    I agree with ggiese, Davidoff is the way to go. Any one of their small smokes will make you a happy camper. With that in mind, the Winston Churchill brand is made by Davidoff. Their Spitfire is an awesome small smoke.

    I wasn't a fan of Fuente's Cubanito.

    I also recommended Acid cigars.

    They seem to be a little too novelty to me. Well, at least the ones I have seen at my tobacconist. And one of the employees there said they were a bit of a roulette game on quality. Not that you never know if each still will smoke as good as the last, but on the quality of each line.

    Davidoff, Artuo Fuente, Avo, My Father all of those, you know its one of theirs, no matter which line you're trying.

    White Owls (especially the Grape and Peach), Backwoods Smokes, and A&C Grenadiers all smoke consistently.

    Not all cigar companies own their own fields, so they have to buy it from whomever they can. As a result, one year their cigars can be really good, another year just okay, and another it can suck. It's innoconsistent. The brands I listed all own their own fields, allowing them to have a consistent product.

    So, you're saying that every crop grown by these guys is "top-notch" and equal in quality?

    "Top-notch" is subjective, but I will say that these guys own their own fields (to my knowledge) and their product is supposed to be of consistent quality.
