I love a variety of cigars. To me I know a cigar has hit it off when I smoke it more than 5 times. I tend to just go the singles route because what I want changes with my mood, but the one cigar I can never turn down is the Ave Maria. Is it the best cigar I ever smoked? No, but it is rock solid and affordable. I am a cheap bastard and this cigar hits the value/flavor balance on the head.
