i know that this topic has been about before, but i recently changed my top three brands and i figured others probably have as well.

mine are

1) Camacho
2) La Flor Dominicana
3) AVO


honorable mention to Tatuaje and Arturo Fuente

Fuente got dropped out of the top three because LFD has made such a huge impression on me in the last few months. i have yet to smoke one that i didnt like. its nosing in on camacho. AVO is still third simply because of the lack of complexity in the Maduro. If Tatuaje keeps impressing me the way it has been then AVO may fall off the top three. ...unless they come out with an impressive limited run cigar.

Jimmy Cazares

This is tough..
Ashton (VSG probably my top 3 favorite cigars)
Fuente (including the don carlos) (GOF and Anejo make up the rest of my top 3)
Gurkha
I had to put gurkha up there because I like a lot of their blends. I have to mention Camacho and La Flore Domincana in this as well.

I agree with the Camacho raves. and the Avo, without a doubt. La Flor puts out some full bodied, full flavor, full strength cigars. I love the Double Ligero and Cameroon Cabinet #1. There has never been a Fuentes I didn't like. Any Rocky is always a winner by me.

Don Pepin, Oliva, A. Fernandez.

I need to try alot more brands. I tend to stick with what I like. I have a bunch of others I haven't tried yet but for now this is it.

La Flor would be in my top 3 simply on the strength of the Cameroon Cabinet. I also happen to really like the Ligero, Double Ligero, Limitado, Coronado and Factory Press lines. I've yet to try one of their mild-medium bodied, Conn wrapped cigars, but so far everything La Flor has been a go for me.

Don Pepin Garcia is another that makes it in there. He offers enough diversity in his blends for me to be able to appreciate them from several aspects. I think he's the best blender in the industry now.

Finally I have to put Padilla in there. Simply put, I can't get enough of the Sig. 1932 and 1948, those cigars blow me away each and every time. As of right now I'm a bit let down by the new blends, but I'll wait and see once they've really settled in.

Honorable mention goes to Perdomo, Ashton, Tatuaje, Padron and La Aurora. Any of those could likely make my top three given a slight change of tastes or preferences.

Hmmm... At the moment I would have to say:

1. Tatuaje
2. Don Pepin
3. La Flor Dominica

All 3 put out some of the best full bodied smokes on the market IMO. A close 3rd would be Ashton and 4th would have to be Oliva.
