Any Illusione 50 ring and under (over 50 are OK too - just not a go to!)
Any Tat
AF 858 - a good go to

Just about and Lancero or Churchill on poker night!

My favorites:

The one I'm smoking now
The one I smoked last
The one I'm gonna smoke next

Favorites change frequently. Because your tastes change over time, the cigar you absolutely loved last year may not even make your top ten this year.
The biggest problem/benefit of this hobby is that there is always a cigar you haven't tried. And that one might be the one.

Tough question. Answer changes frequently, but right now I'd say:

Montecristo Edmundo
HdM Epicure 1 or 2
Bolivar corona Gigante

I am not a Vet, I am a newbie. I have been on cigars since Labor Day. Before that I was mainly pipes, with Lanes 1Q my favorite blend. I searched this thread for recommendations and noticed Jamie Garcia was mentioned several times. It was also mentioned in the thread with the guy flipping burgers at the VFW. Well, I got my shipment today. I had 20 of the Jamie Garcias in it. I just finished one. I see why you like them. I would have to put it on my list too. I put 4 in short term storage and 15 in long term storage.

To the other newbies I would recommend the Delicious Dozen Sampler pack. Talk about getting several birds with one stone. You get 3 Rocky Patel Decade, 3 Ave Maria Knights Templar, 3 Cohiba Red Dot, and 3 La Herencia Cubana CORE. The one I smoke most often are the Ave Marie (both regular and the Immaculata). But my favorite has got to be that LHC CORE. I don't seem to have that refined of a palate to say I can taste all the nuisances that some use to describe what others are tasting in a cigar, but when I smoke a CORE, I can definitely taste it! Crazy as it sounds, the Cohiba goes to the bottom of the list and it is a great cigar too.

1. Undercrown corona
2. RB genesis
3. Ashton premium house selection in maduro wrapper, love the natural wrapper in the morning with a cup of coffee. Sungrown wrapper is good too.

I've smoked quite a few what I think are good cigars. These are the ones that I've smoked most recently or that were very memorable to me. The rb genesis is a very unique batch of flavors, unlike anything I had smoked so far. It was a sure standout when I burned one out of the ashtray combo. Might be why I have a box of robustos coming and I think I got a deal on them @ $43. Thank you cbid!!! Herfing

The undercrown was touted as being overhyped because it's a DE stick, it's not hype if it's true. Burned my first last night, these are on my list now.

The Ashton house selection are great for a $2.99. If your local has them grab a few and give them a try.

This is me right here (see above). I go on a kick where I am not interested in cc's and then 4 months later that will be all I will smoke.

All time favs?
