Oh, Santa, I'm pretty easy... I like almost all "good" cigars. Never had one recommended to me that I didn't like. So if you like it, I probably will too. The few that I've had that were HORRIBLE were some of the ones I've tried but should've known better, you know the ones where you say "wow this one looks and smells great, and it's so cheap" so you buy it, only to find out that the reason for the low price is 90% of the filler seems to have been "marked" by a dog...
I tend to lean more towards the full end of the spectrum, preferring medium or better in flavor, and prefer smaller ring guages, but they all have their place. I've never purchased an infused or flavored stick for myself, and as a general rule, don't care much for them, but have been gifted a few that I really enjoyed. Those include: CAO Earth Nectar, Drew Estate Java, Drew Estate Java Mint, Drew Estate Isla Del Sol, and Drew Estate Natural. Other than those 5, to me, infused cigars taste like scented candles..
Lately, I've been on a kick for Nicaraguan puros, especially anything by Padron. Others I've enjoyed lately include Rocky Patel 1990 Vintage Maduro, My Father No. 4, Partagas "Party Short", Drew Estate Undercrown, etc., etc., just to give you an idea, but surprise me.... I promise not to bitch if I receive something I don't like.
Also, I am a sucker for sweets, nuts, chocolate, or any of those meats and cheeses designed for eating with crackers.
I promise to try and stay off the naughty list until Christmas, and I promise to leave tasty treats for you and the reindeer...
