What is your favorite cigars and occasion to enjoy them?

My favorite is the Por Larannaga Petite Corona. I enjoy one almost every morning on the deck along with a good cup of coffee.

I also love the Ramon Allones Allones Superior but it's too strong for morning enjoyment.

I am a simple man. I enjoy a Macanudo Café while on vacation. I hope to enjoy one with my Step-Dad and Brothers on Easter Sunday.

Oliva series v in toro. Absolutely love those. Summer time post work stress reliever on my deck.

Gurkha park avenue for when I'm golfing.

My go-to cigars are Partagas Blacks in the larger ring gauges - 54 to 60. As they're currently running over $8/per at my local smoke shop, I try to restrict myself to smoking them on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. I'll smoke some Upmann or Brioso maduras most weekday nights and weekend days.

I smoke far too many cigars. When I go on vacation to the Jersey shore, I smoke even more - 4 to 6 per day. This habit gets expensive.

Opus X, Arturo Fuente Hemmingway

Also enjoy the cubanitos

Had a red dot cohiba for the first time in awhile, I didnt pay for it as I think they're over priced but they are good.

La Gloria Cubana #6 when I have an hour and a half to kill.

Those are my favorites but I like others too.

I've been stuck on Partagas for some time now with the occasional 1926 or 1964 Anniversario as a special occasion treat.

My humidor is full as I bought an array of various brands that appealed, back when I retired in 2008. So I have a lot of nicely aged brands to choose from.

So my daily smoke is no set brand as I'm trying to try a little of everything from the humidor.

Next visit to the Shore...Hit the Smoke shop in Barnegat Bay, (exit 67) right on the Main street. Nice folks and reasonable prices.

Liga Privada Dirty Rat
Perdomo Habano Corojo

For me it's a J.D Howard Reserve HR46 by Crowned heads with a glass of ice tea.

I've been on NUB's for a while I just like everything about them.

Had to give it up a few years ago, but my two favorites were Montecristo #2 and Moore & Bode torpedo

Nubs are good. I don't keep a humidor at home anymore since switching to pipes, but when I'm out with friends that's what I'll reach for.

I can't smoke now, but I love the smell of a good cigar and a adore cigar bands and boxes. I think I have about 6 bands and one box now. They're all so different and artistic. I actually considered putting a WTB ad on the classifieds at one point. lol

My favorite cigar band I have is a Deadwood Sweet Jane.

I think my absolute favorite is the Padron 1964 Maduro in the Exclusivio. I still keep others and have a box of AF Anejo #46 coming today. There are Oliva Vs and Hemingway Maduros in there, too.

These days I've been enjoying the snot out of the Drew Estate Java and Java Mints. Absolutely delicious, and the smoke from the Mint smells heavenly. My all-time favorite smoke is still Rocky Patel's Vintage 2003, though.

I tend to buy 1-2 boxes/year, and smoke them over the course of the year with friends. There's no set schedule, just a short checklist (weather good? friends here? got a lighter?).

Cigar.com has them at a pretty decent price if you are buying the box.

Hmmmm...... I have so many favorites, however, these are my most common:

Montecristo Media Noche
Cain F
Oliva V

I haven't ventured into the high end stuff yet, mostly infused stuff. Right now I like cuban Honeys.

Usually after a long work week when I start my first day off.

I have a Dirt Torpedo I will most likely smoke tonight.

Too many good sticks out there to narrow it down to one. Though I found the Schizo is a nice stick that is cheap to be a new favorite. I also love the Camacho SLR maduro, La Gloria Cubana "N" and the "R", CAO Flathead Camshaft, My Father le Bijou and the Don Pepin 10th anniversary is a great stick but expensive to name a few. I am not a fan of the Drew Estate Undercrown or Liga no.9 however, the L40 dark is good but overpriced.

Edited to add: I smoked a Padron this morning from my brother at an egg hunt. It was nice out and was a decent smoke. It could have used a little age on it but still had good flavors.

Also, anytime I have some down time and is decent weather out at home I have a cigar. Most Wednesdays and Fridays I smoke one or two either at my brothers or Cigars International.

Light 'em if ya got 'em!
