Make Alex post his top 10!

1. Opus X (Unfortunately, I can rarely afford it and I have a habit of giving these to deploying soldiers)

2. Tie: Gurkha Centurian and Padilla Miami

3. Tie: Man O' War Ruination and Man O' War Virtue (Haven't had the Armada yet.)

4. Winston Churchill by Davidoff

5. Padron 3000 Maduro (Haven't had the anniversary series or family reserve, but this is my favorite everyday stick)

6. 262 Paradigm

7. Tie: Camacho Room 101 and Gurkha Legend

8. San Lotano Maduro (Haven't had Habano or Connie yet)

9. CAO America

10. Tie: Ave Maria and San Miguel

I just did the Top Three list. As I stated there, after my top three, there are several other companies that would compete for 4 through 10. I couldn't possibly list my top ten because after the top three, the others kind of rotate position according to how I feel or how the last stick of a particular blend pleased me at the time.

Sorry im late to the party. Did not see this thread yesterday.

MOW Ruination
MOW Armado
Diesel Unlimited
Diesel
La Herencia Cubana
Oliva Serie V
Liga Privada #9
Tatuaje Maimi
5 Vegas Miami
San Lotano Habano

How much personal blending did you don on the top 5 sticks. You've had a hand in them since the beginning but were they made more toward your flavor profile?

These aren't in order

• La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte
• Gurkha Centurian
• Gurkha Empire VI
• MOW Ruination
• Diesel
• CAO Brazilia
• AF God Of Fire
• Davidoff Classic No. 1
• Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet
• Partagas Black Label

I know this list will change I have a ton of stuff to smoke when it ages. I still have to try an Armada I have 6 waiting, maybe 1 this weekend.

1. Don Pepin Garcia Blue
2. Diesel Unlimited
3. Diesel UHC
4. La Gloria Cubana Original
5. Tatuaje Havana VI
6. La Aroma De Cuba
7. Padron 1926
8. RP Decade
9. Gurkha Masters Select Perfecto
10. MOW Original

I feel like I'm forgetting something . . . but this list is a pretty solid representation of my humidor rotation the last few years. The Padron 1926 and RP Decades don't often find themselves in there, becuase I rarely spend that much on a single cigar, but when I they do I really enjoy them.

Man, a list like this reminds me about all my favorites from the past that i've been neglecting the past bunch of years. Cigars like, Partagas Black, CAO Criollo, AF Don Carlos, AF Hemingway and the AF Curly head Deluxe, its been so long since I've had any that I forget what they taste like, except that I liked them at the time. I need to go back and retry all the old favorites again this year.

OK! 24 post (25 with mine), 13 posted top 10 and 6 of those posted the LFD Airbender as a top ten.

What the deal with these!?! (LFD Airbender )
