For flavored Cigars, ACID cannot be beat! I am partial to their KUBA KUBA, and ExtraOrdinary Larry, but they have many that are worth a try. Many don't know that Drew Estates (the company that makes the ACID line) also produce some very nice regular non-flavored tobacco cigars. They are an interesting company as well. Guys who grew up in the US and decided to buy a tobacco farm in Nicaruaga and make a go in the cigar business.
Pretty much any ACID cigar, and Drew Estate Cigars are the best in my book. So good in fact I don't have a favorite, they are all amazing!! For natural cigars I like NUBS!
I have had a few, but I just had one the other night that is my favorite. It was the Carlos Torano Exodus 50 years cigar. Excellent flavor, pull, and smoke. I will be getting a few of these to have on hand.
What I find is the avid ciagr smoker in America cant possibly get his or her favorite cuban on a reg bases. Here are my favorites that can (in my opinion) hold up against some of the cuban beasts and also not empty your wallet. Oliva Series G Maduro Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 Rocky Patel Vintage Seconds (cheap and same as 1990's or 1992's) Victor Sinclair Vintage Selection Maduro CAO Black CAO MX2 Those are my fav's that can be bought cheaply online and to fill a humidor. If you start smoking the finer hand rolled cigars you will soon enjoy them more then infused cigars.
