Dear Colleagues,

I've been smoking cigars for about twenty years, most of my experience is with NC's. However, for the past five years I've been living, teaching and working in Canada and have smoked only CC's. So, my question to you is " What NC that has been produced over the past five years must I try before I die? I'm looking to head to the States next month and I hope to have at least of week of doing nothing but smokeing and drinking.

Padron 1964 natural or maduro. i prefer the maduro but they are both excellent

padron 40 year, 45 year, and 80 year

^ X2, I like the Monarca size, but I prefer the natural wrapper.

Also Pepin stuff like Tatuaje and San Cristobal.

Don't die while you're down here smokin' and drinkin'.

I second any of the Padron Anniv. (64, 40 year, 45, 80, etc). Also, give some of these a try:

* Any Tatuaje Brown Label
* 601 Green Label (corona is my favorite)
* Padilla Miami 8&11 (corona is my favorite)
* Oliva Serie V (torpedo or lancero)
* Litto Gomez Small Batch #2 (a little bit harder to find)
* Coronado by La Flor Dominicana

All excellent answers. You can't go wrong with ANY Padron. I'll also throw in a Fuente Anejo Shark with at least a year on it

Padron 80th, 40th and 26#1 all in maduro

Tatuaje "the frank"

White Owl Blunts, or Oliva V Double Robusto

Couldn't have said it better myself...Well maybe, All Maduro!

Padron 40, 80 - don't know about the 45 yet
Ashton VSG
Opus X
AF Anejo
Tatuaje Black
Tatuaje Frank

The Padron 80 is a must.

In addition to all of the excellent suggestions above, consider a Tatuaje RC184 Salomon. It's an uncommon smoke, but worth the effort to find one.

For sure.

If you can find one a 100 Años Corona from la Aurora.
