My favorites have been and will be determined by how a cigar tastes compared to what it cost. I am always trying new cigars and new favorites pop up every now and then. I like Padrons, I generally smoke one every day for breakfast ( a 3000). But I may be smoking a Torano next or an Edge. While I prefer stronger cigars I really prefer flavorful cigars. I just finished an Astral and thought it was a fairly flavorful smoke. It may be one of my new favorites.
