The Top Holy Grail Cigars - Loved The World Over! 

The first stick I fell in love with is the Oliva Series V Melanio. Broke me into the habit of buying more sticks than I need.

I'm a pretty new smoker. I had the good fortune to happen on the Padron 2000 without knowing it's notoriety and it is currently my favorite. I'm graduating law school on May 18 and I specifically bought the 1926 to celebrate!

I strongly believe that Oliva Serie V Melanio deserves mention. Nearly every shape scores 90+

I tried the Flathead 660 because of this video and damn I’m glad I did. It’s an amazing cigar and it hit me just right. Thanks for the review brother!

A friend introduced me to the Padron 64, and it is one of my favorite cigars of all time. On a whim, I grabbed a Ramon Allones, cause I loved a lot of AJ's other blends, and to me it can go toe to toe with the Padron. I can't pick a favorite they are both stellar sticks

My first sweet Jane was my holy cigar moment. Walking the dog around the neighborhood with a glass of southern comfort & coke in one hand and a deadwood tobacco co. Sweet Jane in the other. I was in heaven!!

I know nothing about cigars. But I look for that lady every time I’m in the cigar shop because it’s my favorite cigar ever. Now I know it’s the deadwood by drew estates. I love it!!

Tim is awsome been watching him grow for years. Dude has the greatest job you could ever have. I often envy him and his access’s to great cigars. I live in NC on the other side of the US and these are the type of guys I will give my money and like supporting.

Aside from a 10 yr old BHK 52 which was the best cigar I've ever smoked, my absolute favorites are Oliva v Melanio figurado and Monte petit Edmundo. I'd probably pick the oliva over the Monte as my absolute #1 go to. As someone who collected more Cubans than new worlds in the past, I have to say I've come to love new worlds more. Some simply incredible NCs out there....

Placencia Alma fuerte is the cigar that I absolutely fell in love with

Just started looking at cigars daily vid‘s. And this is a different Tim than I’m used to seeing. I enjoy these videos, and I see a more “discussion - like Tim” in this vid…and I like the “cigar review Tim”but I also like the discussion Tim as well. These are great videos, and I enjoy them.

Tried the Rose of Sharon last week great smoke

One of my all time favorite cigars is the CAO Colombia. It is the first cigar I ever had. And my coworker while working overnights at the local Home depot, Who was a very cool Honduran man named Omar bought me a box of them and I have loved them ever since.

For me the cigar that hit my pallet best was the Camacho Nicaragua Barrel Aged. Nothing hits the spot like sitting back with the barrel aged cigar and a glass of Flor de Cana aged rum. Amazing and so glad I got the last 3 from my local shop.

Funny, I just recently heard in my local brick and mortar. A couple young kids came in asking the lady working where do they keep the Cubans never heard that before but I loved her. Follow up rebuttal ID and we keep them in Cuba lol.

Ep Carrillo is slept on. Padron, my father are my go to but EPC has slowly taken all my money. Ernesto is a true master blender

I have the Padron 1926 10th anniversary torpedo for my wedding. Beautiful.

First cigar I’ve ever tried was a Padron. When I finally learned how to properly smoke a cigar, Padrons are still my go to.

I have been exploring cigars now for two months. The one cigar I have tried that I fell in love with is Alec Bradley Magic Toast! Which by the way you recommended in your previous videos. Changed the game for me! Great content, keep it coming! I look forward to it.

For several months now, I've been trying to sample a different cigar every week. Most of them have been a pleasant experience, with only two that were disappointing. There are so many good cigars out there and the selection seems endless, which I guess makes this hobby so much fun. So far, my favorite is Padron 1964 Anniversary Maduro. Great cigar but the price keeps from smoking it on a regular basis. Keep up the great work Tim!

I absolutely love the Rocky Patel vintage 2003 Cameroon. Inexpensive and absolutely delicious and enjoyable to smoke.

My personal favorites 1) padron ‘64 Maduro 2) Oliva master blend 3 3) Perdomo double aged Maduro I smoke the Olivia’s as a go too. Padrons for “occasions” Perdomo as a change up.

May I suggest the San Cristobal Ovation? A limited edition that starts out mellow and before it's at the halfway point, bursts out with an ambrosia of different flavors. It's a stick that you want to make sure you can take the time, relax, and enjoy. A nice break form the everyday Padron 1926 (snik)

Got a new job and celebrated with a 2005 Estate Sun Grown I have been holding onto for such an occasion. It was incredible!

