Any cigar aficionados here? If so, what's your favorites? I have a small collection. Oliva V Melanio Maduro is my favorite. I like them with whiskey in the winter, and just whatever in the summer.

Nubs made by Oliva are a great smoke a go to for me. Pardon 1964 and Romeo an Juliette Reserva Real solid as well
Kristoff tastes great, but find one that will burn past teh label to a nub and you are lucky.
Padron 40th anni is always good for celebratory smoke
Go to? Joya De Nicaragua Antano 1970 is just a good cigar, really good.
Gurkha Shaggy Maduro, another just consistent good cigar.
La Flor Dominicana L and DL series are good, but Maduro Jocko is my favorite
601 Maduro and Oscuro is good to go
Diesel Uncut
Undercrown Maduro
Punch Rare Corojo
I mean seriously, there are only maybe 20 really really good cigars. The rest are mediocre crap or just a same blend/wrapper with a new label for a boutique line that is paying for it. You have the trifecta co-op down in Nica with Torano, CAO, and General Cigar formed an alliance that makes not just their brand lines, but like a few others, they relabel or slightly change a blend for someone else who is just paying for a few hundred boxes and selling for a premium price as small batch.

I like Padron 64s, and an ocassional Nub as well. I'm a big Oliva fan. Bought a Liga Privada 9 sampler while on vacation in Panama City Beach this year. They're pretty good too. I'm a robusto and toro guy most of the time. Someone gifted me a Cohiba a while back. Looked fake, so I cut it open. Nothing but short filler and floor sweepings
There's a pretty great cigar thread either in here or Maggie's. I'll try to dig up a link as soon as I get some time.
While I tend to smoke Maduro cigars I just got an Acid Blondie Belicoso and it is a great little smoke a little sweet, I like a La Gloria Habana Serie R and Padron 64s I have to say this Acid is a good smoke. I also like Camacho
I love Partagas Serie D No.4. Whenever I travel abroad I like to buy a few. In Hong Kong a friend of mine owns a shop there. If you pair it with a nice 12 or 18 yr whiskey it really brings out the flavor and adds a nice touch. Other than that I enjoy any other fine cigars. I have been spoiled since I use to live in Asia and had connections with various smoke shops. I was able to try all the big brands and "best" cigars from cuba. Out of all of them I love Partagas and come of the Cohibas. If you all get the chance try one!
I have not tried any of the acids. Never been much on the idea of infused sticks, but I might have to give it a shot. I like Drew Estate stuff too. I enjoy the MUWAT a lot. Tried the Herrera Esteli, but didn't do it for me.
I have noticed that there seem to be more bad cigars than good ones. But when you find what's good, it's great.
You may wanna track down texasgunlawyer on here, he's in night vision a good bit. Anyway, he can't post a picture of a rifle or day at the range with out including his favorite watch at the moment and whichever cigar is accompanying him! He'd be a good one for your thread here for sure and I'm sure knows some other members that'd be into this as well. Some just don't come to the pit that often. But hit him up, he'd for sure be into this.
My meager offering... running 2 humi's. The larger one is my stash and a smaller one that I started with, filled with cheaper sticks and some infused for the few friends of mine that aren't so I to it.
My favorites are Olive Serie V, Tatuaje, 601 blue Maduro, just about anything Fuente does in Maduro. The few first Cubans I had were harsh as hell. I've been holding onto a small handful for about 4 years now, hoping they'll mellow out a bit. All time favorite is still Padron 1926 Maduro. If I could only ever have one kind for the rest of my life, that would be it.
There is already a many-pages-long Cigar thread in the Bear Pit... that can be revived with a quick search. There is a LOT of good info there.

I have a handful of Kristoffs I would trade straight for a handful of Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Gran Consul's
Sorry for high jacking the threat. I don’t smoke. But the dog rocket was good.
The MUWAT's are a great line. Of those, I actually prefer the smaller ring gauge. Padron 1964 are pretty great too. I'm a fanboy I guess. Usually if I go to a brick and mortar, I'll take something with me and buy a few to put up. But if I don't think to bring anything, I usually opt for a padron x000. They're just a good, consistent smoke. Can't remember ever being let down by one and they're not hard on the ol wallet.
I like the Bait Fish size in the MUWAT line. I'm not much on anything over 54 gauge.
There's a cigar shop in Weston, MO called Weston Tobacco. They roll their own cigars there and they are my favorite cigars. So, when I am up in Kansas City I'll make the drive up to Weston and pick some up.
A good Monte Cristo No 2 is awesome. Its a quality cigar and most batches are usually good to go!
