Your fallback cigar

Sancho Fuente · 05-31-2011, 10:55 AM

I was curious as to what everyones fall back cigar is. The cigar that is always on for you, that you can always rely on to deliver. This would be the cigar that you would reach for if you are just looking for a good smoke. $1.00 a piece or $100 a piece it doesn't matter.

Personally, I am a fan of Perdomo Lot 23 maduros. Not alot of complexity, but good flavors, great for a morning smoke with a coffee and a good book to get lost in. I am also big on the Sancho Panza Double Maduro La Mancha. Really no complexity, but in the 5 years I have been smoking I have never had a bad one. At $1.50 a piece they can even fall into the mulcher if you brush it with a branch and you won't be too disappointed. (oops) And one that I am sure is on alot of peoples lists is the JdN Antano 1970, lanceros for me are the jackpot.

So what do you grab when you know you just want a good cigar?

Tat havana VI Nobles or Oliva O.

Montecristo Especial never fails to deliver for me. Excellent flavor profile and develops a real depth and complexity when properly aged.

Always a good go-to cigar

Arturo Fuente Hemmingway. Classic, best seller, short story - whichever. A delicious and consistent cigar...I use it as a benchmark

I have more than one -- just depends upon what is in my humi at the time: Cohiba Siglo II, any Padron, Montecristo Petite Edmundo, RASS, or AF Hemingway Short Story.

Retiredguy · 05-31-2011, 12:02 PM

Any Padron

BeerAdvocate · 05-31-2011, 12:03 PM

Brickhouse !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

taltos · 05-31-2011, 12:05 PM

Either a Perdomo2 Maduro or an Oliva G Maduro.

shilala · 05-31-2011, 12:10 PM

Padron 64 Monarca Maduro or 26 #6 maduro. If I'm smoking a bunch of different stuff and hit a bunch of duds and I'm in dire need of a "can't miss", either of those will work.
