Say you are brought before a firing squad to be executed. The officer in charge inquires if you have a final request and you ask for a cigar. The request is granted and you are shown several cigars to choose from. Your choices are:

El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga
Gurkha Robusto
Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend Gorilla
Padron #5000
Perdomo Cabinet Series Reserve #4
Puros Indios Toro Especial

Sorry, no Habanos-- there's an emargo in effect. Which of the above cigars would you choose?

If I can pick only one of those and no other, I'm going with the Perdomo Cabinet Series ... damn fine cigar and one that is among my favorites ...

My turn to do the survey: ... efm, what part of the great USA do you hail from? I figure you pretty much gotta either be a left-coaster or one hell of a night owl ... hell, for that matter, at this hour, you're a bit of an owl, even on this side of the continent ...

How do you know I'm in the U.S.?? I am though. Northwest corner, rain forest.

Since I've never tried either of the choices, I would go with whichever would take the longest to smoke, since I'm about to be shot and all.

And for Steve, I am on the East Coast, working nights.

Great stuff!!! I'd guess tar baby would be smokin' the Indian Tabac Cameroon Legend Gorilla then...LOL Just kiddin ya, tarheel4lyf

Myself I'm with SteveO I'm schomking the Perdomo.
Love them X's but if it's gotta be a #4 well then it's a #4.

Given the choices, I would smoke the Gurkha Robusto

I would smoke the Indios Puros, but ask for the 18" long "Chief". I can live an extra 2 hours, produce enough smoke to gag the firing squad, thus forcing them to let me go. I used to love the McGiver TV show.

No Habanos? OK, by saying that you imply that other choices can be made....I'm not a smartass just never tried any of the above.

My choice: Any Opus X or Partagas 150.

Perdomo Cabinet Series Reserve #4 ans as long as you're up, a coupla Becks.

Me personally, I'd take the Gurkha Robusto, but I'd reach in my back pocket when they weren't looking and switch it with my Padron Anniversary! What are they going to do if they catch me? Shoot me?! Ha! Besides, when I get to heaven, the big guy up there will be smoking the good stuff anyway.

Joel (Go Lakers!)

... my final request certainly wouldn't be a cigar. 😉

I would go with the El Rey del Mundo. By the time I got to the last inch, it would knock me out and I wouldn't remember being shot!

Steve, I agree with you. Perdomo Reserve #4 Maduro...my "goto" smoke.

i.am.steve ... good to hear about your go-to smoke and not about your go-to-the-doctor experience ... glad you're back in action ... we missed you, but did anyone at work notice your absence last week ??? ... LOL

I would go with the Padron 5000 but would have to say "What, no PAM's?"

Padron #5000 for me! Its not a big stogie so I guess I wouldnt live too much longer!

Mag

I would definitely go with the gorilla. It is a popular smoke in my rotation, and the last one I had lasted about an hour and a half. Plus, I don't like the Perdomo No 4, the Padrons that I have had have not been that good, and none of the rest even caught my eye.

Like them all but

Perdomo Cabinet Series Reserve #4
in either Rosado or Maduro would get my nod

with the El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Larga
a close second

And a Bucanero El Capitan Series would beat em both!

Mike Gardner

All the Padrons are good! A 5000 it is.

I'm with ducati. The 18" long Chief might put the firing squad to sleep and I could make one of them there eescapes!