Your list was pretty good, but the "cigar you love" part was great. For me, even though I love a stronger cigar, my favorites for over 20 years have been Fuente and La Aurora (mostly the original or "1903" now) I just really love the flavor of them. And not to give you a big head, but Obrigado made a big impression on me as well (I scored it a 92 after 2 robustos). I really can't afford any of those on a regular basis though, but I love em when I can get some.

There have been a handful of sticks that got me going. Oliva Melanio Robusto, La Galera 80th Anniversary Box-Pressed Belicoso, Fuente Añejo 46, some particularly well-aged La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor, Tabernacle, etc. The one that stunned me was the simple Aladino Corojo Elegante (lancero). 100% old school Corojo grown by the Eroia family in Honduras. At its price point, it can't be beat. When I first tried one at the local shop, I was maybe 1/4" in when I cursed under my breath, put my cigar down, walked into the humidor and grabbed another. Every single one has been just as good. For me, it really stands out for its flavor and consistency, so I would choose it as a daily smoke and pick up one of the others mentioned to spice it up or for a special occasion.

Aladino vintage and the normal basic one. Both in lancero. Perfect.

God of Fire Carlito has been my go to as of late. Fantastic smoke

Weird but for some reason Tim looks like an animated computer game graphic in this video!!! Great video Tim.....there are some great smokes out there!

My "WOOOW" CIGAR SO FAR THIS YEAR IS THE H.UPMANN BARBIER!! WE SAW THEM AT TPE AND GOT SOME IN AT THE SHOP A FEW WEEKS AGO!! AND HOLY COW!!! THE FLAVORS THAT CAME OUT OD THAT STICK!

Love Tim’s video’s like a great meal. Alway great.🏆

As tastes change I’m finding the Oliva V Melanio’s are my go to high end budget friendly stick. I’m wishing I could find more of the Camacho Imperial Stout and the Tabak Unknown though!

Thanks, this was great. Going to try the Singulare!

660 was the first maduro that I fell in love with.

I just returned from James J Fox in London. They assisted me in selecting the Romeo Y Julieta Desda 1875 Habana-Cuba Churchill. It was such a pleasant cigar I had two more before leaving London. My new favorite, and now I can't get them.

Montecristo no 3 (cuban) is one of my most favored cigars of all time. I smoked one for my birthday recently that’s been in my humidor for almost a year. I can’t find any in stock online for over 6 months.

The 2 that I absolutely love above all else now are the reliable undercrown maduro, and this year the west Tampa tobacco black.

The cigar that hit for me like nothing else I’d ever smoked is the Dorado from AJ

My first cigar was a Deadwood Crazy Alice, I really hated it. Looking back it was probably just overly-dry, so i'm excited to give it a second try.

I have really been enjoying the Le Bijou as well as the Epc pledge prequel

Just found this site…….love you guys. I started smoking cigars in the 80s and to this day, I probably break all of the “cigar rules” but don’t care. You guys let me know…..that’s ok. Rafeeq

I love the flathead 770. 2.5 hr smoke. Excellent stick.

My top 3 cigars at the moment are #1 Sin Compromiso No.5, #2 Liga Privada No.9 Robusto, #3 Pardon 1926 40th Anniversary Torpedo. The Sin Compromiso is just out of this world good. If you like coco, dark chocolate, earthy cigars. Love you Tim and guys!

Flathead 660 is one of my favorite cigars! flavor bomb!!!

I’m only a month in to the hobby and I’ve tried half of what was shown here: flathead 660, MF (several ones), deadwood (all lineup, and was my first go-to), and rose of Sharon. Haven’t tried Liga 7 (cant find one) but I fell in love with Liga Undercrown maduro. Bought one from a local B&M and immediately got me a box online!! Same with reserve champagne tubo!

Deadwood is what got me into cigars a few years ago. I had tried cigars now & then throughout the years, and nothing ever stuck. But Deadwood introduced me to what COULD be- flavors other than “tobacco”

I recently got more into smoking cigars and so far drew estate fat bottom Betty one of my favs

I’m new to cigars and the Le Bijou 1922 was amazing!

