What are your favorite regular production cigars? Let's go Top 3

[DogRockets]

The title says it all. What are your favorite regular production cigars. Regardless of cost or how often you actually smoke them. I'm curious what each Bum thinks are the best.

My top 3 would be:
1. Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Broadleaf - best maduro around in my opinion! $10-12 purchase price. I love these things.
2. Padron 1926 Natural - Love this. Due to the high cost of entry I don't get to smoke these very often however.
3. Ave Maria Reconquista - love the spicy sweet combo this cigar has - it's unmatched

What would yours be?

[jhedrick83]

On the NC side:

1. Opus X Either Petit Lancero or Fuente Fuente
2. Anejo 46 or 888
3. Tatuaje Black Petit Lancero

I know you said 3. So that's my 3 but the two fighting for that last spot are LADC Mi Amor and Oliva Master Blends III. Put 3+ years on those and they are epic!

I just picked up my first 5er of the Oliva MB III about a month ago. I've never smoked one before. Looks like I'll be waiting a while before I pull that out! Thanks for the head's up.

They are really good fresh, so don't hesitate to smoke one now. It's just that time does special things to it IMO. Hell smoke one a year for the next 5 years!

[Brimy]

1 - Opus X Power Ranger
2 - My Father Le Bijou
3 - Diamond Crown Julius Ceaser

[cheaphumidors]

Only top 3?! How can I ever choose?!

1) My Father No. 5
2) Ave Maria Lionheart
3) AJ Fernandez New World Toro

These are my favorites as per how many of the bands I have in my band box. Which means I love them AND I can afford to smoke them often.

[Ilroy]

There are still many many that I have not yet tried, especially the pricier ones, but so far, for NC, I would say:
CAO MX2
Illusione Ultra
LGC Serie R

[dj1340]

Now that's a hard question to answer

1. Partagas Serie D #5
2. RASS
3. Nica Rustica

[Tombstone]

1. Ave Maria
2. Man O' War
3. MJ12 Maduro

[Old Smokey]

That's tough.

1) Opus X Petite Lancero
2) Fuente Anejo 888
3) Warped (damn, which one was it?) sorry, sometimes old sucks.

[kuntry08]

For the NC Side...
1. Padron 1926 Maduro Corona

[Cardinal]

1. Oliva V (can we count the variants - V Maduro, and Melanio natural and maduro too?)
2. Fuente Anejo
3. My Father My Father

Those are ALMOST the only 3 NCs I'd buy a box of at this point.

MBIII are great, yeah! I should smoke more of those, thanks for the reminder :yes!:

That New World you sent me in the coffee pass was great, hadn't had one before but I can see why you'd rate so highly.

Be patient with the MB3. They're delicious....
OK, I'm a day or two behind so this has been stated. Some REAL everyday smokes are JdN Antano 1970 and LGC Series R. And I'll toss in a 46....

[Horseshoe]

1. Padron 1926/64 it is a toss up.
2. Davidoff Escurio
3. Jericho Hill maybe? Unless you count TN Waltz

Unless you count Anejo, and Angels Share. Then they would move into my top 3.

[oleballcoachtn]

1. AF Anejo 46, 888 or 77
2. Padron 1926 maduro
3. AF 858 sungrown

[jhedrick83]

That's tough.

1) Opus X Petite Lancero
2) Fuente Anejo 888
3) Warped (damn, which one was it?) sorry, sometimes old sucks.

I think Steve is my Spirit Animal...

[WNYTONY]

Padron 1926 Natural
Tatuaje Black
Jericho Hill, although I'd put in the Tennessee Waltz or Las Calaveras if they qualify as regular production

[BlueDevil07]

Padron 1964 maduro
El Gueguense
New World

[Usafvet509]

1) CAO Brazilia
2) LGC Serie R maduro
3) Roma Craft Neanderthal

Even that portion of my favorite list is fluid, but these I'd happily buy beaucoup boxes of

[AUotto]

1. Liga T 52
2. Padron 26/64 Maduros are also a toss up for me
3. A tie between La Imperiosa/ Tat Black

[Bruck]

In my relative noobularity, 'm not entirely sure what is meant by "regular production," so I'll assume it means whatever is regularly available these days. And I'll disclaim right up front that my tastes generally occupy the lower half of the barrel:

RP Edge Habano
Graycliff 30 Year Anniversary
Pretty much anything that Don Pepin comes up with

Aint no way anything Pepin could be other than near the top of any barrel. Which has to mean the other can't be either...well maybe I know what I mean, maybe.
Nice to see all the choices that are named in this thread.

[Madbricky]

AJ Fernandez always!
Diesel Unholy Cocktail
New World
Anything affordable wrapped in African Cameroon. I love the Fuentes but must settle for Black Pearl Morado as its cheap.
