Looking for a powerful cigar

My friend has wanted to find a full bodied powerhouse for a while now but every full bodied cigar I recommend he smokes too slow for anything to build up. I gave him a Vegas cask II and he said he enjoyed it but then today he shot me a text saying that he spent the rest of the night hugging the toilet. SUCCESS!!! I have never been so glad to see someone vomit.

I had him try and puff on a 45-60 second regiment which seems to have made the difference.

    Get him a Man 'o War Ruination, that thing is alot stronger than the Cask Strength, IMO. It nearly put me down and I had it after supper. The JDN Antano is pretty powerful too, try the Belicoso.

    I gave him a antano and he felt nothing. I didn't belive him so I had one a week or so later and I sort of agreed. Thats what started my JDN quest.

    Do you think my idea of smoking speed has anything to do with percieved strength?

    the MoW runiation is a good idea.

    I think there is a definite relation. Take the Ruination for example, I always smoke them relatively slow and they are always strong, but the times I smoke a little quicker (read as the faster of the slow) I always feels it more in my gut, like a weight.

    I still need to try both the Cask Strength II and the MoW Ruination. From what I hear, sounds like I'm gonna enjoy both of these.

    I smoked an Oliva serie V double toro yesterday without anything substantial in my stomach and I was a little worried about the possibility of vomiting for a while there.

    Haha, nice.

    I guess the strongest cigar I've had is the Oliva Serie V. That one has turned me green a couple of times.

    man... i must be a full bodied junkie...

    the V is about the midpoint of where i like my cigars.



    try a LFD double ligero.

    I've yet to try the double ligero. I'm sure I would've tried some stronger sticks by now if I had the money to spend. The last couple of months or so I haven't been able to buy anything.

    Do the LFD DL El Jocko or 601 Green Trumbuco (sp?)
  • clearlysuspectclearlysuspect Posts: 2,124 ✭✭✭✭
    I'm still new but I'm yet to have any cigar turn me green, make me nauseaous, or the slightest bit uneasy. I too have had the Oliva V Double Robusto and I really enjoyed it. But I also really enjoy other very powerful intoxicants.... legal ones mind you!

    Try a Serie V maduro, this one literally turned my stomach.

    La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet is pretty strong as is the Limitado III.
  • TatuajeVITatuajeVI Posts: 2,378 ✭
    It's been a while since I've had one, but the Rocky Patel Edge Sumatra (the red label) is pretty powerful. Many of the others suggested should do the trick, too!
  • AyatoAyato Posts: 53
    The LFD Double Ligero or the Factory Press III are both excellent choices.
  • alienmisprintalienmisprint Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭
    The Oliva V is strong, but I can handle it on an empty stomach. The LFD Double Ligero (as many have mentioned) is another very powerful stick, give it a shot.

    I know that Camacho tends to make a very powerful product; the diploma is one of the few cigars that really spun me around. The 8/22 is fantastic as well, and I would also recommend the Select. All great, strong cigars.

    I got a few of them from Andy, but I smoked two of them and sent one to our buddy Vinny, out at sea. Sorry Kuzi, I would have gladly sent one to you. They are pretty powerful too.
    Check with Andy... maybe he can get more.

    A local shop has a few left, but I hate it when they mark up because it is rare. I think that they were MSRP + $2 a stick.

    I don't know if this was just me being a rookie but I had a CAO MX2 about a year ago and it just about knocked me over. I have been wanting to go back to it and try for revenge...
