Are your favorite cigars Your go to Cigar?

phobicsquirrel

I find myself asking this on a daily basis. I have my favorites, though only problem is they are either spendy, hard to get, or just too full bodied or strong for an everyday smoke. Right now I'm looking for a regular smoke and though I have a few small sized cigars great for it, a couple are rather hard to come by. I am looking at getting a few short story boxes, but other than that I still looking for a great cigar that takes 30-45 minutes that is cheap and would sell me. How about YOU!

I buy mostly samplers or do splits. Most of my cigars that our my favorites are pricey and I never have more then 5 it seems. At this point almost everything I have are single sticks. I have some I would like to make regulars but the are too expensive to buy boxes of them. I have tons of great sticks to try but finding something inexpensive that could be a everyday go to would be nice. Personally I would have to go the 5 Vegas route. Can't beat the quality for the price. Actually Cask Strength II is one of my favorites and you can get them cheap.

one of my fav's is Perdomo Habano in any wrapper. 45min or so and excellent flavor, especially for the price

Like jsnake, I am currently doing a lot of samplers. I personally prefer samplers and 5-packs because there are so many different kinds of smokes out there and it seems like it would be a waste to invest in a whole box. I also feel like that if the super-premiums become an everyday smokes, they lose some of their luster.

 

That being said, if I had to choose something I wouldn't mind having everyday, Fonseca Habana Seleccion or Nica Libre comes to mind.

yeah, I enjoy the casks too as well as the relic. Though they are longer than 45 minutes for me. I have been eying those don peppin firecrackers.

I have my favorites that are "special occasion cigars" like you, but in general my go-to cigars are some of my favorites, especially the Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet as mentioned before. Damn tasty and very affordable. I get in on daily deals and samplers all the time so my go-to cigars are always kinda changing and I usually never have more than 5 or 10 of anything at one time. At the prices these dailly deals are your favorites could be 3 or 4 bucks each, too!

I keep passing over those Carajos because I usually want something that will smoke for longer. I've only had the one, and it was a tasty little guy...good for a night like tonight where I want a cigar but don't want to sit out in the wind for an hour.

One of my favorite smokes that is also one of my go to cigars in the Don Pepin Cuban Classic. I can always count on it to be a great smoke with lots of flavor. I usually smoke the robusto which takes around 1hour and 20 minutes. A little longer than what you are looking for, but for me if it was any shorter I'd probably cry! lol

Iam a huge fan of the Cask II and its a top 3 for me ....... but lately with the weather at 20 i have no intentions of ripping a cask without getting frostbite ....... but the fuente curlyheads at 2.50 a pop and i can get through 80% if its cold enough .... they are 6.5 x 43 ...... maybe a lonsdale i think ..... not too sure but ya can get through pretty much the whole thing and at the price iam not horribly upset by not nubbing it ...................

Lately my go to cigar has been the Oliva O maduro. But I just ordered a box of ccom Red label robusto's. Needed a good quicker smoke for winter.

I prefer to keep mixing it up as much as possible. I am a bargain shopper and I am willing to try anything that has a good rep. I do not do mild bodied sticks at all. But I do have a few I will jump on each time they are available at bargain prices like the IT SF Maduro Belicoso. It is a perfect everyday cigar for me. That does not prohibit me from trying plenty of other stuff too.

I have 2 fav's, RP Vintage 90 and Gurkha Legend. If I smoke 4 times in a month, i'll smoke one of my fav's on 2 of those occasions so I know i'll get something i'll enjoy. The other 2 times i'll try something new.

I am with the sampler method. I have so many different kinds but I am looking forward to the vegas 5 classic. I hear they are really good and for the price it can't be beaten

My three favorites that I reach for often are: Fuente Hemingway Signature Cuesta Rey Centro Fino Sungrown #60 Padron Londres If I walk into the shop with no particular brand in mind, I'll search for those three in that order. Although, the other week I had a Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8 that was wonderful. I had forgotten how good that cigar was. The Padron Londres is an inexpensive smoke that is just great with a little age on them. The new La Traviata, EL Baton and Brickhouse cigars are "value" priced and may just fit your requirements. The Oliva Special G is also a great short smoke and under $4 in my area.
