Top 3 Smokes

So I just got my first shipment of cigars since Cigar.com stopped shipping to Canada (and you cannot imagine how much you miss good customer service, like the staff at ccom, when it's gone) And I picked up my first ever Padron (a 1964 Imperial Maduro), mainly because of how everyone on here talks about them.

I was wondering what everyone's top 3 cigars that you must try are. (I want to make a list and see what comes up)

I'm only a couple years into smoking cigars so my list is very limited but for the heck of it my list is:

1. H. Upmann- Petite Corona
2. La Aurora Preferido- Sapphire
3. Montecristo #3

    1) Davidoff Maduro
    2) Arturo Fuente OpusX
    3) Mow Armada
    4) Avo Domaine
    5) LFD Airbender

    Not including one off releases, my top 3 would be:

    1. Fuente Fuente Opus X Reserva D'Chateau
    2. Padron 1926 No. 6
    3. Trinidad Robusto T

    That's a hard list to narrow down to, also. I have a ton of cigars I LOVE, and even broader, whole brands that I love most of, if not everything they do.

    I have came back to this thread a few times to try to name my top 3 but like doc said, it's hard to narrow the list down to my top three. I too have a lot of cigars, as well as some brands, that I absolutely love. To complicate matters further, I think it is a lil tougher for me because I have never had any of the ultra premiums like Opus, Davidoff, Padron Anny's, or any ISOM's. Those "ultra" premiums seem to make it easier to name your top cigar(s).

    That being said, here's the list of my top three cigars...

    1. MOW Armada
    2. Gurkha Black Dragon
    3. Camacho Triple Maduro

    To me, a "Top 3 Smoke" is something that I could smoke everyday...something easily available. That being said, a big factor for me is price. The uber premium stuff is great and all, but I can't really afford to smoke them often enough for them to be a favorite...for me anyways. Granted, this is just one fella's opinion an' all.

    Top 3:
    1. San Lotano Habano
    2. MoW Ruination
    3. Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo

    Couldn't even list 'em if I wanted to. There's about 10-15 cigars that manage to stay at the top, but they cycle around depending on the time of year, my mood, what's going on at the time, etc. My three favorite brands are:

    Avo
    LFD
    Davidoff

    Maybe I should combine Avo and Davidoff and put Fuente in there at spot #3.

    Gurkha Centurian, Cuba Libre and Ave Maria Lionheart. As I smoke different cigars I may change this list, but for now these are definitely my favorites.
