Most powerful cigar you ever smoked? - Page 7

Texan in Mexico · 03-19-2009, 12:12 PM

The most powerful cigar I have ever smoked has got to be cuadruple ligero Party Custom I had with Wallace over at LCDH GC. I did a review here - man that was a powerful stick!

Starts off mild to me but can sneak up on ya. Eat first! The strength should kick in about 1/4 into it and level off about 1/3 to 1/2 way in.

Flavor should increase until the finish.

Wow! So now I have original Originals! Torp and Lancero. I would have to say that they don't taste too strong and that may be part of why they sneak up on you.

Yeah, but you're a real man Paul.

The San Cristobals from Ashton always kick me hard.
Get a little woozy and light-headed.

IMHO if you want strength, try a LFD DL700. One of my staples, definitely satisfies!

Had a freshly hand rolled cigar at a Mexican resort a couple of years back that really kicked my butt. The roller asked if I liked strong cigars and of course I said yes. He smiled and rolled this beauty and handed it to me. I paid him, put it carefully in my pocket and went to dinner. Smoked it watching the sunset. The combination of a full day, many free drinks and the cigar made it quite difficult to maneuver back to the room.

The most powerful cigar that I smoked that is a production cigar, would be the El Cobre.

First one to ever make me a little sick to the stomach was a Camacho SLR shortly after I started getting into the hobby. After that it was a custom rolled stick made by Gilberto Oliva that found its way to me. That one didn't make me sick to the stomach, but I couldn't taste another cigar for a day or so and I got a headache.

Latest one to make me feel a little ill was a Litto Gomez Cheroot (Ice Pick). The person that give it to me neglected to mention that it was all ligero as I lit it up before lunch one day at the local shop.

Anymore it seems like I can handle many of the powerhouses without issue, just need to make sure I smoke them later in the day and I'm fine.

LFD Double Ligero Chisel. It has one hour dimensions and it took me 2 hours 20 minutes of sweating and relighting. Punishment was worth the crime. I felt like I should have been looking over my shoulder for blue lights.

A close second was the Camacho Limited Edition Natural 6"x48/54/48. It offered no reprieve throughout.

Some good ideas here for my next cigar quest. I can honestly say that I have never had any type of buzz from a cigar, but I would love to try one that has a chance of it.

bowhnter · 06-30-2009, 08:00 PM

Even though it is supposed to be closer to medium, and I love their fullest LX2, a CAO Criollo did it for me.

Custom Rolled & Blended Habanos Torres Cigar...

SmokinCozy · 06-30-2009, 11:52 PM

A friend and myself after only a few months in to this world had a fresh Opus Robusto. We were both sick to our stomachs and couldn't finish the sticks. We split the box and I could touch another for a year, and when I did, I thought it was just an ok cigar and not worth the hype. I tried another a year later and was one of the best cigars I have had. I was able to get a few aged, and now I will not smoke a young Opus. I just received some and was thinking of taking the jump on a fresh one again to see if I have grown up

WyGuy · 07-01-2009, 05:01 PM

The other night I had a moderately fresh Opus X Robusto and it kicked my ass, to date the most powerful I've smoked.
