Strongest cigar on the market

Hello everyone Im new to the site, but not to good cigars and its nice to see others who support and talk about the hobby. Well i have built up quite a collection since I came back from Iraq a couple of months ago and now I love to collect. I just built a coolerdor and was woundering first how long can you keep your cigars in there? Is it a couple of months or is it like a regular humidor where they can stay in there indefinatley. Also I have some loose cigars but tore up all my cigar boxes what would you recomend puting the cigars into in the mean time while inside the cooler? Finnally I am looking for a recomendation. I love the edge cigars by rocky patel and gurkhas ancient warrior, but they are just not strong enough any more. what is the absolute strongest cigar on the market right now? Im looking for that smoke that absolutley kicks your ass throughout the entire smoke. thanks for your recomendations!

I'm not sure if they are the STRONGEST, but the Ashton VSGs and OpusX's have a reputation for being strong.

More importantly, thank you for your service in Iraq, and welcome home. :smiley20:

Joya de nicaragua antano.....some of the la flor dominicana stuff.....for starters...

Perdomo estate selection mad. and perdomo2 mad. are pretty strong.

A friend suggested a "chisel" (not sure of the manufacturer) but he said it was pretty strong.

Welcome home and thank you for your service.

Your coolidor should be fine for however long. If you haven't already, visit http://www.heartfeltindustries.com/beads_1.html and pick up some beads for your cooler.

Most cigar shops sell their empty boxes for a buck or two, if not give them away. Grab a nice wooden one to store singles in.

the chisel is by LfD......vsg's,opus x,and perdomo estate are all flavorful...but not anything close to the antano in power....

bluesman,framis,cmndrcigar are from the tonawanda's....

wow its a small world! Yeah I went to buffalo state and was commissioned into the military through canisius. I was a fireman for the town for about six years and now im stationed in olympia washington

tfire - welcome to the board and welcome home. I'd like to reiterate - thanks for your service overseas.

I thought the LFD dbl. lig. chisel was pretty strong. As said above, the JdN Antanos are way stout. I had a beli and 1/3 the way through it was like a novacaine ether cocktail in a sauna. Nearly ate my lunch. nice flavor throughout.

Welcome home and thank you for your service!

Bolivars can be strong, not sure if they're as strong as some of the others, but they compare with Fuente cigars in strength IMHO.

Joya de Nicaragua Antano. In particular the Consul. A nice short, fat powerhouse.

The La Flor Dominicana Ligero line is great. Strong and sweet.

You may also want to try Gloria Cubana Serie R cigars too. Good head-kickers!

Try Partagas BLACK as well.

Have fun and welcome home! :smiley20:

Welcome home. Thank you.

The Carlos Torano Virtuoso is probably one of the strongest cigars's I've had recently. It's coming out in November. Highly recommended.

LFD Natural, LG Diez, and OpusX are the strongest and tie. They will whip you

Hello;

First of all, Welcome to the Forum!

They are definitly not a premium smoke, but by far the most powerful smoke I have ever had is a Don Asa. I have had a lot of powerful cigars, but I think this is the only one ever to make me light headed. Try one, they are cheap and highly powerful.

Ditto on the Antano. I thought the La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero was super strong, then an Antona cured me of that misperception.

Opus are strong, but not to the point where you feel sick to your stomach or turn green...

I would agree with the others who mentioned the JdN Antano, LFD Chisel, LFD Double Ligero.

I watched my cousing turn green smoking a chisel and he tossed his cookies after walking out of the shop! LOL

Don't smoke those on an empty stomach! :smiley37:

Is it necessary to tease us low lifes with no hope of a Carlos Torano Virtuoso Maestro until some B&M decides in December they may make one available to us. I am quite excited about these. Exodus 1959 is my favorite.

BTW, What's the deal with the Double Ligero? Ligero means light in Spanish. There is nothing light about that cigar. I do like them however.

Fillers of various strengths are usually blended to produce unique cigar flavors. The more oils present in the tobacco leaf, the stronger (less dry) the filler. Types range from the light-flavored (dry) Seco, through the medium Volado, and on to the strong Ligero. Large-guage cigars have a greater capacity to contain filler, and thus have greater potential to provide a full body and/or complex flavor

Ah, so Ligero is the name of the variety of Tobacco in the cigar. Thank you.

Well, my B&M owner who is Cuban by birth and Venezuelan by upbringing, and completely fluent in Spanish and English, says that ligero means "quick".

the bottom leaves are foot leaf...usually thrown away or sold to chewing tobacco companies.....then they move up the plant....at the very top are the corona (crown) leaves...by far,the strongest...

I grew up speaking Italian and took 3yrs of HS spanish. I often get the two languages confused. Ligero does mean light in Italian. I'm sure your Cuban friend is correct. We share words that differ in meaning. It got me in a lot of trouble in school. I'm sure you can see the relationship between light and quick.

You could allways try a Magnum Force, I dont think JR is even able to give those things away. :smiley4:

Welcome and thank you for your good service! All the suggestions you've gotten are good IMO (minus TSC's attempt at humor). I would also suggest:


El Rico Habano Maduro
Gran Habano Corojo
Punch Gran Cru #2 Maduro
ERDM Flor De Llaneza Maduro

I would go with the LItto Gomez line if you want a strong cigar.

These will definately kick your ass.
