About the only cigars I have ever tied into, other than a few Cuban Cohiba's before a few years ago, were nasty stock. I started flying to Belize every year on vacation and while I was there, I started trying several different varieties and was pleasantly surprised. At this point I have two humidors and several different selections. I still don't smoke that many, but I break one out on Friday nights, or when the boys are over for a beer. Are any of you guys into cigars?

The first cigar in the photo, the EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel is strong. Very peppery. 98 rated cigar, one of the highest ever.
Smoke it slow and on a full stomach.
Order of strength IMHO:
1. Oliva V Melanio (my favorite cigar-just ordered 10)
2. EP Carillo Encore, middle cigar (2nd favorite, just ordered 20)
3. Aging Room Quattro Nicragua Maestro (3rd favorite, just ordered 20)
4. Alec Bradley Prensado (just order 10)
5. EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel (have a couple left)
The last two you will likely need to relight multiple times.
