Regulars : AF Chateau/dbl Chateau SG, LGC Serie R Maduro, AF 858 Maduro, Fittipaldi Maduro.

It's winter - time for small smokes : Bolivar Fuerte petit's, El Credito mini coronas, Sancho Panza dbl Maduro.

Also like : Onyx, Buc Z/full sail, DC Max, heck, I could go on all night 🙂

Tim, was interrupted on my list. In addition to CAO's I never met a Fuente I didn't like, especially the hemingway's, also try the Padromo reserves, especially like the Rodsado for something tasty but not as strong as the CAO LAX

My picks are:

Avo
Bucanero
CAO
Davidoff
Flor de Oliva

I like Indian Tabac and Montecristo.

I hate to limit it to five, but here goes (with the understanding that the five may very well change from day to day):

1. Perdomo
2. Torano
3. Avo
4. CAO
5. Gurkha (esp. the Centurian Double 😵

My preferences change all the time. Currently my regular (not necessarily top shelf) but the ones I reach for daily are:

Perdomo2 (and F.R.Wheels)
5 Vegas
CAO Maduro
AVO XO
Macanudo Robusto

I would love to toss out a whole line of premiums, but reality dictates my preferences to run towards my every day line-up. Hey...I can get most of these at $1 to $3 a stick.

Strange how everybody seems to crave the FFOX's, but they didn't seem to make any of the lists... Except Hog...

Here's mine, no particular order...

Trinidad
Ahston VSG
PAM
Torano 1959 Exodus
Camacho Corojo

Then again, I'm also quite fond of

Gurkha (most)
CAO (all)
Cohiba Red Dot (my morning smoke)
Joya de Nicarragua
La Flor Dominicana Chisel

As far as ISOM's go, my favorites are

Monte Cristo #2
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure #2
Trinidad Fundadores
Anything else Monte Cristo
Cohiba

Toraño Signature Series (all sizes)
Toraño Exodus Silver's (all sizes)
HDM Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
HDM Excalibur #1 (for those long football games)
Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente and the double Chateau
Punch Gran Cru Robusto

Not in ranked order

Besides a box of ISOMS this is what I'd like to open at Christmas.

5. PAM

Mark H

For all,who like me, can't afford the super-premiums

1.Indian Tabac
2.Flor de Oliva - Grand Maduro & Grand Cameroon
3.Maria Mancini
4.Mayorga
5.La Finca

Since the poll stated "brands", I'll go with:

Padron
Bolivar
Torano
Montecristo
CAO

Each of these "brands" has cigars in their line that are great. There are other brands that also have cigars in their line that are among my favorites, but I selected these five in particular because they have nothing but top-notch cigars in their line IMHO...
