Thinking about grabbing some for everyday smokes and not sure which one to grab. I have only smoked the sun grown and white label. Any suggestions from you guys? Which one is best?

    I have 2 favorites. Red and Brazilian labels. If you're a fan of maduros those two are def worth trying.

    Brazilian and Cuban tied for my favorites. Both excellent.

    I haven't had enough of them to really pick a favorite yet. I liked the Brazilian robusto. The Blue robusto was ok, but much better with a year or so on it. I've only tried the Cuban once ROTT, and it needed some time to settle down, so I've got those resting. I found the Purple good, but too light for my tastes. The Sungrown was ok, but I'm resting the ones I have left to see what a year will do to them. I guess so far, my favorite would be the Brazilian robusto, but that's definitely not my final decision. I still need to try the Red and White.

    hard to believe you guys can get to thousands of posts on this board without trying these sticks. You will be very impressed. The ARE my everyday smokes. Cuban Label.

    Brazilian is excellent (just ordered a box of lanceros myself), and everyone here knows about my love affair with the Purple Labels (recommend these if you like milds or as a breakfast smoke).

    May I suggest you pick up one of their house blend samplers so you can decide for yourself instead of taking my SUPERB advice? :-)

    Definitely try them out! The Brazilian in the corona is my favorite. I tried a Sun Grown torp and thought it was really awful. Hopefully I just got a bum stick though because from what most people are saying it's a really nice cigar.

    I've had the sun grown and the brazilian label coronas. I'm actually going out to vegas in april with a large group and I was planning on bringing a box of the house labels out there to enjoy when golfing or just walking around the casinos. Which ones are the best ROTT since I won't have a lot of aging time available?

    I was already thinking about the blue label, red label, and cameroon because they are all medium bodied and I am not sure on what everyone likes.

    I've actually never tried any of the house blends either. I'm sort of a creature of habit and smoke alot of what I know I like and don't venture too far too often. Trying to break that habit and will probably try these sooner rather than later.

    There is a ton of good opinions here on favorite blends, but I wanted to know what everyones favorite size is for these? and why? Are some house blends best in one size and terrible in others, or is it all up to personal preference on what sizes we typically gravitate towards?

    Now I see why the question...damn that's a great price they're selling for! I might have to get a bigger tupperdor to fit in a couple of boxes.

    The corojo was my hands down favorite, but i've found im kind of unique in that most people feel the cuban is the best. Not many are with me on the corojo.

    Although all of these are hand rolled, much of the filler is not long leaf. Because of that, it is common for the longer cigars to end up with some soft spots. It is easier to judge the mass distribution of the tobacco with full sized leaves. I purchase the robustos for that reason.

    I just got the robusto samplier. Tried the purple label and it was very good for a mild. I would love it if it were in corona. Fixing to hit the next one, I will keep you up to date on the rest.

    Don't worry my friend, your not alone. I like those also.

    I finished the Sun grown label this morning. The most distinctive traits were the smoothness and hints of spice that grew more noticeable towards the end. IMHO, anything smaller than robusto will not do this cigar justice.

    Sungrown was the best out of all of them imo

    yea I wasn't a huge fan of the corojo, but then again that's not really my kind of stick either. Wasn't bad, just not for me.

    Cuban followed by the corojo with sun grown in the draft.
