    1. MOW
    2. Gurkha
    3. Rocky Patel
    4. Perdomo
    5. Romeo Y Julieta (am I the only one to mention this?)
    6. NUB Habano
    7. 5 Vegas (just the Relic)
    9. Montecristo
    10. ?????

    Really can't think of a tenth. I pretty much stick to the same brands. I do want to try the following, which will probably change this list:
    AJ Fernandez (one sitting in the humi)
    Oliva
    Sol Cubano
    Camacho

    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...

    j0z3r:
    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.

    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
    Russ55 Posts: 2,762 ✭✭✭
    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.

    5. Padron

    Well I'll probably need to revise mine a bit too...
