I gave a couple of those out recently to friends (at least I think they're still my friends), and the hilarity that ensued was priceless.

Serious note though... 601 La Bomba Napalm was pretty strong

I bought those specifically because they were touted to be STRONG...

I was underwhelmed with their power, and I'm a huge 601 fan too.

Yea I hear ya...one that put me down a while back believe it or not was the La Gloria series N, think more of an empty stomach though??

More than likely the lack of chow in that case I'd say.

I'm drawn like a moth to a flame when I read a review of a stick that's supposed to slam you like Thor's hammer, though I always find myself wanting more power.


All those years of smoking non flitered camels in my youth may have doomed me I think.

Nasty.... Although I smoked Marlboro lights like they were going out of style for seven years, two packs a day at least! I think that tore my pallet up!

You're not kidding...once I started smoking cigars I realized how disgusting those damnable cancer sticks were that I smoked years before.

I just received a sampler of NHC Bone Crushers and Skull Breakers

Perhaps I will find that which I seek

Great smokes from what I hear but not over powering (also what I hear)

If you beat me to the punch let me know your thoughts about it.

I plan on a Lagavulin or Ardbeg pairing with mine

No problem brother

Try suck down an Opus A in one hour, sure that will put your head in the clouds

My buddies first Opus was an A that I gave him...he did have to put it down half way through

I laughed at him thoroughly till he picked it back up....I was smoking an A at the time myself

Surprised it hasn't been mentioned but the Ferel Pigs are pretty stout.
Also if your going to try a LaFlor Double Ligero, go with the Chisel size and just punch it on the top and the bottom. That should give you some kick if your not a regular to stronger cigars.

I found the FFP's to be on ther lighter side of full and I smoke LFD DL Chisels often, especially the maduro.

I am a regular to full bodied sticks...

I'm seeking out the cigar that will put in me firmly in my seat and question whether I should stand back up too quickly.

A Gurkha Empire VI made my head spin and palms sweaty once. That was early in my cigar smoking career. Always looking for that A@@ kicker....

Surprised I didn't see the Camacho Triple Maduro in this list.

The only cigar to ever make me sick was an Edge Maduro Toro I had early on in my time. When I say early on, I mean it was probably the 10th cigar I ever smoked. Nowadays, I'll spend a Saturday up at Empire, eat a decently full meal before I leave, smoke 5-6 cigars on average, and not eat anything til I get back home. That said, I'll drink a couple Cheerwines to help combat the vitamin N. This past Saturday I was up there from noon til about 9:30, made my way through 7 smokes, didn't feel a thing.
