Most powerful cigar you ever smoked?

Skywalker · 10-28-2008, 03:00 PM

For me it has been the Joyo de Nicaragua Antano and the Tat J21!!!

Every vitola of the JdN Antano has done me in! Even with sugar I get shaky and light headed. The last one I had was the lancero. I thought this doesn't look so scary and then it snuck up on me and punched me in the head!

Back in March, Tony (Beagleone) in Irving Texas gifted me a Tat J21 and then I smoked another a few months later and both times felt like I was drunk after I stood up.

I enjoy the taste of these two wonderful cigars... Yet I have since vowed not to smoke either again!

DC Maximususus, Opusususus, Ashton VSGs - no problem - but a Padilla Obsidian Beli will hammer me every time...

Probably the third or fourth cigar I ever smoked. I don't remember what it was exactly but it was in the Camacho lineup. I bought it based on the rating that my B&M had stuck to the box. I smoked it sitting down outside and tried to walk back to the dorms. I remember stumbling like a drunkard back to my room and sleeping until noon the next day.

Fast forward 2 years. Had a RP Edge Maduro a few weeks ago. It kicked my ass, but in a good way. I never felt sick, but definitely light-headed. I really enjoyed it. I guess I needed a good asskicking.

Probably a toss up between a young OpusX Robusto and a young Tatuaje Reserva J21. Both gave me a serious butt kicking.

My guess would be a Camacho Croyolor (black band)...

My most recent fall from the cliff came from a Tatuaje Cabaiguan...there was no net waiting for me at the bottom!!!

Something from Top Shelf Cigar - very tasty smoke but all I remember is halfway through it I was swallowing a bunch of sugar so I could make it all the way through

I got a couple of laughs out of this thread and a couple of ideas...

The only one I remember really kicking my butt was a RP Sungrown at a Gator game. Now I had been drinking... but I was sitting in one of those really low slung chairs... and when I stood up I nearly fell down!!!

A JdN Antano is the strongest I have smoked so far.

Just looked that up on the Camacho website. It was definitely the Coyolar. I remember this beauty now. I might have to revisit this stick to see if it has the same effect now that my n00bness has worn off a little bit. I have at least progressed to a FNG.

best buzz I ever got was an RP Factory Select Sungrown Petit Corona.

I was at Merlefest in North Wilkesboro listening to Sam Bush......and fell out of my chair....then over my chair.....then through my chair....the whole time with a HUGE grin on my face.....great little smoke.

I am guessing you forgot to set the brakes on the wheelchair

Tried one of these the other night at the B&M. Heard they won an award for "strongest cigar" or something. I could feel the nicotine hit about 2/3rds through, but it didn't take me out.

maybe i'll try an JDN next. I want to see if there's anything out there that can put me down.

Jams what about the LFD El Jocko or the DL 700. Powerhouses. I would be impressed if they didnt test your limits

The Antanos are pretty strong, but I only notice it on an empty stomach. Unless I haven't eaten I don't think I've ever gotten ill on nicotine.
