i know that this topic has been about before, but i recently changed my top three brands and i figured others probably have as well.
mine are
1) Camacho
2) La Flor Dominicana
3) AVO
honorable mention to Tatuaje and Arturo Fuente
Fuente got dropped out of the top three because LFD has made such a huge impression on me in the last few months. i have yet to smoke one that i didnt like. its nosing in on camacho. AVO is still third simply because of the lack of complexity in the Maduro. If Tatuaje keeps impressing me the way it has been then AVO may fall off the top three. ...unless they come out with an impressive limited run cigar.

Perdomo
Rocky Patel
La Gloria Cubana
Ashton (VSG probably my top 3 favorite cigars)
Fuente (including the don carlos) (GOF and Anejo make up the rest of my top 3)
Gurkha
I had to put gurkha up there because I like a lot of their blends. I have to mention Camacho and La Flore Domincana in this as well.
1. 5Vegas
2. Peppin Garcia
3. Joya De Nicarauga
I know guys someday when i start smoking some really expensive sticks .... maybe that will change ..... but i've yet to try anything Arturo Fuente, or AVO or silly expensive like that.
2. CAO
3. 5 Vegas
I need to try alot more brands. I tend to stick with what I like. I have a bunch of others I haven't tried yet but for now this is it.
Don Pepin Garcia is another that makes it in there. He offers enough diversity in his blends for me to be able to appreciate them from several aspects. I think he's the best blender in the industry now.
Finally I have to put Padilla in there. Simply put, I can't get enough of the Sig. 1932 and 1948, those cigars blow me away each and every time. As of right now I'm a bit let down by the new blends, but I'll wait and see once they've really settled in.
Honorable mention goes to Perdomo, Ashton, Tatuaje, Padron and La Aurora. Any of those could likely make my top three given a slight change of tastes or preferences.
1. Tatuaje
2. Don Pepin
3. La Flor Dominica
All 3 put out some of the best full bodied smokes on the market IMO. A close 3rd would be Ashton and 4th would have to be Oliva.
Padron
LFD
Rocky Patel
Oliva
An honorable mention goes to 5 Vegas for their quality, affordable, tasty sticks.
Gurkha
5 Vegas
shout out to Padilla

special note for cigar.com house blends as these were the cigars that helped me decide what type of cigar I like best. They'll always have a special place in my humidor.
1. Camacho
2. Padron
3. Rocky Patel
I know this isn't 3 but I would have trouble definitively listing even my top 10! So many good sticks out there, and I purposely never even mentioned anything ISOM.
2. AJ Fernandez
3. Gurkha
That being said haven't had the Diesel yet so 1 and 2 could flip after that potentially, and definitely honorable mention Padilla. Agree with Laker also, so many good sticks right now hard to pick only 3!
Illusione
Litto Gomez
Don Pepin Garcia(Old Henry,San Christ,really anything pepin has his hands in)
Rocky Patel
Gurkha is starting to creep into the top three, if everything is as good as the 3x .....we will see
Rocky Patel
Ashton
CAO probably gets my honorable mention.
