A Maria Mancini Magic Mountain maduro back in the day when J-R was run by Lew Rothman. Hallucinatory.

Grape White Owls. I didn't know you weren't supposed to snort them.

Despite the Altadis buyout, I think my buddy Lew would object to this. :r

JdN Dark Corojo. Only had a few regular Antanos, those are potent as well but the Dark Corojo was too much. I really enjoy the Celebration and haven't experienced any ill effects from them.

This. I literally had the spins when I stood up after finishing one of these.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

The one that made me feel queesy (and made one of my friends throw up) came from you! close to 6 years ago...

I have one I've had for a couple years, now I'm gonna havta smoke it and see if it's dead or not

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

To be honest I have been smoking cigars for over 10+ years and there have been many that got me sick, green, spinning, and sweating. A lot of them were early on in my smoking career before I knew there was a difference in cigar strength, also how to possibly counteract them. Cain F was one, MOWPA was another, Opus X. All in all they are great smokes that I have smoked again but I just knew my limits and learned how to deal with them. Happy smoking

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Recently I tried a Surrogates Bone Crusher. Sad to say but I had to pitch it about half way through as it was kicking my ass! Shame, the cigar tasted good, just so strong.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

In nine years of cigars, only two have made me queasy and only three others I can recall thinking, "Man, this is REALLY strong!"

I was literally punished by both a LFD DL 700, and a fresh JDN Antano Gran Consul; both on empty stomach.

The OR El Rico Habano and LFD Cheroot (Icepick), both mentioned above, and the OR El Cobre all made me sit back and say, "Whoa! I better be careful with this one".
Funny, now that I think about it, I got all three of those from the same shop - Empire in Raleigh. Must be something in the water down there

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

That's a shame

They have been by far my favorite cigar for the past year or so

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

It was a shame, I really enjoyed the flavors, but the nic hit me hard and I had to toss it. Maybe it was just the day or something else but I was reeling pretty good.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Any other brave souls here smoke an entire punisher? Definitely hurting after that one.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

I have one of those in my cooler-dor. Thanks for the warning :tu

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

FYI, do not smoke a cigar and then go out for a ride. Ask me how I know this!:r

I was working on my top end rebuild on my '06 Crf450 when I smoked the Bone Crusher. Maybe a few years in the humi will mellow this out though.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Sort of. Not as designed, though. After about 15 minutes of suffering through the Tabasco gimmick, I wet the entire head/shoulders and wiped it down with a napkin. Tolerable enough to finish, but won't have another. Once the pepper sauce was gone, it wasn't terribly strong.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

I actually had to look these up, as I've heard them mentioned in passing, but never really knew anything about them. From all the reviews I read, it seems these are just pure on pepper flavor. Now I'm a fan of hot sauce and spicy foods, and I do enjoy a strong cigar from time to time, but this, no, just no. :pu

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

I thought it was a figure of speech when I read the cigar's description. But those SOBs at cu-avana weren't kidding! That thing is literally coated with a substance that makes your lips burn.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Rob, FWIW, Cu-Avana isn't a company, it's just one of the many marques owned by Cigars International. The early/original mild Cu-Avana cigars were made by Manuel Quesada @ MATASA for CI, the Intensos were by Nestor Plasencia, but I have no idea who makes the Punisher for them.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Huh! You learn something new every day! Definitely didn't know that, thanks Adam :tu

LFD Digger Maduro & an M80 (I accidentally inhaled while relighting

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

OR El Rico's and JdN Antano's gave me the heeby-geeby's, but the one that really got me was the OR Camacho Corojo. If you could make it through the first inch, it turned into a really nice cigar.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

So far, and I still have very few under my belt, but it was a Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagne. Good cigar, but the nicotine snuck up on me. Although, it was a big stick, in ring gauge and length.

Bolivar Royal Corona... Was marathon watching Hell on Wheels while puffing away. When I finished I laid down for bed. I thought I was on a roller coaster and got absolutely 0 sleep.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Never been given 'baccy-belly by a stick. I've even asked for recommendations.

One fine day on Alex's pool deck, Ogre, Black Coral and snkbyt all sat around and watched and waited for a Cohiba red dot to kick my @ss.

Never happened.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Smoked a LFD El Jocko this afternoon while frying the turkey. Left my head spinning a bit afterwards. First time in a long while that's happened.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Have to change mine...as I smoked the strongest one I've ever smoked today. LFD N.A.S., re-release of the LFD Icepick. I smoked this after four strong sticks and after I ate dinner and it still was a POWERHOUSE!! A Ligero Puro...strong as crap, but very tasty!!

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

What does the N.A.S. stand for, Mac, in case I am too lazy to Google?

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Nasty Ass Sh*t!!! I didn't name it. :D

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Really? If so, that's awesome. :lr

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

Really Tom...that's what they named it.

Re: Strongest cigar you've ever smoked?
 

I like it, Mac. :r
