OK,to answer al'Thor's question, some of my 'go to' gars are CAO Gold, RyJ, Puros Indios, and CAO Brazilia. Just won a 5 pk of CAO Black, letting them settle and I have a good feeling about them...

I'd be interested in hearing anyone else's 'go-to' smokes.

BTW, thanks for the warm welcome to the boards.

welcome aboard, dad! with four kids, you have time to have a go-to gar, even. THAT is impressive! 🙂

i've been smoking cigars for about 7-8 months, and i'm still too new at this to have a go-to gar per se. i'm still trying a lot of (very) different stuff.

that said, if i could afford 'em, my dream go-to 'gars would be AF anything or montecristo grande tubos, ashton classics, fonsecas.

the closest go-to 'gars i have are any of the toraño cigars, which are just excellent in every way -- and though i can't afford to buy them by the box right now, i can find them locally by the stick at a very decent price.

if i could FIND 'em, my go-to would be tabacalera cubana coronas or emilio reyes torps. those are two of the very first cigars i smoked and that i TRULY enjoyed as i "got it" for the first time -- what this whole "good tasting cigar thing" was all about. 🙂

what i'm LOOKING for in a reasonable go-to 'gar is a bundled cigar, double corona in size, with a mixture of smoothness, spiciness and an ec-sum wrapper. i'm very much enjoying several very good smokes as singles, but i hate to find one that's perfect and then not know what it is, where to get them or how much they go for. :/

ooops! meant to add that the toraño dominican selection (black label, red trim) and the puros indios have come closest to that reasonable dream go-to 'gar. 🙂

I've been lurking here for some years, haven't posted much so....hello.
My "go-to" cigars are:

any La Gloria naturals
Villazon #31
Cacique Miami
Super Premium Seconds
La Emmenencia Fancy Cubanita's (aged)
El Credito Apprentice Rolled

All of these (except the LGC's) fill the bill of having great flavor, range in strength, and low cost.

Ummmm.....I meant the La GLoria's didn't fit the low cost category...the rest applies.
