But do those tubes float?



1: Someone else had to find this funny

2: Of the two or three of the Red Tubo's I've smoked, it would be up there on my list

3: I'm going to have to go with either the Casa Fuente's or the OR LP9 Piggies.

Well, as a true elitist, I would offer:

SW Maduro
LP9
AF BTL (this one probably should be at the top of the list)
Camacho Liberty '05 (and this one 2nd)
Dirty Rat
...and several of the LFD's

La aurora 100 anos are now over the hill. Coronas still show promise.

El centurion was amazing until it lost all flavors last december.

Davidoff's super selections are surprisingly well made. The 100 millenium salamones are excellent. As are the colorados and R12 toros.

Tatuaje tenderloins are doing very well right now. West coast is still phenomenal.

Old AF Anejos get the nod as well.

Only seeing a few LFD's. For me, both the lonsdale and lancero of the LFD Cameroon Cabinet are at the top of the heap. And for a poor man's version that is dang near as good the Coronado in lancero and the Air Bender, again in the lancero/villano fall well under that $10.

^ yep, LFDs are good as well, not too many that I have not tried ......

Good list of smokes here - I would add the TAT TAA - goes for right @ $10 - very smooth smoke.

Ah yes, LG small batch 1 2 3 are phenomenal. Good call.

Rob, I lurk, just have been busy. Working longer hours now that the industry has downsized 40-60%. I'm practically doing 2 people's work. Didn't mean to disappear, just have no time. Hopefully Jan I will have some time to relax. Hope everyone's been doing well!

Not even close. My desert island cigar is the La Palina Pasha. Prices vary and in limited supply online. Prices run from $20-$30 per stick. If I had the dough, I'd buy a second one. Unbelievable!

Padron 64 anniv maduro Diplomatico with 10 yrs box time. Smoothest smoke I ever had, amaretto flavor is unmistakable and smoke output like a fireworks display.
Another cigar (not $10) that is unbelievably good with that much box time is the Punch Rare Corojo DC. Alas, they're all gone now except for a couple of the PAMs.

I think they are damn good. I turned the owner of my local B&M onto them, and he can't stop smoking them.
