1) Davidoff Nicaragua Toro
2) Oliva Melanio Robusto
3) Herrera Esteli Piramide Fino
4) My Father Le Bijou Grand Robusto
5) La Palina Mr. Sam Toro

I'm a big fan of a couple you listed, especially the Melanio and Le Bijou. I love Oliva and My Father generally. Honorable mention to the My Father #4, but I tried to choose 5 different makers for my list (in no particular order) -

1. Melanio Maduro
2. Caldwell Long Live the King
3. Flor de las Antillas
4. La Aurora Preferidos #2 Connecticut
5. AF Anejo 46

Probably smoked more FdlA last year than any other cigar, right up there with the La Auroras.

Are you looking for strictly puros?

I'm assuming that we're talking regular releases here and my favs from 2014 are in no particular order:

1. Oliva Melanio PC
2. Surrogates Tramp Stamp
3. CyB Lonsdale
4. Tat 7th Capa Especial
5. Crowned Heads Four Kicks CG

Great and cheap - just the way I like them.

Rodrigo Botique Blend
Tierra Volcan Corto

That's why I love threads like this!!! Never heard of either brand. Damn, son, those look like great sticks. Thanks.

Hmmmm, that might make a really interesting sub-thread. Didn't think about that. In your opinion, what are the top 5 Nic/Dom Puros?

 

[HIM*]

There was some great releases but many are likely gone. I'll try to list some stuff you should be able to find....

Reinado Grand Empire Reserve
Roma Craft CroMagnon Atlatl
Crowned Heads Jericho Hill
La Palina maduro 40
L'Atelier 38 Special

I was wondering because that makes it a bit trickier and definitely leaves out a ton of great cigars. But a few that come to mind are anything Padron, Tatuaje Havana VI, Aging Room M356, My Father, Kristoff Corojo Limitada, Reinado GER, Reinado Core blend, LFD Litto Gomez. I'm drawing a blank on more Dom puros but theres plenty more Nicaraguans lol.

I really appreciate it, man. I had a bit of an ulterior motive for this thread as well. I'm in Phoenix on business for the week and I know some amazing cigar stores here and the tobacco tax is really low here. So I want to grab as many good cigars as I can. Thus I turned to the experts! BTW, do you know any good cigar stores in the Phoenix area?

 

[HIM*]

No clue. One of the AZ brothers will have to chime in on that.
