Its been a while since we've done one of these, so i figured we should do a favorite 5 cigar listing. Peoples tastes evolve and i'm wondering where everyones standing is lately. Categories are mild, mild/med, med, med/full, full. I'll start.


Mild: Ashton Classic
Mild-Med: Rocky Vintage 92
Med: Ghurka Legend
Med-Full: 5 Vegas A
Full: Oliva V

    I'm new to cigars so I haven't really paid attention to the various strengths.  I believe all the cigars I've bought are between medium and medium-full.  I just thought I'd chime in and tell you my favorite smokes so far; hope you don't mind.

     

    RP Vintage 90

    RP Fusion

    Padilla Miami

    Gurkha Black Dragon Maduro (the smoothest thing I've smoked yet)

    Perdomo 2 Limited edition 2008 Maduro
