In my humi at the moment I have a small variety of Padron Maduro (1926, 1964, 2000, and 4000 -- seeing a pattern here?). I aso have some Perdomo2 LEs, Brickhouse, Diesel, Cubao Maduro, and Gran Habano Corojo #5. These are all my favorites.

How are those Diesel's?? Keep seeing them around...seem like an "underdog" sort of a smoke. Not too much attention, but they keep showing up in a few respectable humi's.

Diesel's are a great smoke! Worth every cent, IMHO.

Thanks M.J., might have to try a few!! I'm such a Garcia/Giolito/Ashton whore....need to expand my horizons. Oh well. LFD's on the way.

The Diesels are very nice -- especially for an inexpensive cigar. I have never had any draw or burn issues with any of them and they have decent flavor. Definitely on the recommended list!

Oliva V and Perdomo2 Maduro.

Diesel's are great, and I hear the shorty's are even better!
I love the nUb Maduro (only one I actually like from Nub)
and I'm willing to bet that the Shorty outshines the
Nub knowing how Meticulous, and particular AJ Fernandez
is about his cigars!

I've only tried a handful, but i've never had a draw/construction/
burn problem with his cigars to date! Can't say the same for other
manufacturers. This guy is gonna be around for a Looooong time!

Oliva V lancero, closely followed by Brickhouse robusto.

Chingas · 08-07-2010, 09:08 AM

Ashton Heritage. A revisited smoke for the course and was absolutely exceptional.

On the cheaper end I was very surprised by Alec Bradleys Harvest 1997 Habana. Very good stick.

pektel · 08-07-2010, 09:14 AM

My repertoire is very limited. My favorite smoke I've had so far is a CAO Brazilia Gol!. I should've bought more than a 5 pack. Maybe I should try cigarbid.... but I've been avoiding that site thus far. I haven't even typed in the url yet for fears of no return.
