For me I'd have to be La Riqueza Petit Robusto followed by Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial Petit Robusto. I really like Conn Broadleaf on shorter, more stout cigars for some reason.

Tat Regios Reserva will perhaps always be one of my all time favorite cigars. Love the Noella as well, but prefer the Regios size....just plain awesome cigars.

Pork Tenderloin - It's a near sexual experience just pulling one from the cello and holding it under your nose.

Noella Reserva - Every time I smoke one, I'm floored by the flavor that comes out of this stick.

SW maddie, Regios Reserva, Noellas Reserva, the list goes on and on. Too many great ones for me to have a favorite. If I had to choose, I'd say the SW maddie.

I will also say the 7th reserva was really great, great blend that drove the wrapper home. Also the SW Reserva w/CB really great. The Federal 90th Reserva 109 is awesome and I look forward to smoking one in 69 days:glassesgr

Thanks Mr. Mack Daddy. For a minute there, I was listing all my favorite Broadleafs, and then I came to the realization that my favorite B-Leaf cigars are from The factories of Pepin, Fuente and Drew. Back in the day I would have included some in the Villazon lineup, including Punch, Hoya de Monterrey and Jr Ultimate Double Maduros, but these days they are too mild for my taste.

It's funny you should mention the Villazon lineup. When I first got into this hobby, I really gravitated to these lines, and never really new why. After your post it is obvious. Many of their lineup contains a conn broadleaf binder. On the some of the Maduros, which is what I enjoyed, the Punch deluxe, and Grand Cru lines have the conn broadleaf wrapper.

I have not had one of these in quite some time, but I might pick up one or two to see if I can pull the broadleaf flavor profile out of it. Plus, it might be nice to visit an old friend. Of course, I am not expecting anything like an 09 Noella reserva, pcr, 7th reserva, tenderloin............

What a great leaf. My all time fav is the Noella reserva, but I have to say I really enjoy the PCR currently. I have a La Sirena that was gifted to me from Raspol, but have not had a chance to burn it yet. There are a good number of sticks out there with this leaf, but of course they do not always provide the same flavor for obvious reasons. Similar, but not the same. I am very excited to try the La Casita Crolla when it becomes available. IMO and from what I have smoked over the years with this leaf, Pete really drove this leaf home.
I think I have a few more Noella Reservas for us to smoke :thumbsup:
