    I enjoyed the American Classic Blends from Alec Bradley. And their Prensado was the smoke of the year in 2012 I believe, I had one but my boss stole it from me on Friday afternoon during happy hour.
    Recently tried H Upmann's new Legacy, and it was pretty good.
    I don't think there's been a Rocky Patel I didn't enjoy either.

    Does anyone have experience with Palma Cigars?
    I know they roll in Denver, but I've yet to smoke one. http://www.palmacigars.com/

    I didn't hear anyone mention Ashton's, Gurkhas, Padilla or perdomo. Understand the leaf and the filler to the smokes you enjoy will lead you down a good path. Candela the green wrappers are a nice mild to mid with a bit a evolution to help develop your palate. Depending on time of day, what you've eaten or are drinking all are factors.

    Someone mentioned it earlier and I agree. When Cuba shut or acquired down the tobacoo industry it forced all growers to move else to maintain their fields.
    The Dominican is producing some of the best sticks you can get.

    Cigars international is a great place to pick up sampler packs. If your ever up north hit me up.

    Anyone have a template or log? I had this one pictured tonight, tasted pretty good! Medium, light spice, fast burning, lots of smoke coming off it unlike others.

    Would like to know how to properly rate it.... Or at least explain the proper properties, (so you guys could make a good decision); if you wanted to try it as well.

    Man, How did I miss this thread???

    I like a good cigar too.

    Some of the ones I prefer are:
    H. Upmann vintage Cameroon
    Perdomo reserve champaign noir
    any of the Rocky Patels

    As for what I consider the best bargain cigar: La Finca through JR Cigars. They are about $2-$2.50 a piece if you buy a bundle, and they are definately worth more.
