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.

Old thread.  Just wanted to chime in on two NC brands that I’ve been enjoying the heck out of lately.....Warped(RS 1988 and La Colmena), and Caldwell(Eastern Standard from 2014 and Long Live The King)

1. Illusione Singulare Miserere 2. Illusione Haut 10 3. Illusione ECCJ 20th 4. Illusione Epernay Le Ferme 5. Illusione Cruzado In fairness, if money didn't matter Padron Famil

For NC's nothing beats a padron, of course thats also the case with the pricetag on them LOL

Padron 1926 80th anniversary

Padron 1926 No 9

Coronado by la Flor Double corona

Illusione Epernay Le taureau

Arturo Fuente Don Carlos No 2

Hmmmm. The number uno is probably the Davidoff 2000 Vintage Panatella Extras! Outstanding cigar.

The older Fuente WOAM (Work of Art Maduro) are great IMHO.

I like the Padron 64's too but find them to work better for me as an after dinner smoke.

The La Flor Dominicana Cabinet Selection Cameroon was another winner.

Havent had any of these in a bit. Although I do have some of the Davidoff's. Might have to dig one out. . .

I like the Ashton VSGs, La Aurora and Illusione Epernays. I too really like the original Puros Indios by Reyes, but I am not a fan of the newer ones....

1. Nothing bigger than a Robusto Format. The perfect size to keep my attention, everything bigger than that is just too much.

I like the Drew Estate Liga Privada No.9 its unbelievable how much smoke this thing produces. You might see it smoking in some streetriots.

After over thirty years of smokeing cigars I have come to the conclusion A GOOD cigar is where you find it !

As others have mentioned;

Padron 1964 - Principe and Exclusivo

- I enjoy both the maduro and regular wrapper. In fact, a '64 with the regular wrapper is still on the list of the best sticks I've ever had.

Padron Family Reserve 45th

- Darn expensive, but every one I've ever had delivers. Wonderful stuff.

Tatuaje - TAA2011 - present

- The Tatuaje TAA's really pull out the stops, are a very good smoke....very good.

Tatuaje - Petite Cazadore Reserva

- Absolute little spice bomb smokes. Fantastic AM with coffee stick.

Probably would be none but if I had to padron 40th anni or 80th. Had a few opus back in the day but can't remember the names that were nicotine bombs. Had a couple of grey cliffs that were decent. Couple davidoffs but that's about it.
