I'm interested to know what everyone's favorite new line and/or vitola from this year's RTDA. (hey, if you want to add CC's that's cool.)
My fave line(s): I like both the CAO Italia (fat @$$ ring gauge!) and the HDM Royal Sterling (both need age, but are very promising). Oh, the Cusano C10 is pretty good, too.
I agree on the HDM Royal Sterling. For a strong long-lasting powerhouse, I've enjoyed Oliva Master Blends 1. I unerstand their production will soon end so I just ordered another box of the churchills.
I agree on the MB's, I need to get more Churchills. I've smoked through two boxes and haven't let many age. They are decent for the money, but I'd like to see them in cheaper packaging next time. I keep getting the feeling I'm paying for a box that just happens to contain cigars.
The Anaconda I'll have to take your word on. Someone sent me one in a pass and I haven't smoked it yet. I figured it would be a 120+ minute smoke, and I haven't had the time.
JDN celebracion is a new cheap fav or mine. The italia was a nice smoke but not particularly italian IMO and therefore somewhat of a disappointment. I am still waiting to orders some Royal sterlings to try.

Overall I like the cheap Drew Estate La Vieja Habana "Fumas" Rothschild Luxo (5.5"x52). It has a good taste at a good price.
