@Glassman I feel like I should go back and edit my post to say "in no particular order" so you can politely ask me to put them in order.

See the edit.

Edited mine again to add, Zino platinum Crown series double grande tubo Churchill.

Best NC I’ve ever smoked easily. It was like a 7.5 inch RASS. If I didn’t know any better I would have said it was Cuban.

I've thought that about the Quesada espana, Curi Achilles, and one or 2 others I'm drawing a blank on at the moment. Cabaiguan is damn close.
