NSXCIGAR Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Wow, this is tough! Pre-2000, easy: Boli, RyJ, Party, Punch, Cohiba in that order. Today though...wow. I've actually never thought about ranking them, so I'll try but these are probably just the 5 brands I prefer nowadays. SC HU Trini VR Monte Forget it, I can't rank them.

tsolomon Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 This is tough and I'm sure my wife would add Cohiba in there as she is known as Cohiba Witch (sp.)! Had to add Por Larranaga is there as #6 as I had a Picadores the other night that was fantastic. 1. H. Upmann 2. Vegas Robaina 3. Bolivar 4. Trinidad 5. Ramon Allones 6.

TheMonk Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 It seems almost everybody loves Upmann. No surprise there. My current favorites are: 1. H. Upmann 2. Trinidad 3. Partagas 4. Ramon Allones 5. Cohiba The order of preference does change over the years, but the Top 5 not as much. Probably could've included Quai d'Orsay as they're doing some fine cigars at the moment, but still a very small range available in order to assess consistency.

I am surprised at the lack of esteem for Bolivar. I thought that would be neck and neck with Upmann or at least equal No. 2 or 3. Guess not.

Puros Y Vino Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 I enjoy such a broad spectrum of marcas, but if I had to list the ones I reach for the most they'd be: H Upmann. (Mag 50 is my first love. Love the Mag 46. Sir Winnie. Connie A. HUHC Went deep on all of these) Partagas (So much I enjoy here. PSD4, P2, E2, 898, Culebras, Lusitania, SDC's. Charlottes and various EL) Trinidad (Love the Reyes, Coloniales, Fundies, still well stocked on RobT's and Rob Extras. Enjoying the Vigia too. Definitely favour this line over Cohiba) Cohiba (Well stocked on Sig II & VI. Love the CoLa, Espy, CCE. Enjoy the odd Genios. 1966 is epic) Punch. The DC and Punch Punch are all I need from this marca. I miss the Ninfas, those were superb. Need to try more Coronations as well. *Honorable mention; Raman Allones. Technically this is probably my favourite, but so much of the RA's I enjoy are non standard production. Mostly RE and EL. I enjoy the RASCC and Gigantes immensely, but find the RASS too inconsistent. Probably the only CC IMO that really needs to sleep for 5+ years before they show their stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrouchoMarx Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Difficult to say.... it really boiled down to which had my favourite vitolas (IMO): Trinidad Cohiba Partagas Montecristo Upmann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigsG Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Based on recent amazing experiences, I'd have to say: Bolivar Montecristo San Cristobal De La Habana Partagas H. Upmann @El Presidente is this some sort of experiment/data gathering census to see what you will be offering the daily 24:24? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DSegal Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 H U San Cristobal Vegas Robaina Trinidad Monte As with everyone else's comments, you tend to pick a marca for this list based on a couple of vitolas... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheKeen Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 Currently this would be my Top 5. Undoubtedly will change in the next year or two. 1. Ramon Allones 2. Cohiba 3. Trinidad 4. Diplomaticos 5. Bolivar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyBones777 Posted March 27, 2019 Share Posted March 27, 2019 1. Partagas 2. Bolivar 3. H. Upmann 4. Montecristo 5. Hoyo De Monterrey In fairness I've not had any Trinidad, San Cristobal, Saint Luis Rey, ERDM, RG, Por Larranaga or Diplomaticos(regular production)...yet. The number 5 spot was tough with Punch and Ramon Allones in the running for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that would be neck and neck with Upmann or at least equal No. 2 or 3. Guess not. Last 5 years, meh. Excepting of course the last run of BCG. This is coming from someone who's favorite brand was Boli by a mile. It's a shame since the brand and blend have so much potential (see those final BCG). And I think it's the brand that's fallen the furthest post-2000. Yes, Partagas and Punch have suffered greatly post-2000 but Boli was just such an amazing marca with a great lineup and nuance between models. MRN made the bold claim that if condemned to smoke only one brand, Bolivar would be the choice. I don't believe that statement ever had serious pushback and pre-2000 I agree completely. But the blend was never universally loved and most of the lineup was never "crowd pleasing", something that I think modern Upmann and Cohiba has, and to a lesser extent Monte has.
