Some of my recent favorites have been the CX2, Vegas Miami, Rocky Patel Signature. Really I have liked pretty much every Rocky Patel other then the Connecticuts which I don't enjoy in general. I mostly prefer Cameroon, Habano, and Maduro wrappers. I find Connecticuts too light to add much flavor to the filler and Sun Grown to be a little too rough. I like medium to full flavor with the extremely full cigars being a bit too much. The Gurkas seem to be generally on the strong side. Greycliffs seem very balanced and great for a connoisseur but lack some of the distinct flavors that I enjoy in the wrappers of some other brands. Nub makes some great cigars if you enjoy that size but they don't really live up to the whole sweet spot idea. Other then the CX2, and MX2 I havn't been a big fan of CAO cigars, and similarly with 5 Vegas I have only liked the Miami. Not a big fan of Punch. I like the Oliva series G and my wife really likes the series O. Montecristo, Cohiba, Padron,and Pedilla are all good. My wife really likes the Montecristo whites. The Fuente OposX is good and the Maxx is good but I think on the strong side. Oh thats about all I can think of off the top of my head.

You say you don't like extremely full yet the 5 Vegas Miami is very strong and Opus X is one of if not THE fullest cigars in the world! Have you tried the 5 Vegas A? Love it. My favorite has to be the Rocky Patel Vintage 1992. Early last year you could get a bundle of 15 segundos (seconds, but Patel has ridiculously high standards so they are still fantastic) for around 2.50 a stick! Then people caught on and the price went up.Originally posted by RRK
Have you tried the CAO America or CAO Brazilia? What about the CAO L'Annersaire Camaroon? Best camaroon I've had.
Try the Oliva Serie V. It got very high markings for being a lower priced cigar (I believe it got a 93 or a 94). After they came out it was tough to get your hands on one.
If you like Oliva and like really thick ring gauges, try a Nub! They are made by Oliva. Those things are wonderful. Don't be fooled by their small length, they don't really burn too hot and are a good 30-45 minute smoke.Comment

Yeh, I like some extremely full flavored cigars and I have liked a few mild cigars but in general I stay in medium to full. I did think the Opus X was a bit too strong but still good same kinda deal with the MX2, Gurkha Titan. I have enjoyed a few Nubs and all of the Rockey Patel vintage lines are very nice. I didn't really like the CAO America or Gold but I'd love to try the Cameroon and I have had most of the Olivas but I don't remember the series v standing out.Originally posted by btrip
Here is some of my labels. I try to keep some of them for a cigar journal but that doesn't always work out. I do have labels for the CAO cameroon. I think maybe that was one of the first I had and probably one of the reasons I started to prefer cameroons.

That cigar journal is a wonderful idea... Where did you print that out from?
Another one of my favorites has to be El Rey del Mundo. The robusto larga is fantastic.Comment
