Where do I start........it's my fav manufacturer.......
Porcelain is the best Conn Shade out there.
Bishops Blend, Last Rites Petite Lancero, Killer Bee, Green Hornet.
I should mention I don't smoke fatty, fat cigars. All listed have rings under 50, which are the only ones I've smoked.

Most are great, I haven't tried the recent Bishops Blend release yet, but previous years were excellent. My personal favorites are Killer Bee and Hornet. NBK are also great. Killer Bee Connecticut and NBK Lizard King are off the hook. The recent Paper Crane was also excellent. Most of their cigars are Maduro and full-bodied.

Yet another brand I have never heard of! This place is a wealth of information.
Question for you guys that smoke so many different kinds of cigars, are you buying singles or boxes? I always bought boxes which is why I have two coolidors full of partially smoked boxes.
In hindsight I wish I had bought handfuls of each cigar instead of entire boxes (though with habanos pricing I guess I am gladd that I bought boxes of them).

Cigar Page has a lot of 5ers and 10ers sales. That way you can try a lot of different cigars before buying boxes.

we have a cigar place here in town called El Guapo's. I talked to a member, and heard that the guy carries mostly off the shelf stuff like this, things that you don't find much of anywhere. Of course, he also charges ten or more for singles to smoke there, along with a $150 annual membership fee. I could swallow the fee but he doesn't allow outside anything, and last time I heard he also charges $3 for a beer. It isn't a place for lightweights.
