Powerhouse Sticks

Islayphile · 02-23-2012, 05:41 PM

Please allow me to preface with the following...I know that I'm not quite right in the head.

That said...

I'm always in the hunt for that one cigar that is just too much for my senses to handle and makes me have to put it down to take a break.

The problem is, I have yet to find it.

Tell me what cigars you've smoked that have downright kicked you in the rear, made you sweat profusely or have made you see the face of God.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing your tales of loathing, sorrow and
woe.

Lung a Macanudo. It'll kick your ass.

chippewastud79 · 02-23-2012, 06:13 PM

LFD Double Ligero
JDN Antano

Those are the only two I have actually felt ill from. Particularly the Antano.

One of these made me stare at the ceiling and contemplate the remainder of my life for the better part of an hour after smoking it just the other day.

I smoked a Partagas Black Label, then a CAO MX2, then a La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero and at the end of the day I got a little tickle.

Love me some ligero smokes!

I agree, both two very strong cigars. Generally, anything from Nicaragua is powerhouse.

These and the Cain F lancero.

That particular LFD along with some Grand Marnier actually had me paying tithes to the porcelain god once

Maybe yours, but I do it all the time; I smoke cigarettes too, so I have tough lungs.

for now.........

Chainsaw13 · 02-23-2012, 06:26 PM

I'll second the JdN Antano, but in the smaller ring guages. The Consul/Gran Consul's Ive had weren't that bad.

The OR Camacho Corojo would set you on your a$$. If you could get through the first inch you'd be ok.

Bill86 · 02-23-2012, 06:27 PM

Lets see. The God of Fires are pretty strong. A My father Lancero in 90+ degree heat was pretty intense. Tatuaje Pork Tenderloins are strong but not too overwhelming.

I did

one of time from nubbing a Cohiba Behike 54. The whole cigar was fine, the nub was potent though. Never had that happen before. Smoked another and while I didn't lose it I still felt the nub was definitely quite a bit more intense.

emopunker2004 · 02-23-2012, 06:28 PM

I second the MOW puro. Smoke 2 and check back

Islayphile · 02-23-2012, 07:06 PM

I appreciate the responses

Antanos?....I smoke those in the morning with my coffee on an empty stomach.

LFD DL's
LGD Chisel
Cain F's

I've had them all and none have given me a wallop.

I'm Islayphile, and I'm a full bodied cigaraholic

Adriftpanda · 02-23-2012, 06:42 PM

I don't smoke strong cigars anymore but I did have a Opus X a few months back and that thing put me down. I had to pitch it half way through.

kelmac07 · 02-23-2012, 06:57 PM

Any Essencia...only stick to make me cry.

TJtorpedo · 02-23-2012, 07:08 PM

The old Litto Gomez Diez. Smoked an Oriental on the back deck in the middle of summer. Got a bad case of the spins, and I couldn't pick up another cigar for a week...
