Miller1985 Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I'm sure this topic has been covered many times in the past, but as a relative newb to Cuban cigars, I'm curious. My personal is Hoyo. I feel in love with them from the moment that I smoked my first Epi 2 two years ago. Everything else I've smoked from HDM has been right in my wheelhouse, flavor profile wise.
NSXCIGAR Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 With only one cigar in the lineup, I may have to go Diplomaticos on this one. 3

Those will see deep storage.

stogieluver Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I'll be very surprised if you get a consensus #1 based on previous threads on this subject. You're most likely going to see just about every marca available. 3

It is largely how I "buy blind".
ksblazer Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Lately I have had more Romeo Y Julieta's than any other marca. So they get my vote.

Eric E Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I am a huge ERDM fan, but since they cut so many sizes that I enjoy, I have found the Montecristos to fill in well. Not even close to the same profile, but the Monte is a great smoke. As far as one cigar -- I love the Partagas 898 with age. I won't buy another box of PSD4s. Just not my thing. 2

stogieluver Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 My advice, for what its worth, would be to focus as much, or more, on vitola's. Since you're new to CC's, and if you're used to smoking the common size non Cubans in the large ring gauges so common to the NC's, don't rule out the smaller ring gauge CC's. If you haven't already tried them, give the Por Larranaga Monte Carlos and Panatelas a try. ' 1

At least my definition of large. My favorite it 46-50 ring. I thank you for your advice. My tendency has been to buy boxes of anything I can afford, in the corona to robusto vitolas, on 24:24.
bigben Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 I really like the PLPC's that I'm smoking right now. They are a couple years old, though. Seems to be very slim pickens on these lately.
