New to the forums, relatively new to cigars, casual cigar enthusiast.
I smoke 1-6 sticks a month.
My favorites:
Padron 1926 40th Aniv. Torpedo in Natural
H Upmann Magnum 54
Just like, but would smoke again:
Pledge EP Carrillo Prequel
Padron Damaso No. 8
Ashton ESG Churchill
Hated:
Montecristo White
Macanudo Cafe Crystal
In my humidor I have these cigars (that I have yet to try):
Rocky Patel ALR 2nd Ed.
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Reserva
Oliva Serie V, Maduro & Natural
Diamond Crown Julius Caeser
Padron 1926 40th, Maduro
Sobremesa Brulee Double Corona
Encore by E.P. Carrillo El Primero
San Cristobal Quintessence Belicoso
I really like that nutty, smooth, creamy-sweet profile of the Padron; although the H. Upmann was a bit boring in diversity, it was really smooth and almost caramel like which made it memorable smoke.
I'm not too big on the liquorish notes of the Pledge, but the first third was great.
Dislike the bright grassy lemon notes of the Macanudo and MC Whites, one of the few cigars I couldn't finish.
I'd love to hear what your recommendations for someone like myself. I do like longer formats as I enjoy the cooler smoke & the option to continue puffing if a pairing, company, weather, and occasion all permit. Half the time, I don't indulge with the final third of a cigar unless its one of my favorites.
