Looking forward to getting my hands on a few Cubans at Thanksgiving. Can anyone recommend some specific brands?

I definitely like full flavored Maduros like La Flor Dominicano double Ligero, most Ghurkas, and Diesels.

Good thread!

Acid Kuba Kuba Maduro is a good smoke too.

Heh.. well, to be picky, none of those are Cubans since Cuban cigars are not allowed in the US due to the embargo on Cuba.

However, if you want something really spicy and full, try a Cu-Avana Punisher. Hands down the spiciest and fullest cigar I've ever had (my lips even burned like after spicy wings! http://www.cigarsinternational.com/c...vana-punisher/ )

Recently, I had a Tatuaje Cojonu 2012 Capa Especial and that was pretty good. Actually any of the Tatuaje's are good as are the Asylum 13s.

No, these are not Cubans, these are just a few I enjoy here at home. I'm heading to Canada at Thanksgiving and thought I'd do a bit of cigar shopping.

But I will check out one of my favorite shops here in Nashville and see if they have the cigars you mentioned above.

Ah.. in that case... Romeo y Julieta Robusto is a really nice Cuban make. Cohiba is also a good as are H. Upmann and Davidoff. Which province?

You may already know this but just in case: Ontario carries a very high sales tax on all tobacco products. A decent sized Cuban (Robusto) will probably run you $45-60 per stick. Additionally, you will not be allowed to touch or see the cigar until you purchase it. I'd highly recommend avoiding the corner store (e.g., Mac's Milk, 7-Eleven, etc.) as places to get these and go to a cigar or pipe store.

At the very least the quality will be better and they can help you make a decision based on budget.

I've checked out a few cigar shops there. Wow! I had NO idea cigars were that crazy expensive there! Sheesh! Well, I'll most likely be sticking a few of my stand-bus in my boots! . Thanks for the heads up.
