Leave it to the guy who started the yardgar pass to have never had a 5 vegas stick hahaha. But I sure did put a few in that box.

Id say for me I like the Casa Magna Colorado quite a bit. Also Perdomo 10 year Sun grown wrapper
I also like the Casa Magna Colorado a lot. But at $6 a stick, not sure it qualifies as a guilty pleasure. LOL
Ive always though guilty pleasure meant expensive haha. If that is the case then Arturo Fuente Anejo Sharks are my guilty pleasure. Also The UF-13 was great! Im sure once I light up my FFP I will feel the same.

For the price I've found Illusione Rothchild and AF short story hard to beat. I'll try just about anything at any price. Never feel guilty about anything I've tried.

Excellent point!! I feel a lot guiltier smoking expensive stuff than I do cheaper stuff.

I had my first Illusione the other other day and completely loved it. Of course, I was smoking outside in beautiful weather and enjoying a great glass of bourbon...

I take "guilty pleasure" to mean something you'd be a little embarrassed for others to know you liked. As in, admitting you enjoy this cigar makes you wonder if someone might think just a little bit less of you.

I don't have a guilty pleasure smoke :innocent:

The small villagers that come in a paper sleeve and black ops (gurkha) conneticut
you mean the export? those guys, and the ugly ass parodi cheroots, are in my car as a back up plan at all times. yup, machine mades are my guilty pleasure. o)

and, FWIW, i think the intent of the OP is "what do you think you shouldn't like, but can't help but like it anyway?" overpriced indulgence would be another matter entirely. this is more in the spirit of "yeah, i do craft beers, but i kinda like a smirnoff ice every once in a while..."

I believe so.. they come in the small yellow box. My dad has always smoked them. I took on to them for short smokes while I grill or just something short and cheap. When he went to Hungary last year he brought me back a small box of them. "Enriched with Cuban tobacco" is the only thing in english on the box. Cant tell but still.. ill smoke em!

Alec Bradly American Sun Grown Drew Estate Java Maduro. (Yeah shut up there it is. I said there is an infused cigar that I like. What the hell are you looking at? Never seen a hypocrite before!?) also I like me some nub maduro's now and again. And the Cao Batazillia is a favorite.

This is cool - more people are chiming in than I expected! I'm still alone on my Montecristo White though - ha ha!

JD_Howard & BritS88 - I guess I’m too much of a newbie to realize Alec Bradley is a guilty pleasure. I thought since they have a stick that was CA #1 that it was considered a respectable brand.


Joeytivo, rdomfoto & Wicket - I’ve enjoyed an Illusione Epernay and thought it was pretty good, but again I didn’t realize it was a stick that gets bashed - ha, ha!

Nobody in their right mind bashes an Epernay or any other Illusione. Alec Bradley makes a couple decent cigars but nothing that stands out as a great cigar.

5 Vegas Gold Maduro
La Vieja Habana Maduro
Gispert

There's no shame in smoking what you like and I like these a lot.
I had the 5 Vegas Gold in the Connecticut leaf and was totally underwhelmed but you're not the first person to say that they liked the maduro. Generally speaking, I dislike Connecticut wrappers anyway, so perhaps I should give the 5 Vegas Gold another try.
