Lots of stuff I've been wanting to try.

Can we do some sort of poll of the absolute must buys? Like the top 5-10 cigars to go for? This thread is great but gets you dizzy…analysis paralysis.

Picked these up. Luv the petite Churchill, so I thought I'd give these a try. Halfwheel gave it a 92 rating. We shall see...

Forgive the horrible picture, but got these recently, never bought a full box before, only ever 5-10'ers, so kinda stoked. Thankful for the Black Friday deal that made it happen LOL

I continue to test El Viejo Continente

I purchased a Tatuaje Advent cigar sampler nearly a month ago, but after unwrapping I kept in storage until December 1 in order to follow the traditional practice of opening one “door” each of the 24 days before Christmas. Each of the cigars is 4 1/2” x 46. I’m familiar with some but certainly not all of the Tatuaje line, but all that I’ve tasted so far are well made, excellent cigars.

I recently picked up a box of Goldie Laguito's and La Colmena along with my visit to El Titan de Bronze where they were rolled. Awesome place to visit and I look forward to smoking these in a few months.

Have you had the La Colmena's yet?

Yes. Tried 1 so far from this box. It was a B/B+ or 8.5/8.7I've had much better ones before. It was a bit light in flavor.

You also prefer natural over maduro.

I have more experience with the Maduro versions of the Padron 1926 and 1964 series, but in general it depends on the specific cigar. For example, as the 1926 series is fuller I prefer natural wrappers usually, but the 1964 series with maduro wrappers has provided me with some consistent and outstanding smoking experiences of late.

Fuente TAA event at a local B&M. Most things were limit one or two but I got some goodies none the less. I tried convincing them that no one was going to have time to smoke the Opus A’s, but I would graciously take the rest of them off their hands. They weren’t buying it.

@JohnS How would you describe the difference flavor wise between natural and maduro? I know you prefer the natural version but I’m curious to listen to you.
