Make sure to try the PAM64 in the Exclusivo size. Prolly my favorite cigar. It's like smoking a Snicker's bar

Indeed, the list could change with a new smoke! Like John, I rate my smokes A-F in a three ring binder. I doubt I could list a top 30. The best cigar I've had at this point is a Trinidad EL 2007. I need to try their Fundadores! And, since cigars are hand made, you might get a dud in your favorite smoke. I've noticed disappointment when smoking a fav- "This sure doesn't taste as good as I remember!"

Besides, who can afford to buy a box of each of their top 30? Better maybe to ask- "What cigar would you be willing to buy by the box?"

I feel what your saying! Some of my least favorites also turn up to be a really good smoke, due to aging or just a plain change of taste.

By the way, some people do have their top 30 or more in boxes.

The slope is a terrible thing...

B&Ms get pricey with these. Usually around $14-$15.

You're better off to go with Rob from Taboo and get a 5er:

http://www.taboocigars.com/product.s...productId=1091

make sure you use one of his CA coupons:

http://www.cigarasylum.com/vb/showthread.php?t=13891

Brings the cost down significantly.

I buy all my Padron through Rob, can't beat the prices

BengalMan · 04-15-2009, 09:03 PM

A top 30 just seems silly to me. I have thousands of cigars and I don't even think I could put together a Top 30. One would think that at some point in that top 30 (likely after about 10) things would just start running together and it would become somewhat pointless. I agree with many others have a said, a Top 30 would be changing almost daily, if not weekly for your average smoker that is constantly smoking and trying new things. Top 5's and/or 10's would be more logical as those would likely be more consistent. Just my
