What's your SHTF cigar?

We've all been there - you walked outside in the morning and stepped in dog ***, your ride to work took 3 hours due to traffic congestion, that thing you were working on blew up in your face and now the boss is reading you the riot act and you've got a sneaking suspicion you might be fired, your co-workers are asses and today they're even worse, and on the ride home you ran over your neighbors' kids' bike and now the car needs to go into the shop and you need to buy junior a new bike because his parents never taught him to put his toys away - in short, it's been a really shitty day.

So my question to you is - when the *** hits the fan, what cigar do you light up to unwind from a day like this?
There's only one rule - the cigar has to be in your humi now. This ain't some fantasy cigar, it's gotta be one that you've got in your possession. So which would it be?

Mine - my very last Cohiba tubo from a box that was a birthday present

The ESV and the 10th Aniv Maduro are really the only 2 Perdomo smokes I even care for. I've tried several but they seem to have a similar flavor profile I just am not too wild about... Not sure what it is though.
Well Jason, it's obviously your taste in cigars....or lack thereof.

Just messin. I've run across quite a few people that don't really care for Perdomo for one reason or another. Like I always say, different smokes for different folks. I'll try not to hold it against you, but it will be hard since I'm totally gay for Perdomo. (I dare someone to make a crack at that )

Do we really need to make a crack at that? You pretty much covered it for us! haha I guess thinking back about it, the only ones I've tried that I didn't really care for were the Lot 23 Maduro and Habano, and the Habano Maduro. The Habano Maduro just seemed to be full bodied, but more medium in flavor. Just wanted to clarify my statement as to not offend your gayness for Perdomo's stick... Couldn't resist. haha

after a day like that I probably wouldn't reach for anything very special as I'd probably be still too wound up to enjoy it properly.

Yeah, they definitely all have a family resemblance. It happens to be one I like, but, without naming names, there are also brands that I feel the other way around about: they're fine cigars, just not my cuppa. That said, one of the things I really like about Perdomo is that they have, IME, the best quality control in the business. I don't have enough experience with Davidoffs to speak to those, and they certainly have that reputation, but of everything else, Perdomos are the most reliable. No matter what vitola or what line, they're always perfect. (And that includes the segundos!)

CAO America. Great flavor, keeps me interested, heavy enough for a decent buzz.
