Personal Cigar Rankings

Cam_91Cam_91 Posts: 1,757 ✭✭✭✭✭

As of now I am a cigar rookie, noob, newbie, etc.. I have been keeping a list, as any self respecting rookie should do, of cigars that go above and beyond for me. It’s a pretty simple process: if I’m smoking a cigar and I say aloud “Damn this a good cigar!” I will add that cigar to my list. The more times I say ‘Damn this is a good cigar’ the higher it goes on my list.

There have been lots of smokes that have made a positive impression on me, but the list I have is for the cream of the crop. Yes, this is all personal preference and everyone likes different stuff blah blah yes I know.

I am curious to know YOUR top cigars, the one(s) you LOVE. They don’t have to be ranked in order, you don’t even have to name more than one cigar. I just want to see what I may be missing out on.. and possibly judge if it’s absurd enough. Here is my current short-lived list:

    I purposely left that out of my list. Like Barry Bonds on steroids, it’s just not fair. You took advantage of my non-existent disclaimer

    Okay then, fair enough. Let me try some that are not so obvious:

    Tat Anarchy Kaos (buy boxes)
    Tat pumpkin series
    Black works color projects (all of them)
    Hyena
    CS03
    Surrogates (sooo good)
    Carolina reapers & purple fats & HHG
    Zombies
    Cfed stuff
    That reconquista from 2day was great
    Curivari cafe noir - totally boss
    DTT u-boat pre commission
    That blackbird sampler was really good
    Roma sabertooth (don't tell Nick)
    Everything foundation
    New world not Connecticut (AJ everything)
    Psyko 7 (natural > Maduro)
    Bellas artes Maduro
    Southern draw Jacobs ladder all sizes (lance is best)

    Is that enough to get you started?

    So when you say not so obvious you mean everything that’s in the “What are you smoking ______ “ threads?

    Hint: I only smoke shīt I like bro. I mean, I smoke about 100 a month (3 a day, give or take). How far back do you want me to go?

    If it were me I would keep my list of specific cigars...but I would compile a list of types of tobacco I prefer first. Boutique cigars come and go so much that you’ll drive yourself nuts trying to keep certain ones.
    I would figure out what combinations I like best (wrapper, binder, filler) and then it will be easier to decide what to try. A good measuring stick would be AJ’s blends. He doesn’t necessarily specialize in any certain one...but he does all of them pretty damn well. You can get his blends relatively cheap so trying different options won’t break the bank. Figure out those combinations you like best and then start looking into boutique makers that specialize in those combinations.

  • rsherman24rsherman24 Posts: 6,738 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree. Pay attention to what you are smoking (wrapper, factory, blender, etc). Then you can narrow down what you like and what you want to stay away from. It is very easy to chase every cigar that comes out or every cigar someone says they love. Narrow down what you like and find someone who has a similar palate (Not Frank)
