:shock: :shock: :shock: now this is unusual..... a non cohiba has crawled up the ladder and entered into Lucas top 5!!! SLR DC... beating worthy contendants of such good sticks as siglo IV.. not to mention Cohiba CE...

Are you really sure about this Lucas, or did you just put another marquee in there to not show yourself to be a totally fallen cohiba whore? :lol: :lol: :lol:

now there are others that sneak in there if they come from the right year/box code (i.e. bolivar petite corona junior '01, punch punch june '03, bolivar belicoso fino '00 and '01)

Mine are currently:

ERdM Choix Supreme (especially 98's or older)
HdM Petite Robusto
HdM Epicure #2
LGC Medialle d' Or
QdO Corona

I would have included the Davidoff 1000, but chances of me acquiring more of these is remote.

In my short cigar lifetime, my top 5 so far...

1. Cohiba EL DC
2. CoRo (pre 2001)
3. Mag 46
4. Monte Robusto EL
5. Cohiba SR's (Robusto & Esplindidos are the top two from the box IMO)

I haven't smoked much aged stuff (ie. pre 2000), so I can't say that this won't change from week to week as I try cigars that are new to me.

RyJ El 2001 Robusto
Cohiba DC EL

My "go to" readily available favs list:

HdM Epi No 2
H. Upmann Mag 46
CoRo/Siglo VI
PUNCH Churchill
Partagas Lusi
Monte/Upmann/Diplo No 2
Sancho Panza Belicoso (which I'll be smoking while watching the NY Jets make it into the playoffs !!!!!)

Going off the few cubans I've ever had:

BBF
Punch Coronation Tubo
Montecristo Petit Tubo
Quintero

And I'm still waiting to try:
CoRo
ERDM Choix Supreme
SLR PC
Another Quintero
Some RyJ and some Monte that my friend picked up in South America (not sure if they're cubans, but I'm doubting it)

What does "varnished" mean?
It means the box the cigars come in has been varnished. For example, the Partagas 898 comes in 2 versions, one in a varnished box and one in a natural box.
Same name, different presentation, and different vitolas.
The RA 898 also comes in varnished and unvarnished, but the unvarnished has long been discontinued.
