Most powerful cigar you ever smoked?

GhostRyder · 10-28-2008, 03:14 PM

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

Smokin Gator · 10-28-2008, 04:27 PM

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 PSD4 I had in Adelaide in '96 or so had me draped over the sofa in the Hyatt gasping like a boated carp.

I love these "strongest 'gar" threads. I think a lot of the mentioned strong cigars are some of my favorites.
Macs make good yard gars.
Taboo SFO are pretty strong.

LFD Double Ligero Chisel comes to my mind first. I make sure to smoke those on a full stomach!

10-29-2008, 01:50 AM

Add another one for the Chisel - I was getting woozy a few inches in....

The one that has hit me the hardest was a 2004 Forbidden X . I was driving from Jacksonville,FL to Miami with a load of Motorcycles . I had to pull over in a rest area In FT Pierce to walk around and clear my head.

I've only ever gotten a nicotine buzz a few times from cigars, but it's cause I chew a can of snuff a day, I suppose. 35 year old habit, so I'm probably a bit insensitive to the nicotine. It's why I like strong, sweet, dark cigars, too. They're like home.

Last June I was taking my taxes to my tax guy. I was so proud that my taxes were only a couple months late that I decided to celebrate the drive with a big Anejo.
I was chewing on it hard and it was salty and made really dark spit. Add to that I was smoking it 100 miles an hour like I always do.
About three blocks from the tax office I went "Dood." I was totally crosseyed. It was awesome. I had to sit in the car for 15 minutes and chill before I could take my taxes in.
When I came back out I fired the Anejo back up, but never regained the power-buzz.
That was a good smoke that day.

10-29-2008, 03:57 PM

Back then, as I recall, it was a toss up between a Sancho Panza Extra Fuete or one of the El Rico Habanos.

TripleF · 10-30-2008, 03:42 PM

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm......

Camacho Triple Maduro. I nose exhaled and almost started crying.

croatan · 10-30-2008, 03:45 PM

'95 Juan Lopez #2. As anyone who was at the pre-SoCal S.H.I.T. herf this year can attest. Blew away any Taboadoa double ligero or NC I've ever tried. The thing was just crazy strong (which surprised the hell out of me, by the way).

The San Cristobals from Ashton always kick me hard.
Get a little woozy and light-headed.

10-28-2008, 04:25 PM

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.
