Pick your marca

[coug28]

We've all seen the "if you only had one smoke for the rest of your lives, what would it be" threads. I'm sure this one has been done to some extent as well, but playing with some variables here....lets assume that whatever marca you choose, all the smokes that we're ever available would be at your smoking disposal. Including any limited, regional and also now discontinued cigars. Changes things a little I'd guess.

So you can only choose ONE marca, but would have access to that entire portfolio to smoke as you so choose.

What's your pleasure?

Feel free to elaborate as much or as little as you'd like with your response.

Partagas. While I do enjoy a variety of different marcas, Partagas has all the vitolas I could ask for and enough variety of flavor profiles to keep it interesting. From aged Parti Lusi's to yard gars like the Mille Fleur, there is a cigar for every mood.

[shlomo]

Bolivar if it includes discontinued and limited stuff. Punch a close second if discontinued stuff.

If not, still Bolivar, but Monte a close second.

[dangolf18]

Cohiba or Bolivar (don't care for BBF, BRC, or BCG, but Boli regionals are the bomb).

[ramon_cojones]

come on mayne RA!!!

[aes8]

Partagas all day long, hands down.

No contest for me ... Cohiba

I'd have to go Hoyo or Partagas, despite the fact that my preferred stick lies elsewhere, but in terms of a comprehensive and enjoyable portfolio from PC to Churchill either of these two marcas would do. I have my fair share of Cohibas, but they have too many fodder flavors for my liking. Bolivar's got too many macho-bite-you-in-the-ass cigars (maybe I've been smoking them wrong? ) and Monte's are enjoyable but don't grab me the way they do others. R&J is too uneven across the menu imho, and H Upmann always tastes like it needs more years regardless of the stick's age. The other marcas I don't know well enough to criticize in such an off handed manner.

Great topic.

Ramon Allones, Bolivar, or Partagas.

[Larsy]

Im a big fan of Hoyo

[zmancbr]

Upmann. The newer upmann stock is killer and I can't stop smoking through my stash. A close second would be RA or partagas.

[MC4]

I have to go with Cohiba.

[DoubleDD]

Bolivar.

[LouisMazzini]

PL

[fingerburner]

Cohiba if I'm not paying, SLR if I am.

[Stanislaw]

Montecristo.... Even with the consistency issues.... Perfect all the time can be boring....

[hebbe72]

If the desision includes all the discontinued cigars; Partagas without a doubt.

Lonsdales, charlotes etc....

[Pedro2486]

Based on my somewhat limited experience of what I've smoked and really enjoyed I would say Cohiba. But based on my recent samples I need to go deeper with HdM

[subport]

Well it is not straight forward for me. Really could say 3 marcas but let's just pick up Partagas today then I have all the vitolas I mostly smoke.

It should have been a poll to see the results atthe end

[hdryder]

Its a toss up between Partagas & RA for me but I think I would lean more to Partagas due to the variety of vitolas available

[laficion]

S.L.R.

or

R.A.

sImply because they have the right taste . Mine !!!!!

[Omskakas]

H. Upmann

[polarbear]

Ramon Allones

Love the profile and there have been so many regionals I'd have plenty of vitolas to choose from

Couldn't have said it better.

RA all the way!

Bolivar. I already knew the answer, but as a test I looked thru the Humi w/ 10 different CC Marca represented. Proceeded to start eliminating Marca until I was down to my Bolis. This process confirmed my initial thoughts.
