Fuente
DPG/MF
Tatuaje
LFD
Illusione
DE (Ligas)
Padilla
Alec Bradley
Montecristo
Padron

This does not include any ISOMs, and is not in any order.

TatuajeVI

Looking through this thread, since it is quite old, I'll bet a lot of guys would make a very different list! Kuzi, as I recall, has booted Gurkha from his humidor for the most part, so I can't see that in his top 10 any longer!

My top 10 in no particular order:

Fuente
Padron
LFD
Tatuaje
Camacho
A.J. Fernandez (like the Ruination and Diesel)
DPG
5 Vegas (gotta have a favorite bargain brand!)
CAO
And I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple...

And mine like this:

Padron
Padilla
Perdomo
Ashton
La Aurora
5 Vegas
DPG
Tatuaje
Oliva
La Flor Dominicana

That is in no specific order save for the top three, the three P's make some of my favorite cigars.

I figured an update was due as I don't quite agree with this list anymore. Once again, and in no particular order, here are my current top ten.

Padilla
Perdomo
Padron
La Flor Dominicana
Ashton
Don Pepin Garcia
Avo
A. Fernandez
Camacho
Joya de Nicaragua.

Honorable mention goes to E.P. Carillo for his Short Run brand, 601 for Cubao and the color line, and 5 Vegas for being a solid line of affordable cigars.

thehoff

Don Pepin (I'm including the San Cristobal as his)
Tatuaje
Arturo Fuente
Padron
5 Vegas
Alec Bradley
Gurkha
Perdomo
Padilla
RyJ

That's in order as far as I can tell.

Russ55

Graycliff
Joya de Nicaragua
A. Fernandez
N. Placensia
Avo
Fuente
Padron


In no particular order, and as far as brands that I like lots of sticks in their line. I probably haven't explored Avo enough to have listed them up there, but every one I've had so far has been a great smoke. I'm in the process of exploring a few others that may make it up there soon.