Plasencia Alma Fuerte Sixto i One of the most consistently damn good cigars out there.

My favorite all time cigar that isn’t made any longer was the Felipe Gregorio Fusion 2, but my favorite cigar right now, when I can find it is the Dunbarton Stillwell Star.

Probably be laughed at for this but Oliva is my absolute favorite. Extremely cliche I’m sure but the serie O is just a good laid back smoke. Serie V is delicious and the V Melanio is just as good as I hoped it would be. Love the flavor of the serie O (again I know I’m what most would call basic lol). Cheers! 💨

Just ordered the Singulare based on this video.

Deadwood was my first ever cigar. Loved it

Smoked a deadwood recently and fell in love with it, just like isla de sol.

Good selection of great cigars. My "your cigar" is Perdomo 10th Anniversary and Room 101 Miami Snow.

The Ando Bull. Was able to buy them before they were cigar of the year. Now down to my last stick

Padron's are elite. But the Leather Rose has been an absolutely incredibly addition to my humidor. I can't stop smoking them. Finally, I picked up a Liga and will smoke it come spring/summer of next year. I hope it meets the hype.

Thank you all. Great Video!

I'm smoking a deadwood fat bottom Betty. Had the sweet Jane yesterday and loved them both

Flor de Las Antilles was that transportive smoke for me. I had a religious experience. I took a puff and it tasted so good that I felt a charge of elation rush up my spine. I said, "whoah." Out loud, while looking at the cigar thinking, "what is this thing doing to me?" It was euphoric. Now I use that experience as a marker for judging other blends. A cigar has to give me that spine rush in order for it to score higher than 94😅

Padron 1926 is the most excellent cigar I've ever had....but if I could have a box of anything, Liga Privada No. 9 in the Flying Pig size is like having a box of gold

Tim i actually saw the room 101 13th anniversary Toro for sale in boxes about 2 days ago.

LEATHER ROSE was my 1st Cigar and my favorite is SWEET JANE, I enjoy the cigarillo style of tokin...

Deadwood Sweet Jane is one of my favorites. Do not sleep on those.

Padrón hits my pallet just right, but not my wallet lol! But for me what also hits my pallet just right, and is significantly easier on my wallet is the Perdomo 20th Anniversary Maduro Churchill. If you haven’t tried it you need to. Fantastic smoke and at a fantastic price. They won’t break the bank. But for me a Churchill size cigar from any brand is always my go to size. To me it’s the perfect size. The blend is always perfect amount of filler, binder, and wrapper, making the perfect balance of flavors, and makes for a nice 1.5 hour to 3 hour smoke depending on how slow I can smoke it without it going out on me lol.

Don Peppin blue garcia doesnt get the love it needs

Flathead 660 was in the first handful of cigars I ever bought other than gas station stuff, loved it, it really got me into premium cigars and 4 years later I have over 400 cigars

Do you consider all liga cigars to be good or excellent? My local total wine & more has logs but there under crown. Good buy or not?

Hey guys Recently Subscribed to the channel. Enjoy what you're doing. I have a request. Would you add a list of the cigars you discussed on the show. Sure would make life easier when taking notes on things to try. Thank you

Any commenters have some advice on what product I could use to give my cigar's; vanilla, cinnamon, & spearmint flavor infusions (separately, just the 3 flavors i enjoy most)? Iv got a 100 capacity humidor.

For me the cigar I love that's just a staple, has to be the plansceia reserva original, the blend and consistency, and the fact it's a completey organic cigar, it never fails for me

That cigar was a Padron Hermoso maduro! Just WAO!

I had a Drew Estate Fat Bottom Betty cigar recently and have to admit it's one of the best cigars I've smoked in a long time. I haven't tried the Southern Draw Rose of Sharon yet; but looking forward to soon. Keep rolling with the excellent videos.

The first like OMG moment cigar for me was RoMa Craft Neanderthal, the second was Liga T52, and the latest one and I can’t stop smoking them are the Foundation Tabernacle

Just had a diesel whisky row sherry cask maduro... amazingly delicious

San Cristobal is pretty good all accross the board. Quality and budget friendly. The CAO 554 is a great one as well.

