What's your favorite 'gar

[13511]

I've developed a fondness for the MonteChristo Media Noche's and the Cain F Nub 460's.

Good everyday smokes that are pretty consistent from my experience.

Those are cigars? I thought you were talking about a sandwich! :eek:

There is a cuban sandwich called the media noche I believe.. but nope, cigars.

 

The Cain is from Olivia (originators of the Nub series - which I also find to be rather tasty in the habano and maduro lines) and can be a rather strong smoke since it's fillers are long-leaf ligeros from Nicaragua.

MonteChristo has been around a while, but the Media Noche's are (at least the ones I've had) a medium smoke with a rather cocoa flavor to the smoke. I have't really found any of the other MonteChristo's that I like.

Are those all Nicaraguan cigars? I hope you're not partaking in any illegal contraband from Cuba! :blush:

The Nub's are, as are the Cain.

The Media Noche fillers are from Nicaragua, Peru and the Dominican Republic.

For a "Cuban" I've found that Camacho has some (or did, haven't purchased any in a while) that have some real Cuban tobacco that came over pre-ban. The few that I had were OK... but I'm into a stronger cigar and most "Cubans" are mild to medium typically. They Camacho Pre-Embargos typically go for around $20 each (in singles) and slightly less in a 5 pack.

Crap.. just went over to cigarbid.com and saw they have some Pre-embargos in free-fall. work out to about $10 a stick.. may try to snag a 5 pack.
