    Default The favorite stick you always forget.

    Just what the title says guys. Everyone has asked the question "what are your top five cigars?" or at least asked what are your favorites. My question is, what is the cigar that you never seem to mention but you always look forward to smoking because it never lets you down.

    My answer has become anything Camacho. I love this brand of cigars, never smoked one I disliked, however when asked what my favorite is I have always seemed to overlook it. I am now making a conscious effort to stop doing that. So what are yours? What do you always seem to grab from the humidor when you can't really decide what to smoke, never lets you down but you never seem to mention?

    The Padron X000 line, especially the 6000. It seems they're often overlooked for the 26 and 64 when someone mentions Padron.

    For me it would be the Oliva O maduro, and really, just about anything Oliva. Only one I've had that I didn't like is the FdO gold, but I don't mention them as often as I used to.

    Same for the Gispert maduro corona.....this is a morning w/coffee staple for me, but I never mention it unless its a "bargain cigar" thread or something.

    For me its Padron anything. I ussually pick one up on my trip to the b&m and forget about it untill I smoke the other sticks I was more eager to try. I always pick them up to smoke with a "why not" attitude, and the never dissapoint.

    I hate to say it, but I really enjoy the Cohiba Black. It's one of the first sticks I smoked.
    I always have some in the humidor.

    I always forget about the Ashton VSG and then occassionaly smoke one and slap myself for forgetting

    Another worthy mention that I also neglect is the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte.

    One they don't sell much anymore was my go to brand. The "Diablo" picante size cigar. Nice looking, medium bodied, Sumatrasn wrapped smoke. Economical, good construction, and consistent. Never had a bad one yet. No plugged sticks, no crazy burns, no wrappers falling apart, etc.

    As for nicer smokes, I like the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 followed by the Vintage 92.

    As for expensive domestic smokes, I like the Montecristo White label and the Padron Anniversario. I've only smoked a couple of each.

    I had a simply awesome RYJ from you know where once, but that's a rare treat.

    When I can't decide, I know I can always depend on one of these.

    At about $2.64 it tops many that cost $5-10.

    You can bet I will have some boxes of these stored away as provisions for the aftermath of Tax Day.
