Ya, I remember that phase... back when the fda final rule was looming and every manufacturer was rushing product names to the market with whatever cigars they could slap a band on...
Magic toast and Peter pan were the two I remember being ok... but if I'm not mistaken, I got more of both of those further down the line and they were no longer the same cigar...
Is what it is... nowadays I wouldn't smoke an Alec Bradley with my worst enemies butthole, let alone my own mouth... that was too harsh... ab's aren't that bad... |

I still have mine that Homer gave me when we were at a Tat / MF smoker 4 years ago. It is an event-only cigar so we should consider ourselves a bit lucky for his generosity. |

Nonetheless, my Top 5 is based upon what I want to grab to smoke when I go spur-of-the-moment humi-diving. but here goes: A.

Firstly, if you put your actual email address as your username on a forum, your inbox will get exactly what you deserve 😁 .
B. My very first win on cbid was for some gurkha's. I ended up sending them to Carson with ample warning about how awful they were. He smoked them, then shortly after got sick and quit smoking cigars. You've been warned.
Now, those Serie V are tasty.... |
| 83. Author: Mike3316 | Date: Sat, 3/12/2022, 11:16PM EST | |
While Gurkhas aren't on my Top 5 list .... or even my Top 10 - I can't say that I've ever had a bad experience with one (and I've had plenty over the years). The only thing about Gurkhas is that, for a brand with 57 varieties, there is very little variation in their flavors.
And I definitely agree about the Serie V. The Melanio Maduro is on my Top 5 list. |

If I had to pick one single cigar to smoke for the rest of my life based on price, performance, consistency and availability it would be...
Padron 2000 Maduro, hands down. |

If I had to pick one single cigar to smoke for the rest of my life based on price, performance, consistency and availability it would be the My Father Le Bijou 1922.
Or the Tatuaje Reserva Broadleaf.
Possibly the Padron 1926 Series 40th anniversary.
Or even the Diamond Crown Maximus.
Without a doubt… |

Padron 2000 Maduro, hands down. That’s a good choice. I’m down to my last two unopened boxes of those.......they got About 5 years on them now. Used to be able to snag those at the other place for a GREAT price before MAP pricing. I actually prefer the 3000 Maduro, but the 2000s were much easier to score for cheap. |
