La Gloria Cubana

Por Larranaga

Saint Luis Rey

San Cristobal De La Habana

Trinidad

I like the H. Uppman half corona and the San Cristobal De La Habana El Principe. Both of these have been consistent from box to box with good draw, burn, taste, etc.

Can't speak on any of the others.

Cuaba - Salomon - recommend with a bit of age

H. Upmann - I've had a couple coronas and they were just ok

La Gloria Cubana - Medaille no 4 - highly recommend panatela

Por Larranaga - again the panatelas were good

SLR - I have a cuban regional that I have yet to smoke

San Cristobal - El principe all the way. One of my top 10.

H Upmann - #2 and Mag 46

PLPC

Hoyo Epi #2

Trini Fundadores

SCdH La Punta

LGC any Medaille D'Or but most are discontinued

No Bolivar, Partagas or Juan Lopez outrage.

Big ++ on the Hoyo Epi #2, one of my all time favorites.

H.U. Mag 46 right up there as well. I like getting the Tubos.

I enjoy the Partagas Shorts. They are always consistent and great ROTT. Other Party's not so much

IF you get lucky and Get a Good Monticristo #2, you will be smoking one of the Best Cigars ever. HOWEVER, they are hit and miss, you are just as likely to get one that is Blah.

Bargain Basement??? Verueros are not in the same league as the above but a very good smoke and very affordable.

Size matters....but to answer OP about marcas only,.....I ALWAYS have on hand:

Punch

H Upmann

Ramon Allones

Of these:

Cuaba

Hoyo De Monterrey

La Gloria Cubana

Por Larranaga

Saint Luis Rey

San Cristobal De La Habana

Trinidad

I'd only put PL as a can't miss in nearly any size.

Cuaba, LGC, SLR are lines that I can pass on.

SCdLH and Trini are good in small formats, but haven't had larger ones that made me seek out a box.

HdM have been hit or miss for me

There are a few brands I've heard a lot about but don't have much experience with. If you were ordering any of these brands which cigar would you order or not order?

Cuaba -- Bigger sizes are great, never had a teeny one

H. Uppman -- Mostly good, but can be inconsistent like Monte

Hoyo De Monterrey -- Mild and boring except for the Hoyo Du line

La Gloria Cubana -- Never had one, I don't like the sizes

Por Larranaga -- Petit coronas are a really good little smoke

Saint Luis Rey -- Avoid.

San Cristobal De La Habana -- Good but need a long rest

Trinidad -- Never tried the tins, the rest are good but overpriced IMO

Cuaba - Distinguisho, the Divinos are too damn small

H. Uppman - Connie #1 is very good

Hoyo De Monterrey - I love the Petite Robustos, hate the prices they nominally go for. The no. 1 and no. 2 are good too, but these can all seem a bit mild if you are primarily a NC smoker.

La Gloria Cubana - I'm weirdly not a fan of the no 4, and since that is basically the extent of the marca, not much else to say.

Por Larranaga - the Montecarlo is good, and while many say they aren't real PL's, I really like the Picadores. The Pantellas are also a nice cheap and cheerful but get them soon as I understand they are being discontinued.

Saint Luis Rey - the DCs are great (if mild), but not currently being produced.

San Cristobal De La Habana - prinicpe are a must try

Trinidad - Fundys are phenomenal, and while others have raved about the Vigias, I've had a unacceptable level of badly constructed ones.

Why not buy cigars made in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica......instead of financing a tyrannical dictator?:

Just a thought. :-"