I've tried romeo and julietta,ciglo, Don Tomas classico and Don Tomas Honduras. Don Tomas honduras is by far my favourite and it's cheaper than all the others?

so damn right, the v melanio it get me started in cigar, that perfecto size v melanio, remember an old chinese man, the cigar lounge owner told me whose a newbie to try the v melanio and a nub, that was few years ago, and man now there is a bigass humidor in my living room filled with different boxes and friends around me all started collecting cigars.

I just started smoking cigar and the cigar that spoke to me and made me wanna start was the Tatiana vanilla cigar

Have you ever had Caldwell's lost and found 11:38? If so how was it? I wanna try but cant find it anywhere

I think my favorite cigar I have ever had was the Diamond Crown Maximus Standford's 90th.

Just ordered a 5 pack of the Illusione Singulare's

I gave up smoking cigars for lent this year and have been looking for a cigar to be the 1st smoke back, these are good choices which should I choose or what are your recommendations for my 1st smoke?

I hope to try all 9.

Are you recommending the whole Singulare line , or just the Oregen?

Cant wait to smoke!!

Flores y Rodriguez Connecticut Valley Reserve that I picked up a single of in the 'bargain bin of singles' at Jungle Jim's that had probably been in the humidor a couple years, best cigar I've smoked full stop. I'm just sad I can't find another *anywhere* anymore.

I tried quite a few cigars based off this list. I judge cigars based off how many sips of whatever I’m drinking is needed to cleanse my pallet during the smoke. My Father Le Bijou 1922 was a great smoke, needed very little pallet cleansing, and definitely adding more to my humidor. CAO Flathead V660 was amazing for me. Loved the flavor throughout and is now 1 of my favorites. I could smoke it without taking a sip of my drink. The Southern Draw Rose Of Sharon Robusto for me was just awe full for my pallet. Very bitter and harsh during 1/3 and last 1/3. 2/3 wasn’t bad and palletable. I needed to drink a lot clearing my pallet during the entire smoke. I have 4 left and might give them away to friends. Drew Estate Deadwood Tobacco Leather Rose was interesting, but way too sweet for me. The overall smoke flavor was decent. I needed to take many sips of my drink though really just to take away some sweetness. I’d buy a few more just to have with certain friends that aren’t big cigar smokers. Drew Estate Liga Privada No.9 Corona Doble was a great smoke with great flavor. For the price I have others similar I rather smoke though. Had a Padrone 1926 No. 6 Natural during my Key West vacation and was a nice smoke. Needed little pallet clearing and was an overall great smoke. Decently priced for the quality.

My Father Le Bijou 1922 CAO Flathead V660 Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Deadwood Leather Rose Alec Bradley Filthy Hooligan Liga Privada No. 9 Padron 1926 Illusione Singulare Origin I've only tried the Liga No. 9 and was blown away. The rest are going on my must try list!

Would have to say, Cohiba, Trinidad, Partagas, H.Upmann.... a bunch of other CCs and then maybe in a pinch I'd try one of the sticks mentioned in the video

For me it’s the Master Blend 3!

Oliva G. That one hit me right. I have a few boxes of Davidoff, but Oliva Serie G still gets a lot of my smoke time.

The flathead is STOUT!!!!! Love it

2005-6 was the best years for many Dominican and Nicaraguan. Many have never been as good since imo. Arturo Fuente Sungrown Cuban Belicoso torpedo (Black Label👈) for $6 Was the really the greatest cigar I've ever had. 96 points on Cigar Aficionado. Unlit draw was rich in spearmint and citrus. The wrapper was as tough as shoe leather towards the end you could literally bite down on it with your teeth. Can't find any like it again. Same with Olivia serie V double Robusto for $5. I think it got 97 points but has never been the same since. Also, a basic Joya de Nicaragua lancero at the time could easily have been 97+. Dirt cheap but purely sensory and mind blowing.

I really enjoy the deadwood line.

My 2023 cigar was the Jaime Garcia hit my palette like no other

I love Illusione,What size do you like best or are they consistent across all the sizes?

Need to try a Rose of Sharon, it seems to be in a lot of Top lists. The Le Bijou I smoked was awful, maybe it was too fresh. I'm surprised there's no Fuente on the list.

Liga Privada #9 a daily smoke for me I loveeee that cigar

Full names of cigars on screen as you present them would be useful my friend for ordering , please , thanks for the great Videos though I’ve ordered my first 5 sampler pk from you guys thanks
