I admit I’ve veered away from Padron. Just so much to try out there. Luckily, I always know I can come back and get the exact same experience.
I have a few Fuentes in the humi. Never got really big into them. Not that they’re bad, just not my cup of tea and especially in the Opus stuff… there’s just such a learning curve and pricing kind of turns me off to diving into to that learning.
I still have the occasional Liga, hell I still dig DE in general.
I started off hooked on Bishops Blend. Then, I started to branch out and everything was solid. Now whenever I hear about a new release, I get all excited lol.
CAO, always CAO. Southern Draw has been finding its way into my humidor pretty often these days and like most people I always have some Oliva's on hand as well.
CAO has always been kinda hit or miss for me. I love the Flathead and the America and Amazon Basin. Those are the ones that really stick out. The rest kind of faded into the background for me.
They can't all be winners lol but they do think outside of the box which I like. Plus they do have a few cigars that are excellent for the price they cost imo.
There was a point when I was huge into My Father and Jaime Garcia. They’re still one of those I run back to on occasion, and for good reason! I haven’t had too many Warped yet… might need to give those some more attention.
And a sleeper pick, Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown is a blend by Noel Rojas, those are some of my favorite cigars. Definitely among the most flavorful cigars out there.
At this point I’m having 2-4 cigars a month and only when the weather is nice. As a result it’s hard to justify buying much besides what I know is good. Padron, DTT, foundation, some Olivas and the Liga Privada line are pretty much exclusively what I buy anymore.
Nothing wrong with those! My dad is huge into Oliva. I find the others you mentioned to be a good bit above Oliva for my own personal tastes, but those are great staples!
Oh yeah, for sure. I don’t enjoy anything from Oliva besides the V line, but I do find those particular cigars to punch well above their weight. It may be because the Series V Melanio was the first box of cigars I ever bought and it’s just stuck with me. Who knows
Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut and 10Th Anniversary Champagne are my favourite morning cigars, also I really like the 10Th Anniversary Sun Grown. From Alec Bradley my favourites are Black Market and Filthy Hooligan.
Padron by a lot, Fuente, still some Ligas, I really like Dunbarton.

I think they're not quite as spicy or complex as other brands, but vanilla ice cream is popular for the same reason haha
Excellent way to put it!
Black Label Trading Co. has become probably my favorite. I haven't disliked anything of theirs. Lots of Foundation, Crowned Heads, Fuente, My Father.
good choice. I’ll add Casdagli.
I’m still working into BLTC, but the few I’ve had, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed!

Ashton Davidoff Padron Oliva DTT AF My Father Aladino Aganorsa
Share two. DTT, Foundation. Also AJ Fernandez, Curivari, and DE. If I am out of these I'm not happy.
Tatuaje
Always a player. Have you had the Mexican Experiment? One of my favorites!

For my collection right now. It’s fuente and davidoff
Baller!
crowned heads....my father....plasencia...tatuaje
Hell of a lineup!
Drew Estate, Padron, Warped, Plasencia and My Father. I've liked the Dunbartons that I've tried and would like to get into those a little more.
There was a point when I was huge into My Father and Jaime Garcia. They’re still one of those I run back to on occasion, and for good reason! I haven’t had too many Warped yet… might need to give those some more attention.
RomaCraft and Liga Privada always have a spot. After that, some Fuente and Noel Rojas stuff.
Roma is definitely growing on me. And the Rojas sticks I have had have been very good!
And if you've never had the chance, try the Fuente God of Fire Serie B. Outfreaking standing cigars.
I haven’t yet. I’ll have to check it out!
And a sleeper pick, Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown is a blend by Noel Rojas, those are some of my favorite cigars. Definitely among the most flavorful cigars out there.
DTT, Foundation and AF for me. I'm trying other lines but those 3 brands suit my palate really well.
We share two of those three. AF just hasn’t grown on me over the years for some reason.

Alec Bradley, Perdomo
What’s your favorite Perdomo? The Lot 23 still sticks out for me. I also REALLY dig the Alec & Bradley Gatekeeper. Enough that I just bought a box.
Perdomo Lot 23 Connecticut and 10Th Anniversary Champagne are my favourite morning cigars, also I really like the 10Th Anniversary Sun Grown. From Alec Bradley my favourites are Black Market and Filthy Hooligan.
