Peace of the Lord be with you.

So, if I have to limit it to three, I choose not to participate.

Although, I think there are many who are thinking like me. They just don't have the chutzpah to say it.

The Rev said what I didn't have the chutzpah to say. Actually, I had the chutzpah, I was just too lazy.

And since I now posted in here, I guess I ought to post up my highest rated cigars (according to my own very complicated, proprietary scale for rating cigars):

1. Padron X (m) ("X" = take your pick)
2. illusione ~mk
3. Tie: Romeo y Julieta Viejo and San Cristobal Francisco

I'm in complete agreement on the first two but have not had the La Aurora. Looks like it's time to try one!

KenyanSandBoa · 04-12-2011, 10:28 AM

This is a tough one...but here it goes:

1. Liga Privada No. 9 Belicoso
2. Viaje Skull & Bones
3. El Triunfador OR Lancero

shilala · 04-12-2011, 10:46 AM

LG Diez Small Batch #1
Padron 1926 Maduro #6
Padron 1964 Maduro Monarca

Like Todd, tomorrow those might not even be close to the top 3, but I think it's safe to say that something Padron, something LG Diez and something Fuente will be lingering there in the top 3 any specific day.

They were soaking wet and weren't remotely ready for consumption, and I dried them out the best I could before we did a phone conference, and I had to get one smoked.
Out of ten guys, every one gave good marks except me and one more guy. I qualified mine with "the cigar just wasn't ready", so I kinda got tossed out.
I think I still have the other one (or two). Maybe it's ready by now?

thebayratt · 04-12-2011, 10:58 AM

1. Viaje Satori Zen
2. Padron 26 Maduro
3. Illusione HL Maduro

...I just had to go by what I have been consuming massive quantities of right now.

I know my top three will always be ranked really high, but when I go on my "sweet & mild" kicks, Fuente 858s are pretty hard to top on my list...along with a Lot 23 and nice cup of coffee.

When I get a "sweet and mild" kick, I usually grab a cc. They're a good cup of coffee choice, too. Almost as good as an Oliva Blue Maduro.

N2 GOLD · 04-12-2011, 11:10 AM

Padron Anniversario Serie 1964

San Cristobal

Torano Tribute

Yeah, that's the path (or steep slope) I'm headed down now. I'm slowly increasing the CC population in my humi, and I have LOVED how they smoke with coffee...especially with a medium roast Kona Estate.

...I really need cheaper hobbies...
