With a similar thread running in the NC Forum, I thought we could get one going here for our favorite Habanos. Mine are listed below in no particular order of preference, but alphabetically.

my 10 favourites (no particular order of preference):
Partagas Petit Coronas Especiales: ( my go-to cigar, old school earthy Partagas taste,...never lets you down).
Hoyo #2: (Creamy Woody..smooth ...perfect after breakfast...to cappuccino)
Cohiba Robusto: (the special babe, draws great, sophisticated smoke...really an amazing experience)
Partagas D4: (Great robust, great typical earthy, leathery taste, belongs in every collection)
Vegas Robaina Famosos: (woody, sweet espresso taste, a kind of after dinner, dessert cigar)
Partagas Lusitanias: (for those special moments, very very smooth) Hoyo DC: (also for those special moments, very very smooth)
ERDM Grande de Espana: (Typical ERDM taste, honey, caramelly and always a hint of that ERDM tea taste)
Montecristo Edmundo: (A monster, smooth, toasty, woody and cocoa)
Montecristo #2: (The pride of Montecristo, smooth, toasty woody taste with more coffee and cocoa...a must have)
Cuaba Exclusivos: (The sweet and woody Cuaba taste, unforgettable...despite the size, this baby can keep you company for about an hour or more).
As I do not have a lot of experience in RE/LE, I will save the two spaces for future entries.
"You only have to spend $150 for a box of montecristo #4's? Holy crap, I got screwed in canada... I mean no vaseline, no kiss behind the ear, leave me high and dry screwed.
Regular cigars- no RE or LE or discontinued vitolas
i'll stick with Bassman's parameters and go one further: only cigars available in mexico

i realize that the order is a bit arbitrary, but it's pretty close.

Thanks Xavi.......the cigars I listed are ones that I had almost a "spiritual" experience with while smoking at one time or another. They are not necessarily ones that I currently have on hand in my humidor, but they are on my list of cigars to get boxes of and save for special occasions. There are others, but I felt that 12 was enough for purposes here.

Agreed! Anyone can just throw down names and let others figure it out, but what's the point. Imagine how lame it would be if CA's Top 25 Cigars Of The Year were never in order.
As for me at this point and time, my fave regular production line CCs are
1) Trini Fundadores 2) Cohiba Siglo VI 3) Trini Reyes 4) Cohiba Siglo IV 5) Partagas SP2 6) Bolivar BF 7) Montecristo 2 8) Trini Robu Extra 9) RyJ Churchill 10) Juan Lopez 2

There are a few REs and ELs I have in my humidor – such as the Cohiba Sublime (EL 2004), Montecristo Sublime (EL 2008) and Montecristo Robusto (EL 2006) -, which I haven’t tried yet, but that could probably make that list once adequatly sampled.
