What's your SHTF cigar?

I don't have a sh*t cigar but I do try to have a really nice cigar after a crappy day. Problem is, lately work has been crap so it's hard to discern which day is worse. I've been trying to smoke a LFD mysterio oscuro but I keep getting home too late. Hopefully today but I have no idea.

I would honestly grab a La Herencia Cubana, Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet, or a Padilla Habano because after a day like that, I would want some normalcy back in my life and these are my three everday cigars.

Depends on the day. Padilla 1932, A. Fernandez sig. Maduro, Casa Magna Belicosa or Robusto, GOF, Padron 1926 Anniversary, Ashton VSG or ESG, LFD double ligero chisel, etc... Lucily I have lots to choose from, so no matter what the day went like, I have something for it.

It needs to be full flavored. Something like MoW, MoW Ruination, Cu-Avano Intenso, 5 Vegas AAA, Diesel, 5 Vegas CSII...something like that. Nothing mild or even medium (maybe med-full bodied)...but preferably full bodied and full flavored.

One of three cigars I keep on-hand at all times: Rocky Patel Decade Toro, Ashton VSG Torpedo, or an Alec Bradley Tempus (preferably Quadrum). Those cigars always hit the spot, and they are cigars that don't really need to be aged that much. You can buy any of these three at a B&M, smoke it immediately, and it will be a good cigar. I would include the Alec Bradley Pryme in there, but they no longer make it.

Considering my recent rediscovery of a love for connies, I'd probably reach for something like a RP 1999...unfortunately, I have none right now so that doesn't count. Sooo.. I'd probably go with a whatever caught my eye that day (and a few rum and cokes).

Tabacos Baez Favorito, gonna have to restock soon.

Has to be full-bodied as someone previously mentioned. For me, it'd be either a Diesel, Relic, or MOW Ruination. Those are my three go-to's.

Well it really depends on my mood and what I have one hand to drink, but one of my favorite go to cigars when I'm having a craptastic or fucktacular day is the Cabaiguan Corona Extra. Always has perfect flavor and is is a great cigar to relax with. I've never had any burn or draw issues with them so they don't require a lot of attention.

Interesting question. For me, something I know is not going to add to my frustrations by being badly constructed. Probably something familiar -- an "old friend." So, in my humi, that would be a Don Carlos, Ashton VSG, Monte White, or maybe an R&J Reserva Real.

One cigar I can always count on after a crappy or tiring day is the La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet #1 lonsdale. It is hands down my favorite cigar and every time I have one it just makes all the bad vibes go away.

Which reminds me: the Perdomo ESV '91 would also be on my list.

The El Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro Perfecto is my go to after a stressful day. I have burned a lot of them lately!

Yeppers, that's indeed a good one. More of an anytime, anywhere kind of smoke for me though.

I'd probably reach for one of my MoW Limited Edition Salomon's, one of my last Tarazona Classic Torpedo's, or perhaps something simple that I know I'm gonna enjoy and not have to pay much attention to like an Oliveros XL Bold Toro.

AF Hemi classic or signature. Its just a smooth smoke that I have been enjoying for years. Old reliable. Always lifts me back up and gets me back on my feet.

Usually when I have a day like that I feel like something punishing. It's either a MoW Ruination or an RP Edge Maduro. Days like that are what got me into full bodied smokes.

Yeah, well, like I said, I'd go for something familiar and reliable.

I definitely agree with you on familiar and reliable, I haven't come across many cigars more reliable than the ESV...actually, Perdomo is pretty solid across the board for reliability. When I want a hassle free cigar I'll reach for something Perdomo about 7 times out of 10.

I would go to "old reliable" too. Perdomo is top notch like that... I would grab a CAO gold maduro. After all of that, I just want to know what I'm going to get (and that I enjoy).

PuroFreak

The ESV and the 10th Aniv Maduro are really the only 2 Perdomo smokes I even care for. I've tried several but they seem to have a similar flavor profile I just am not too wild about... Not sure what it is though.
