues.

The cc side is tough, but I can tell you that the very best cc I have ever smoked, DaKlugs Dave shared with me at Shack.
An old PL Magnum.
I have been blessed to smoke literally everything, and that cigar was far and away the very best by a long margin.

But I only really smoke pedestrian cc's. At least to the tune of plain old off the shelf stuff. No RE's or LE's. So that really narrows that side.
