Your BEST Maduro / Oscuro

01-10-2014, 06:26 PM

Ok...we've had the top 10 favorites, but let's think this one out hard. Offer up your absolute, número uno, can't live without, willing to trade your kids/ grandkids for, favorite stick. To make this something that most of us can have a chance at getting our mitts on some of these, try to keep a ceiling of $15 greenbacks on it. If it's that special, go ahead and let the sky be the limit.

If I have any of the sticks you want, I would take 1 kid, or 2 grandkids, for a 5'er.

One? If I have to nail down ONLY ONE...let's think which maduro has it all, makes me cocoa for Cocoa Puffs...

Don Pepin Garcia JJ Series Maduro Belicoso

It has everything I love in a stick, full bodied, spice, a touch of sweetness, and plenty of cocoa.

Mac and I are brothers separated at birth. This is also numero uno for me. Doesn't get any better.

I'm actually shocked it wasn't the 601 Blues. You've got cabinets dedicated to those bad boys.

For me, either HdM Epi2s(CC) or Tat Black Culebras(NC). Either I could smoke all day, every day for the rest of my life. I'm actually surprised with where I went with this when I thought about it. Normally my habits would err on the stronger side and I'm surprised I didn't go Padron either.

Aaaaaand, I apparently suffer from severly short term memory loss.

Since this was supposed to be a Maddie/Oscuro, I'd say LP No. 9 Belis.

Excellent stick Tim. Made by the folks that make my beloved 601 Blue...go figure.

Almost Bear...but the DPG gets the nod. The original release 601 Blues are an extremely close second.

Well-said, Tim. You are totally crazy.
Cubao Maduro is one of the alltime sleeper cigars -- so smooth and spicy, like smoking milk chocolate. Eddie Ortega Cigars still makes them.

Wish they had thicker ring gauges like in previous vitolas when made by Espinosa & Ortega. My fave now is the Belicoso #2 -- 6x52.
Have stockpiled a previous vitola the 4.75x50 rothchild, still available from Famous:

Only smoked the Secretos, but I loved the heck out of it! I'm sure the larger formats are even better.
