The 12 best individual cigars I had (couldn't limit it to 10 Big Grin and in no particular order). (Note: I'm referring to a single great experience, not consistency for the brand. For example, many Onxys I’ve smoked since have been horrible)

PSD4
Monte #1
BBF
HdM DC
RyJ Churchill
Perdomo2 Rhombus
Camacho Liberty 2003
Padron Executive
Opus X Robusto
Onyx Belicoso
LFD Double Ligero 600
Davidoff Millennium Robusto


In heaven there ain't no beer,
that's why I drink it here.

Oh damn!

You're right! Did you try that Cameroon Legend I sent you yet?

If you like them, I do have a couple extra Iguanas...

There are only a few cigars SO FAR that deserve a spot on my must-try-in-your-life list.

BBF
HDM epi no 2
Cohiba
PSD4
Camacho corojo
VSG
PAM
Padilla Hybrid
Torano Silver
Davidoff Special

Out of all the cigars I have ever had, these few blew me away the first time I smoked them. Subsequent experiences have varied greatly but the first time with each one of these made me feel like a little kid. I am still experimenting with many cuban brands so I know this list is going to get longer and more cuban as I become more experinced but for now, these are as good as it gets IMO.

For some reason, I've found them (at least the machito) to be more mild, or should I say less ass-kicking, than other cigars like the LFD 2000 Series.

Saul, the Machito is the baby of the bunch... try the bigger vitolas. the Machito just gives you a taste.

PS - Mild? What are YOU smoking? Confused Eek Smile

I know it's the baby, that was the idea! Didn't want to be overcome by a cigar.

The top ten always seems to shift around for me over the years (the old memory just isn't what it used to be....killed too many brain cells over the years - see Jamesdrums #3)...but these are the smokes that stand out ....I think:

MC#2 (CC)
Mag46 (CC) (thanks Andy!)
RASS (CC)
Torano Tribute (2003 - 2004's are pretty good too)
Cohiba (older CC)
PAM 64
Camacho Liberty
Padron 6000 Maduro
LGC Serie R #7 Maduro
Fuente Royal Salute Sungrown

There have been a few others, but these I remember (did I say that already?... I'm so confused) Confused

I guess I'll just have to go try some more just to make sure....

I agree with most of these posts but would have to add the Cuban Don Perignon Davidoff.
