American Spirit Periques are my poison of choice these days. Hard to find at time, but so tasty. Other than Nat's Havana Ovals, what are some other fuller cigarettes? I'd like to try some more styles.

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.

Cartier, until they stopped producing them.

Kent Blue is my preferred one now, although its been renamed Kent FUTURA for some reason. Technological advances that warrant a name change perhaps?

i wish i hadn't gotten started on the periques. i liked the mediums just fine, but now that i've been smoking the blacks i don't know if i could switch back, and i have a feeling they're going to be a lot rougher on my lungs. they really do have a much fuller/heavier taste to them that's very satisfying.
