Stuck in a Rut
 

You know how we inmates are. We find a cigar we like or maybe a couple of cigars and that's what we smoke most of the time. Our "go to" as we say.
But sometimes we get stuck in a rut and need a change. I branched out and tried a 5 Vegas Limitada 2008 today. It was a good smoke, not a great smoke but I will try it again. I also tried the Punch Champion, which I enjoyed and will keep in my rotation. Any other inmates have a recommendation on a must try cigar? (I don't mean a super premium smoke now, we all know X's and Anejo's are great and Pepin's too. Just something we've all seen but maybe never tried.)

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Alec Bradley Tempus Corona is good.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Like those champions myself Halle.:tu

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

HDM Dark Sumatras. A good bang for the buck stick IMO

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Illusione. Any of them.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Good one..
Try the Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet from CI

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

:tpd:

I recently tried Royal Jamaica's - nice medium stick and reasonably priced..

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

RP Sungrown,I find these to be a very good smoke for the money.:tu

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

My rotation of "go to's" are:
Torano Exodus Silver-Toro
Rocky Patel Sungrown-Toro
Gispert -Toro
Punch Rare Corojo-Toro
Don Tomas Maduro-Robusto

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Camacho Corojo
Camacho Triple Maduro
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero

Padron Anni

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I really like the Sancho Panza double maduro's..

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Glad you liked the Champion :tu I'm a sucker for a perfecto :ss

The other punch that is a standby for me is the London club maduro. I like the RP vintage '90 and the sun grown is very nice as well. I've also been enjoying the Oliva Serie G quite a bit, particularly the maduros.

Happy hunting!

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

You didn't give a price parameter, so I'll throw out
a few ideas in the $3-6 range in no particular order:

Punch Gran Puro
Saint Luis Rey
El Rey del Mundo
Partagas Classic or Spanish Rosado
Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 or 1992
Perdomo ESV 1991
Padron 2000
Carlos Torano Exodus (Gold) 1959
TTT Trinidad

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

There's been some good smokes mentioned but one I haven't seen too many folks talk about, that I enjoy, is Onyx reserve.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

They're so many...try:
1. Padron 3000
2. Oliva Serie G, O or V (any Oliva really)
3. Torano 1959, Virtuoso
4. CAO Brazilia
5. Sancho Panza Double Maduro
6. 601 Red

That should get you started.
I've got so many I like and so many I've not tried yet...I don't have time for "ruts". :ss

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I hear ya,,,just recently started back with the CAO Brazilia, Amazon, Go, Italia and enjoy them quite a bit.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I really like the PIOs.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I have to vote Oliva V's or Punch Rare Corojo.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

La Aroma De Cuba is a good one to have around. :)

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

That Punch Champion is pretty tasty.

Value smokes I feel confident referring ($3-$6):
RyJ Habana Reserve robusto
Torano Exodus 1959 (gold, perfecto)
CAO Brazilia Gol!

The previously mentioned HdM Dark Sumatras have been good. I picked up a gift box of 8 sticks for $20 at JR a while back -- good value.

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Since you said cigar and not NC, i'd say
scdlh el principe, partagas shorts, trinidad reyes, erdm lunch club and rascc all great smokes, and well priced :D

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

chisel!

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Here's my vote:

- Montecristo Media Noche (Edmundo)
- Excallibar 1066
- Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon
- 5 Vegas Series A

:tu

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I may be a day late and a dollar short, but I've really been enjoying these NC's lately:

Pedomo^2 limited edition (natural)
601 Red
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
San Cristobal
and
Cubao

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

1. La Aroma de Cuba
2. Jericho by Camacho
3. any Oliva really the 'V'
4. Padron Thousand series Nat. or Mad.
All me inexpensive go to's when I don't wanna be let down :tu

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

I would like to add:

Mayorga Gordito
Nic 3000 Robusto
Taboo SFBC Robusto
Punch Gran Puro Santa Rita

I sure do wish that Rocky would make his Sun Grown in a robusto 5x52 or 54...:ss

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Try the Fuente 858 Maduro . Very nice smoke not to pricey

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

If you are looking for a WOW different cigar then definately try an Ashton VSG or a Casa Magna...I get super bored too. I just had my first Pepin Garcia and it did nothing for me. :(

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Esencia PC Is a must try cigar not a budget stick but damn good!

601 Red are also great

Re: Stuck in a Rut
 

Anything form La Aroma De Cuba.
