Perfecto

[catfishm2]

In the last couple of weeks I've gotten on this perfecto kick. I've only tried the AF Hemingways. Seems like I don't hear alot about this shape. Does anyone else smoke these and if so do you have any recommendations? I would really like to find some that are full bodied with a maduro wrapper. Thanks for your help.

Looking for perfecto with full-body and maduro wrapper. I would recommend some of the following:

Onyx Reserve No.2 Belicosos
Trilogy Exotic Maduro Torpedo (not quite full-body, but tasty)
Avo Maduro Belicoso

I think those are some good ones to try out. Let me know what ya think.

Grinch OUT!!!

One of the first cigars I used to smoke way back in the day was the Philly Perfecto. I'm almost embarrased to say it. Its on a par with White Owl. Isn't it a real eye opener the first time you have a good hand-rolled cigar after having cheap machine made ones?

Torano Signature Perfecto.. Has a Brazilian Maduro wrapper

All DOM Partagas Serie "S" are perfecto shape. I'm not a maduro fan so I don't know if they come in maduro. It the shape that's different but the blend is the same as the regular partagas.

Forgot about that line. Good call. I think you're right in that I don't think i've ever seen them in maduro.

txmatt's a huge perfecto and figurado fan. PM him, or he might wander by with some suggestions.

Matt is a mad man! That's quite the list. I'll second the Gurkha Legend Anniversario...it's quite a smoke. I know you said the Hemingway line but if you have not had the Work of Art maduro, and you can find one, grab it.

[zemekone]

DAMMIT! all four my favorites are on Matts list.... I just have to a tad bit faster

[kansashat]

You might want to add:

CAO Napoleons
Don Tomas Cameroon Collection
Perdomo Reserve

txmatt outdid himself, as usual.

[txmatt]

Hat listed a great one there missing from my list: Perdomo Reserve. I haven't heard about or seen the CAO Napoleans before, can you provide more information KansasHat?

In the Perdomo Reserve line the F, D, P, and V all are Perfecto or 3 guage Figurados. Pic below:
