Choice of one brand

[cj121]

I think Stevie did a poll with a similar bent a while back, but it would be Partagas for me.

[Big J]

Partagas...No doubt!

[MaledettoToscano]

I too would opt for the HDM range.There is something there for every eventuality.

HdM gets my vote too, at least as far as being a complete range from the tiny Hoyo du Maire to the manly double coronas.

..but maybe I'm just too wimpy for Partagas

[celsis]

C0hiba or HdM. Something for everyone....I do like San Cristobal as well. And Robainha and and and and.......

[Seriesteve]

Partagas every time A fine range to choose from

[monkey66]

Trinidad and Partagas

I haven't tried that many, being a newbie but I really like HdM's petit robusto. As time and experience goes on we'll all have to revisit this thread.

For me, I'd probably jump on the Partagas band-wagon (I love my ERdM cigars, but there's not quite enough variation). I couldn't in all honesty go with HdM, as so many have - I've had two, and been quite disappointed by both.

Anyway, Partagas. (Though the Trinidad idea is not a half bad shout).

I'm pretty new, so can only go by what I've smoked and preferred the most. So it would have to be Cuaba.

[saggel]

I'd say hoyo de monterrey or partagas

[Lascaux]

yup partagas

followed closely by hoyo

I'm a massive Cuaba fan (my fav smoke is the Distinguidos), although for all round brands its still gotta be Partagas.

decisions, decisions, decisions...what torture.
I would have to say Partagas, then H. Upmann.

[Robusto]

Partagas.

Closely followed by by Bolivar.

I'd have to say Cohiba - but that's partly due to limited experience on my part.
Having had my eyes opened by this forum, I'm hoping to branch out in 2010 and try some of your recommendations.
