@@RepublicofDebauchery That's a tough one, really depends on what I feel like smoking at the time since they're all good lol. The H 2K CT is great for a milder smoke, but you can't go wrong with the Flor de las Antillas (a very close 2nd is the Le Bijou). I've probably smoked the most of those, I really want to try the Maduro version. Right now I have 1 of each of: the Judge, La Opulencia, La Promesa, & La Gran Oferta in my humidor (and a few other MF's). Those are just the ones I havent tried yet from MF. Maybe I'll find a clear winner once I do. Do you have a favorite? My favorite brand is, and always has been, Partagas but I'm always looking for a new favorite, I don't exclusively smoke any one stogie. Had a Cortado for breakfast today, great sub $10 stick 👍
@@Stripping_Bolts Damn, you are a fan. . I haven't tried the H 2K, but that's on my list now. The new Le Bijous 100 Anos is pretty damn good. My favorite all time is Don Pepin Garcia 10th Anniversary Limited Edition 2013. I would pay $100 for another one of those right now. The 15th Anniversary Limited Edition is similar, but doesn't have that kid on Christmas morning feel. Do you smoke Dominican or Cuban Partagas?
@@RepublicofDebauchery None of my local stores carry any Don Peppin sticks but those are on my list! Just smoked the La Opulencia and was a bit disappointed tbh. Wasn't a bad smoke but the draw on mine ruined it, although the flavors were very interesting. Reminded be of a Melanio, but with some balls. I'm in the US so no Cubans for me, although I am planning a ride down to Mexico soon & will be looking for legit Lusitanias
@@Stripping_Bolts A bad draw can ruin any cigar. I hate when that happens. If you find some Lusitania's, you have to let me know how they are. I've had many Cubans, but never one of those.
Depends on the company. I would say Gurkha is 90% marketing and Padron is 10%. But yeah, I agree, the age of the founder thing is just a cheating way to put a larger number on the cigar name. That being said, I have smoked about 20 of the Le Bijou 100 years, and it is a really good cigar, I love it.
Never had a MF I didn't like
What's your favorite MF cigar?

I haven't tried any of them
I've tried the Le Bijou 100 Anos about 10 times. It's a winner. Great cigar.
I want to try that too
@@deanwellington6472 Definitely a good value.
I get that cigars are 51% marketing, but it’s a real stretch when you market a cigar after the age it’s founder WOULD have turned this year, silly

@@RepublicofDebauchery thanks for letting me know! I’ll have to try it!
