I've all but given them up, but I really only liked two:

Padron 2000
La Gloria Cubana Wavell

Both in natural wrappers.

I'm afraid my list won't be as exotic and sophisticated as yours, but here goes:

(In no particular order)

1. Macanudo Hyde Park
2. Virtually any Cohiba
3. Gurkha with Louis VIII Cognac tip
4. Drew Estate Natural Dirt
5. Opus X

Outside of these, I typically prefer robusto sized maduros.

On a side note, I've only had 2 cigars that I didn't really enjoy at all... a cuban Montecristo and an Onyx.

Did you copy my list Eduard?

Cool, especially the Opus X

Why the sarcasm smiley... do you not like Opus X?

 

[rmrdaddy]

Probably very difficult, not to mention pricey to get Opus in The Netherlands, If I had to guess...

They're pricey and often difficult to get around me too! My local shops used to be "limit 1" only, but I think they have eased up a bit now.

 

[Eduard]

Why the sarcasm smiley... do you not like Opus X?

Oh no, Opus X is a very nice cigar! Perhaps it's not everyone's choice but I like it... (especially Reserva D' Chateau)

No, besides some special editions they are not hard to get in the Netherlands... And indeed, for a Domenican cigar these are not cheap

My top five, in no particular order, are:

1) A.F. Hemingway Classic

2) Opus X Double Corona

3) 601 Blue Label

4) Padron 3000 Maduro

5) Oliva Series G Belicoso

Two Fuentes in your TOP 5? Well, these are great cigars! The Oliva Series V Churchill Extra are good, don't know about the G Series...

The Series G is a great smoke for the money. In fact, it compares to the Hemingway series quite well at half the price. And I agree with you about the Series V. I haven't tried too many, but the ones I've had were good.

 

[indycop]

The Oliva G is definitely a great cigar!

 

[Eduard]

The Oliva G is definitely a great cigar!

These are very cheap here and available a singles... I will get me one and share my findings

Nice list Eduard. I haven't had all the cigars on your list, but they're all accompanied by sterling reputations. I dearly enjoy the Choix Supremes, the San Cristobal el Principe is my choice in that brand.

I've had a couple Opus X, but they don't do it for me. Waaaaaaay too expensive for my blood, and even though I like strong cigars, they're too strong to enjoy.

 

[Kermez]

1. Fuente Fuente Opus X
2. Arturo Fuente Anejo
3. Arturo Fuente Hemmingway
4. Arturo Fuente Don Carlos
5. Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva

 

[oddlots]

1. Montecristo #2
2. Cohiba Siglo VI
3. Partagas Black
4. Padron Anniversary series
5. Ashton VSG

I'm sure I'm missing quite a few favorites.
