How many go to smokes do you have?

[Cigar Man Andy]

I used to have my go to as the JdNA Belicoso. Then it became the JdNA and the Casa Magna. then I added the Gran Habano #5 Corojo. and yet the Padilla Signature 1932 Robo, and the Illusione cg4. And High End Opus and GoF.

What I have discovered is that there are so many great cigars, I don't want to be limited to one go to smoke anymore. It would be like eating Meatloaf every other day. I love meatloaf, but everyday would get boring.

What I want to know is how you feel about smoking the same cigar on a daily basis.

My favorites right now are the Oliva V, Padron Maduro, Man O' War, and RyJ Reserva. One of those will always make me happy!

Before I found this forum I was happy with just 3 or 4 different smokes in my humidor, for many years that was enough for me, then ...... I began to read the reviews and the announcements here of killer deals available and my life hasn't been the same, now I want them all. Why, oh why did I click on that link that brought me here? God must hate me and wants me to die in poverty, that must be it.

Depends on how you define go-to.

If youre talking every day affordable stuff then i like padron londres maduro and Arganese Coronas

IF go-to means something I pick up when I want a cigar that wont disappoint then mine are: Serie G Toro, CX2 robusto, Italia Novella, and JdNA Antano '70.

If i had to pick one to smoke every day id have to go Serie G

Somewhere around five

WE have the same tastes, Andy. My "go to's" are pretty much the same as my humidors are loaded with the JDnA, Padillas 32, 68, CG4's but for everday smokes I keep Puros nearby along with 6 month aged Reyes Pirates Gold. I recently discovered the place Jerry (veteranvmb ) turned me onto and I am smoking these almost every day. These are incredible cigars after they are aged for a couple of months.

I've had my LVH Corojo's as my go-to for a while, but now it's time for the Puros Indios to take a spot in my humi thx to John for lettin me try one! Who am I kidding? My whole humidor is my go-to! lol!

[Cigary]

You will expand that as you try more cigars. I alternate my go to smokes with a lot of other cigars as there is so many out there. It's like a tobacco orgy of great cigars and I am Caligula.

[Jimbo14]

At the moment my goto are Partagas 989 and Montecristo Petit Edmundo. But im thinking of adding in Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Double Robusto and CAO MX2 into the list

Caligula. That's funny. Caligula as is Caesar? Gary, what are you doing with those sticks?

Gary, I find myself smoking them more and more also. Do you think they are putting something weird in them to make us smoke them
As soon as I get that free humidor from c.i. that my better half won, I am going to fill it up from the shop.
I smoke them too fast to age them.

Since I am a relatively new BOTL, I only buy 5 packs and Samplers so that I can keep trying new things. Honestly, I can't see myself ever buying a box...unless of course it is a great deal on a box of Tabak Especial

[Jimbo57]

A month ago this would be easy: RyJ Vintage II. But now... mass confusion. Ya'll have turned me on to so many wonderful cigars that I had no choice but to invest in cooledors and spanish cedar. It is my God given mission to find that ONE elusive cigar that I must have! At least that's the excuse that works for the moment!

The Vintage II is still one of my favs but the Flor de Ybor belicoso is right there. I find myself continuously going to: Cuesta-Rey #9 & #60 maduro/sungrown, Oliva G maduro/natural, AF Cuban Corona maduro, some Patels like the vintages 90 & 92 as well as his sungrown; Cohiba red dot and Graycliff original. For the price, it's hard to put down a 5 Vegas Classic.

The La Aroma de Cuba original blend is a fav and I've been buying up as much of those as my wallet lets me since the blend has changed. I love the Aroma EE line also. San Cristobal is on the list so I am definitely exploring the world of DPG and it is very rewarding.

I've had the God of Fire Carlos blend and it was wonderful. I have the Carlito blend and the Opus on rest in the humi along with some Padron 1926 and 1964 smokes. Last but not least, I haven't found a Don Carlos or Hemingway that I didn't like.

Now, to find another Between the Lines!

I have to switch it up. I did smoke the Gran Habano Corojo this past weekend and what a great stick, not only to smoke but to look at as well. A nice smooth dark oily wrapper packed with tobacco, it was great but I wouldn't smoke it everyday. I like to switch it up, I might smoke the same brand (ie: fuente) consecutively but it will be different vitolas of different kinds.

[commonsenseman]

I'd say 10-15 go-to smokes right now, it's always changing though. Among the brands: Padilla, Indian Tabac, Montecristo, Camacho, RP, etc.
