In what is the total opposite of most guys, my everyday sticks are ISOMs although they are the more affordable ones such as piedras, quinteros, fonsecas and the cheaper partagas vitolas. My "save to savor" sticks are largely Dominican and Nicaraguan With some higher end ISOMs as well. I don't...

Dissect what's left. It will tell volumes.

Good choices. Let me add Fonseca KDTs and Partagas Mille Fleurs and Piedra Cremas. In the non ISOM catagory I often smoke Padron Londres (natural or maduro)and Sanch Panza (MM-La Mancha and Feurte-Cordoba)both are less than 50 bucks before shipping

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. I will be enjoying a Fonseca Cosaco ISOM after dinner with a little Johnnie Walker Blue. I'll be bringing one of those Cosacos to give to my wife's uncle who is a cool old BOTL. He doesn't usually smoke anything fancy just a Mac-a-day for 40 years. Enjoy, everyone. :)

I had an ISOM Partagas petite corona especial then a Padron londres. Last 'gar of the day will be either a Torano 1916 or a CAO camaroon.

Rod, this really should be pinned under the coolerdor 101 thread. JMHO

I shoot for 65% for everyday smokes. My ISOMs seem to prefer closer to 60%. Whenever my humidor reaches 70% I can count on draw and burn problems.

I'm a big fan of Carlos Torano especially the 1916. It is one of my go to cigars. I am becoming very fond of camaroons in general and regularly smoke the 1916, the CAO, the H. Upmann, and a very underated stick - the Oliva Grand Camaroon.

Got em! same box code as drew_goring's.

A box of Padron Londres (just received) and a box of Partagas Petite Coronas Especials.

I got mine, one week to the day. I ordered a box of Londres and the sampler. The sampler came in a box too.
