OK Players

In your humidor you can only have 5 Non Cuban brands, 3 staples and 2 rotators; what are they?

Staples
1. LFD since my 1st DL 17 years ago they have been in there
2. Padron
3. RomaCraft

Rotation (currently)
1. Crowned Heads
2. Southern Draw

This was harder than I thought. I mean where does Pepin fit in? What about Fab5?

Yeah, when I thought about the question while taking a last night, LDF came to mind instantly.
Then it got serious real fast, Crowned Heads as my new current obsession was easy for the rotation, but I am chasing so many right now.

 

[rbbrock]

It was tough, indeed, but the one that was easy for me was Fuente, they have enough just on their own to cover a whole gamut of things with Opus, Anejo, Sungrown, and Cameroon, though I'm not a fan of their Connecticuts, and they go from mid-price to high end. And like many I'm sure, they were my intro into premium cigars, and therefore kind of hold a special place.

Illusione and Foundation still have some variety, and I've simply never had a stick from either of them that I was unhappy with, though I do have some parts of their lineups to try.

LFD and JDN could easily be staples as well for their variety and most of them being solid choices, but they'll work in the rotating slots.

I though about Padron, but there just isn't as much variety from them to keep in a set slot in this exercise, for me at least. They'll fit into the rotation from time to time as well, along with so damn many others.

Honestly, I think it'd be easier for me to just keep Fuente as the staple and rotate four others around.
