I refuse to commit 5 or 10 to the top. Depending on the day depends on my favorites. All the cigars listed above I would agree with minus one or two.

Nice list Tom. Let me guess the only 4 NC's you've ever smoked

Here's mine off the top of my head

NC
1. Viaje Exclusivo
2. Tatuaje T110
3. God of Fire Carlito
4. Viaje Satori
5. Viaje Skull & Bones

CC

I bet my CC lists will change very rapidly I got a few 05 898V's I want to smoke. Some 02 Black Princes and a few 08 Cohibas.

The '05 898s are smoking great, Bill!

I smoked a Tatuaje Face last year too, Bill, but it would only make my Top 5 most overrated cigar list.

Default Re: What is your?

Awesome I think I'll light one up in a few hours. I might have to rethink things out, it seems Partagas are my favorite CC's due to the extremely stupid cost of Cohibas. I think the CoRo might be a bit ahead of the PSD4 but not at ALMOST twice the cost.

I passed on the Face. Tatuaje is VERY hit/miss and I'm so over the 5 limiteds they release every week.

I love the CoRos with some age, but the only fresh ones I have really enjoyed have been the '08s. That being said, haven't had an '09 or a '10.

PSD4s have been smoking really well fresh for me the last 3 years. I would take an aged CoRo over a PSD4 is most cases, but will usually opt for the Partagas fresh.

Let us know how the 898 treats you.
