Your BEST Maduro / Oscuro

[MrClean]

Short Story Maddies for me. I've exercised an unbelievable amount of self restraint to keep my hands out of the box.

Man! Well done, brothers! Look back at all these scrumptious dark sticks! Better than a fine ribeye steak dinner!

I was gonna say any Viaje S&B or SS, but Padron maddies do rock.

Easiest "what's your favorite?" ever.
DPG JJ Maduros and LG Oscuro Orientals.
If a cigar-eating meteor hit today, and all that was left were those cigars, I'd be okay with it.

Joya de Nic Dark Corojo martillo. It's like smoking a candy bar.

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.

Can you still get these anywhere, I wouldn't mind trying these.

Bob, Altantic Cigars still has these (but they are on back order).

Found some here.

What comes to mind for me are the Fuente Sharks. Ive had one so far and it was deliscious. Unique flavors Ive never had from a cigar before.

[Whipper Snapper]

Kristoff Maduro. Nummies.

Coming in close second(s).
Padron 1964 maduro pyramide.
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Churchill Especiale Pigtail Cabinet Oscuro (say that three times fast)

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:

[Weelok]

Ortega Serie D Maduro but I have not tried the DPG JJ Maduro which I have to track down now.

[Stevez]

601 Blues for me.

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

Or this?If it's that special, go ahead and let the sky be the limit. Or this?

Do not know which you are talking about.

First, would never trade my kids/grandkids for any cigar. I'd give up smoking before that would happen.

Absolute favorite cigar, isn't a maduro.

One (maduro) everybody could get their hands on? El Rey del Mundo Robusto.

One where sky is the limit? Padron 80th Anniversary Maduro.

And even at that, I think there are days I'd prefer the ERdM Robusto over the Padron.
