There maybe a thread for thi but I'm at work bored and browsing from my phone so here it is lol. What is your g to gar? And why that brand blend and size?
Mine is the 5 vegas miami box pressed m-5. I chose this because of the price point consistent flavor profile and the size is great not to hard to hold withe mouth or hand the box press makes it burn longer and cooler with few if any burn problems ever experienced. The flavor profile just nails everything I'm looking for in a "ideal smoke" sweet but not sugary/syrupy. Some pepper but not spicy. Earthy enough undertones to mellow it out. And they age well.
So again what's yours what size and why?

For years and years my go to was the CAO MX-2 or the Sol Cubano Sumatra. The SC Sumatra is no longer available and the MX-2 is no longer what it once was, thanks GC. I don't know that I really have a go to anymore. The MoW PA is almost always in my humi and I reach for it often, but thats really about the time factor. Don't get me wrong I love the PA but if I had an unlimited amount of time I wouldn't grab it. When I'm at the B&M I grab something different damn near every time.0

Same here, I am still too new to have a "go to" because I am constantly trying new stuff. Maybe someday...0

Yeah this is hard..right now, with what I have (no b@m available), and can't decide what to smoke...I try to always keep a Kristoff on hand. Since AJ started taking my money, I know the Little Devils or a MOW PA will be by my side...you can't go wrong with any of these...0

Tons....Padron natural, RP90 churchill, Black Market, Ruination, MOWPA, MOWPAM, MOWLD, Havana Nobles, MF #1, San Cristobal, MUWAT.... I am sure I can think of more, but if i grab any of those i will be happy. These are what I "go to" when something else is horrid or makes me put it out.0

Good choices the only 1 I can tolerate from that list is the black market lol. The rest just were too much for me like the mow or just didn't hit the mark like the rp90. Never had a san cristobal what's it like?catfishbluezz:Tons....Padron natural, RP90 churchill, Black Market, Ruination, MOWPA, MOWPAM, MOWLD, Havana Nobles, MF #1, San Cristobal, MUWAT....

Well...it is a smooth maduro in my opinion. It's got some heat to it, but I find it to be consistent and complex with notes of black cherry. I love them personally, but then I like all of those. How long have you been smoking?aeon_spiral@yahoo.com:

Been smoking about 2.5 years far as cigars go. Found very few cigars with those notes of cherry in them. Would love to try this one. Hell I don't believe I've ever even seen 1catfishbluezz:

The toro size is what I like, definately on the top 10 maduro list for me. I am surprised you did not like the MUWAT if you like the Black Market. You do not see them discounted much honestly, but they have them here.aeon_spiral@yahoo.com:

Something from Al Fernandez it seems more and more if I smoke something that not I'm disappointed could be in my head but I'm never disappointed with his cigars.0

If you ever see them and think of me and wanna pick one up ill gladly trade or send you the cash for itcatfishbluezz:

My go-to stick would have to be the JdN Celebracion. I always have at least 1 full box aging for a backup.0

I don't have an any-time go to....
But the 5V Cask Strength II would be my "go-to" cigar after a steak dinner with a glass of red wine.

mmccartneydc, have you tried both vitolas of this? I love the box-pressed too much and feel like I'd be cheating if I tried the "Firkin"/gordo...and I just can't bring myself to do it.mmccartneydc:

Like I said, I've only smoked the box pressed (toro) but if you pair the cigar, wine, and steak together, you're in for a great evening - perfect combo IMHO.

I don't have a specific "go-to" stick, but I usually keep some AJ Fresh-rolled on hand and I always go for a Tatuaje when I have one around.0

Just introduced my buddy to the dc and he was tripping on it not being a Maduro. I love them...and need more simply because the ones I have I wanted to age. They come up on sprint for about $30 for 10 too....BigT06:Undercrown (toro)
