TypicalSituation Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I have only recently moved into the wonderful world of buying CC's so my list is a little longer... Paul G for sure! Amazing stuff! NHC reserva lonsdale Tat PCR Padron natural and maduro in 2000 or londres size (excellent budget smoke) EPC Cardinal Natural. Again excellent budget smoke. Tat TAA '11 and '12 Any opus x with more than 7 years. My god! El Triunfador in the original brown label. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The lancero El Triunfador brown label. Best NC smoke I've had in the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Far away from any kinda rotation but time to time out from the rest of my nc's. Flor De las Antillas (liked it younger a lot more) My Father Le Bijou 1922 Oliva V,G 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm not sure if I'd continue to smoke all of these or not: Agree with the original Costa Rican rolled Bahias - Trinidad and Gold An offshoot ( kind of ) of those - the early Doug Puringer produced Bucaneros La Unica Cameroon Series Original production Vega Talanga Corojo Series - an all Honduran cigar AVO Domaine No.s 30 & 40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogus Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Actually hat's off to Alec Bradley. He produced a Principe cigar ( I can't recall) that was pure butter and cream. I still remember it. Given it is 20.000 cigars later, no small feat. Great box. Sir that would be Prensado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicky Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I can still remember the Honduran Hoyo de Monterrey cigar called "DREAMS" They were coronas and came packaged w/o cello in a 50 count natural cabinet. What a great cigar it was. Another was Hoyo de Monterrey "Cuban Largo" made only in maduro. Dalia size. Great rough and tumble cigar. Along the lines of the Cazadores. Totally agree with the La Gloria Wavell. Glorious cigars back then. The Puros Indios had already jumped the shark before I got around to trying it.

Mahstah Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Opus X #2s, Illusione rothchildes - great rotation smokes Viaje Antidote - new smoke I just added they are damned tasty. Padron 1964 Maduro - such an consisant product they put out. Tat - TAA2012s I want to say. ( I do like the org black gordas though also, or the black lance in the old man and the C.)

kwsaw63 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Have had more misses than hits with the NCs I've tried over the last 4 years but there are a few I would happily find a permanent spot for in my humi. My top 5 are:- Oliva V Double Robusto AF Rosado Sungrown Magnum R54 Liga Privada T9 Robusto Toscano (all) Sultan Cigars Edmundos (best Indonesian cigar IMHO) Honourable mentions go to:- Carlos Torano Exodus Silver Edition Robusto Corto Diesel Shorty Carlos Torano 1916 Cameroon Torpedo 3 Reynas Robusto CAO Italia Novella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jnaube Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Anything Liga Privada no 9 for me and the Monster Line from Tatuaje. Good friend Orson Welles was kind enough to give me some and the strictly cuban cigar smoker in me was flabbergasted by the incredible quality of these sticks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndhaon91 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Opus x perfecxion No 2 ............still one of the best cigars I have had. Oliva serie v double robusto Ashton VSG Torpedo Padron Family Reserve no 46 La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor belicoso Hardly ever smoke non Cubans or purchase them at all of late . Damn do we have similar tastes. This could easily double as my list. The Oliva V double robusto was my first true love in the cigar world, and I will always have them on hand.

Duxnutz Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I love different wrappers as a change of pace to Cubans. Fuente Hemmingway Classic - Cameroon goodness Tatuaje PCR - if you haven't tried these I urge you to. Liga UF13 L'attelier anything A wild card; Mario Palomino. These used to be Jamaican and now are blended with some of it but I find them super creamy and delicious. Cheap as chips. Plenty of decent NCs it just that you end up with overflowing humis of stuff you don't like trying to sample a wide variety of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smallclub Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The only NC in my rotation was Villa Zamorano (well made cheapos by Flor de Selva; I don't believe they're imported in North America); Recently I have added the Illusione Rothchild, a great Q/P ratio and they always deliver; Next NC addition might the Fuente Short Story or Chateau Fuente. I'm not interested in the "premium" NCs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perkinke Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm still working on building up a stock of CC's so my collection is primarily NC, but these five I always like to have quite a few on hand. Fuente Hemingway Short Story Curivari El Gran Rey My Father El Centurian Camacho Connecticut (original blend, not the new garbage) Regius Black Label robusto or corona.

Charltonc Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 If I was absolutely forced to add NC's into my rotation it would have to be any of the Paul Garmirian sticks, nothing else. x2. Gourmet series 2 and symphony are the only noncubans that I smoke anymore and they are both PG. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partriar Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 x2. Gourmet series 2 and symphony are the only noncubans that I smoke anymore and they are both PG. I have a few of these in the Lancero format with about 10 years of age on them. Truly amazing cigars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dozerhead Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 In no particular order: 1. WOAM-I have a box from 2008 that is outstanding. I don't dip into these too often but I am always well rewarded when I do. 2. Tatuaje El Triunfador OR- I am no Tat *****, but I love this cigar. I only have about 8-9 left in my box, so I am trying to pace myself. 3. Padron 1964 Principe Maduro- I like these fresh as they tend to lose a lot off their fastball with age on them, imo. 4. Liga Privada- I really like this line, but like the Padron Anni's, I am not too fond of the price point, but they do age better than the Anni's 5. Illusione Epernay- another great NC line. Very balanced and flavorful. They don't try to blast you into Nicotine oblivion like most NC's tend to do these days. I don't smoke these cigars too often but I am rarely disappointed when I do.
