My favorites

[NicaraguanSmokeFan]

Well I was on a online cigar store the other day and I decided to list out my favorites to store in their online humidor. Here are the cigars that went in as my favorites:


CAO Brazilia
Onyx
Romeo & Julieta Reserve Maduro
La Aroma de Cuba
H.Upmann 2000
Punch Deluxe
Padron

When I was done listing them I noticed a theme: All of these have a significant amount of Nicaraguan tobacco in them. I thought this was funny because when I started out smoking cigars and deciding which one I liked and which ones I did not like, I didn't have the mindset of smoking just Nicaraguan Cigars.

I also prefer Maduro wrappers to natural wrapper. I don't know why but it is true. I have also found that cigars that are supposed to be mild or medium I have not taste for. Cigars that are listed as strong I tend to like the most. I have about choked on Macnudos and Romeo and Julieta Reserva Real, but I can suck down a CAO MX2 or a Cohiba XV and really enjoy it!
Am I just weird?

Great list. I'm a big fan of the Onyx myself. You should check out the Sancho Panza Double Maduro's if you havent already. They are great smokes and not to bad price wise.

Great list of favorites, I love the CAO........Italia and Brazillia

i really like nicaraguan tobacco also,padron is one of my regular "go to" smokes.
i generally don't like conn. shade wrapped cigars-to me they all have a bitter,bland taste.
about 10 yrs ago i started with macanudo maduros...loved them at the time,then i tried a macanudo with a conn. shade wrapper thinking it would be similar tasting
