What is your favourite cuban cigar?

[tippexx]

Greetings UKF,

This is my first post at this forum and I'm pleased to announce that I agree with both Robusto and Cohibo VI - my two favorite CCs are the Siglo VI and the CoRo, respectively. That is, of course, unless I have access to the Cohiba Sublime EL 04, which is my ultimate go-to cigar when the moment warrants the best.

I can't believe I've unearthed TJ's debut Post .... I thought he was Jurassic!

Anyway, the thread's Cuban favourite list is currently:-

Cohiba Siglo II x 1
Cohiba Siglo IV x 2
Cohiba Siglo VI x 1
Cohiba Robustos x 1
Cohiba Esplendidos x 1
Cohiba Sublime EL 04 x 1 (TJ Corro)
Cuaba Distinguidos x 1
H.Upmann Mag. 50 LE 05 x 1 (Ryan)
Montecristo No2 x 1
Ramon Allones Specially Selected x 1


So I was thinking maybe we could use this idea (in the same way we voted to get rid of a Cuban Brand) this to discover the overall Forum favourite PRODUCTION Cuban cigar. I've omitted RE's and EL's because the premiums put them a little outside the pocket range of some of us and it levels the playing field a bit.

To which I have deleted Ryan and TJ's LE's listings, (Ryan and TJ can now vote again) and added mine. So the list now looks:-


Cohiba Siglo II x 1
Cohiba Siglo IV x 2
Cohiba Siglo VI x 1
Cohiba Robustos x 1
Cohiba Esplendidos x 1
Cuaba Distinguidos x 1
Montecristo No2 x 1
Ramon Allones Specially Selected x 1
Trinidad Reyes x 1


Simply copy and paste the list and add a new cigar as I've done or add 1 to the total of a cigar already in the list.

The result should be interesting. And if enough people pick-up on the thread maybe a kind Mod re-head it.

Punch, Petit Punch for me. I can't get enough of this cigar.

Oh for God's sake... will you people stop going on about how much things cost!!!
I say, leave the Cohiba LE Sublimes and be damned!

OK ..... PENDING ..... a Unanimous MOD decision. Is that fair enough?

MODs your help is required please.

[Soulmanure]

I couldn't pick one just yet,
but I'd give nods to the Monte 2, Cohiba Robusto, and the Partagas SD4.

Ah, the days when he posted sense and/or about cigars. It was a terrible day when he had 'that' accident with an enchilada. He's never been the same since.

As for the thread. I'm not biting. I don't have a favourite - it's all dependent upon the mood. Sentimentally it would possibly be the ERdM PC - but I wouldn't call it my favourite (as in go to/best).

[satch]

a RASS - superb!

+1 so far. I am quite prepared to have my mind changed!

Mind changing isn't allowed. Well, at least not untill the end of November!

I agree (as so often) with Simon JG, it's an impossible choice. I have tried 200 + different Cuban vitolas & rarely smoke more than 4 0r 5 of the same stix a yr (the beniefit of having a large aging collection). But for the sake of the game (certianly better than deleting a cigar) I'll go for the Esplendosis. I'll chose this one coz it's my non El/RE special smoke for Birthday & celibrations & what I chose to smoke on the day I caught my first twenty pound pike. It's always a special moment to cut & light an Espi' pour a suitable malt (always whiskey for me with Cohibas) & kick back & savour every dammn expensive puff. One a more normal playing field I would go for the Monte No2, very consistant these days & always feels like an occasion when holding & smoking one. For an lunch time/mid afternoon smoke Hoyo Epi No2.

This thread looks awfully familiar...
I'm still going to have to go with the Boli RC.

Nothing to do with cost Cat. More to do with access. We've loads of US and newbee BOTL who either can't get or haven't yet progressed into LE's.

I just wanted something everyone could join in on. Nothing wrong in starting Cat's Favourite LEs thead though!

Spooky! That's exactly what I said somewhere else!

Anyhow, quite right too.
Carry on, carry on.

Oh yes, umm. . put me down for errrrr. . . (are BHK's included?) if not. . . (just to be contrary) a Bolivar Coronas Gigantes.
