Used to smoke a ton of La Fontana. Way to mild for me anymore.

I used to mainly smoke Macanudo's and 5 Vegas. Now I've been mostly smoking Tatuajes, Illusiones, any Nicaraguan tobacco. Along with the occasional Opus.

As an update to this thread, I was able to smoke a Fuente 8-5-8 natural thanks to Andy who hooked me up at last weeks Barn Herf. :thumbup Turns out I really enjoyed the smoke. To be honest I had pretty low expectations but I did enjoy the flavors it put out, especially the turns it took from the 2nd half down. I'd highly recommend revisiting some of your old flings, you just might find there is still a spark.

Started out smoking a lot of Onyx Reserves and now I just don't get the enjoyment that I used to.

I used to smoke a lot of Anejos and Opus. I stocked up and kinda gave up on the chase after a while. I'll have one or so a year, but I've moved on to the dark side.

10 years ago or so I liked Macanudos. When first getting back into the hobsession (about 3 yrs) I tried tons of stuff and really liked Gurhka Doble Maduros and Coronado by La Flor. Don't care for Macanudos anymore and haven't had a Doble Maduro in years, but I still enjoy an occasional Coronado.

Cool thread.

Like some of the other folks, I smokes maduros almost exclusively at first.
Unlike some of those above, I've never tried a Macanudo, though I've surely smoked a lot worse.

I know that it can't be possible that in 3 pages of reply's I'm going to be the first to say ACID's exclusively. Roam's, Kuba's, Atom Maduro's, Blondie's, Wafe's, One's and 5's. I had no interest in traditional cigars for the first couple few months that I began smoking. I still have a 100 count humi with nothing but ACID in it...at least 60-70 sticks. The last time I smoked one, I had finished it fairly early, around 9:30PM or so. Since I was gonna be up for a while, I grabbed a VSG Enchantment out of the humi. After the Kuba Deluxe...I couldn't taste the VSG and was so pissed that I haven't smoked an ACID since.

You should buy a single or two or do I did and see if you can mooch from someone. I was actually surprised that I enjoyed it as much as I did, Especially the 2nd third on. I've come to the conclusion that there is a reason the 8-5-8 has been around as long as it has.

NC Partagas #10. Quality went way down on these, IMO.
