- Yesterday's Great Cigars -

[SeaGarr]

What cigar do you still smoke that isn't talked about much anymore?

 

[Nevermore]

For me it's the CAO brand. I haven't seen too many fellow BOTL talk too much about CAO, but it still remains one of my favorites. The Brazil, MX2, and Italia are in my top 25 cigars.

I enjoy the CAO Black in the Bengal size. Just a smooth luscious smoke perfect with that second cup of coffee mid morning.

Had a Diamond Crown Maximus last night. Always have a box in stock. It's one of those sticks that is very good but easily forgotten. I'm constantly digging around for something new instead.

Funny that you say that the Diamond Crown are easily forgotten - I have been meaning to buy some of those for years and keep forgetting lol. One day I'll have one .

CAO's - great call. For me it's the CAO Criollo! Tastes like nothing else I smoke, smoke em every now and again. Never regret doing so!

Just picked up a 5er of the CAO Black Ltd. Edition to try. Let them rest for a while. Can't wait!!

Once in a great while, I'll have a Macanudo for nostalgia's sake. I started smoking during the cigar boom in the early '90s, when Mac was considered one of the "it" cigars.

In reality, they're just "meh."

 

[Happy Idiot]

Smoked boxes of Mac Hyde Park in the 90s.

 

[Laynard]

Every once in a while I'll pick up a NC RyJ Bully. It's the cigar I'd get for bachelor parties, etc. and enjoy the generic cigar taste it offers as a change of pace.

And nc Punch london club or champion or nc HDM. B&M's have em with them wrappers all yellowy. Mmmmmmm

+1 on Punch. That brand just doesn't seem to resonate with serious smokers. Had one the other day...also "meh!"

 

[StogieNinja]

Padilla '68 - just got a few more on the secondary market and I'm pretty excited about them. Wish they were still like they were in the glory days.

 

[Horsefeathers]

I rarely see Ashton Cabinets get brought up, but those are the best mild smoke going. +1 on the The Diamond Crown Maximus. That's a great smoke I completely forgot about.

 

[HIM*]

Stuff from JDN. Ive always liked their cigars.

Me too. Especially the Antano Dark Corojo. I'll always need a few of those in the humi lol.

 

[Smoqman]

Earlier 90's HDM Hondurans. God, they were phenomenal.

Both great suggestions! Tat Noellas and cazzies seemed to be starting to be forgotten here. Still light em up when I'm in the mood for a good NC. Also some of Dion's original lines the 68 and 888 are delicious to me to this day.

07 Illusiones were fantastic.

Haven't tried Italia, but Brazilia and MX-2 are go-to sticks for me.
