Default What is your present favorite NC?

Guys, I am considering buys a few sticks with Christmas gift $$. But, I don't get out much. I do not get to sample a whole bunch of the new stuff as there isn't a cigar brick and mortar that is less than an hour+ away...OK, there is, but it is also part of a head shop. So, not the place to truly buy cigars.

My problem is that when I do get to the towns where there are brick & mortar shops, I am in town to visit someone in the hospital & I don't want to smell like a cigar shop (cigar smoke) going in to visit them. The other problem is that I am at that time I do not have a good idea of what I should try.

Let me explain my cigar tastes, and then, if you would, tell me some of your present favorite newer NCs (something new is less than 3 years out) that you think I might enjoy.

In my humidors, & what I really enjoy are.
Caldwell - Long Live the King & The King is Dead
La Palina - Illumination (lanceros) & El Diario
Southern Draw - Kudzu & Firethorn
Oliva V & Oliva V Melanio
Liga Undercrown - Sun Grown & Connies
Tabernacle & El Gueguense
AF DCs & Hemingways

So, what is something that I might enjoy?

Peace of the Lord be with you.

OK, so we agreed to a friendly trade...you all know how this goes.





Yeah, all sorts of "way out of proportion".

Thanks, Dave!

You know, that is an interesting list. I have had #1 & #6, they are not necessarily "new," are they? Or, am I confused? (there is that very serious possibility).

For number one, the 100 Anos was a new LE release and was better then the regular Bijou BUT, in my opinion, the Bijou has been tweaked by My Father and has vastly improved over the original release. Could be the tobacco crops were just spot on but I think the blend was tweaked?

For number 6, maybe it’s just that I hadn’t smoked the Verocu before 2022. I had smoked the Red and wasn’t impressed. Then I discovered the Verocu and wow, now that is a good cigar!!

It’s with mentioning there are two other cigars that I love but they are shop exclusives.

1. Atlantic Cigars BLTC Dreadnaught. These just came out, very good.

2. Fox Cigars Araposa Negra. I have had wonky burns on these but they are really good.

Not a "mooch" if you're my friend and want to try something I have plenty of. Time to search my PMs for addresses.

Current "newer" NCs I'm enjoying
The Rojas line, Street Tacos and Statement are two
HVC cigars
Crowned Heads(Mil Dias)
Aladino especially the Vintage(love this one)
Warped (1988)
Thankfully there's a ton of boutique brands to try out there now.

As mentioned above, the Rojas Unfinished Business is a great smoke. West Tampa Tobacco Co. Black or White are fairly new. I prefer the Black over the White.
