For someone who smokes cigars regularly, some of the recent favorites have been: Diamond Crown Maximus No.1 Don Pepin Garcia - Black Label, Cuban Classic (as close to a Cuban as it gets) Oliva - Series S Gurkha - Master Select
Unless you travel a great deal, gettting authentic Cubans state-side is a crap shoot, at best. I get some each year through my travels or those of a buddy who goes to Spain and Brazil regularly. My last was an Upmann when I was in Jerusalem last year. As for your list, Mishon, I just had the Diamond Crown Maximus for the first time a few weeks ago. Loved the smoke (a hint of spice and fairly strong), the wrapper was beautiful, as good a smoke as I've had in a while. Have you (or anyone else reading) had the Camacho Naturals? Curious as your opinions.
