Recent "Full Bodied" favorites??
Hey Guys, I've been kinda out of the loop lately.....and not able to visit here as often as I would like. Because of this I have also lost touch with all of the latest offerings and such. Heck, I didn't even know that Gael was DEAD!!
I'm sure there is a similar thread somewhere here, but didn't see exactly what I was looking for so I am asking for your input here. What would be some of your suggestions for the best "Full Bodied, spicy" smokes currently available? To give you an idea of what I like.......I like most anything blended by Pepin. I have also been very partial to the "Cain" series. I have been hooked on the "Cain Daytona" corona size in particular, although that could be due to the fact that this is the only vitola my favorite cigar shop carries at this time (he has ordered a box of the Cain F for me to try though). I like the spiciness with that background of creaminess provided by the Cain. Does everyone else here consider the Daytona to be a medium bodied smoke? I never considered it overpowering, but kinda classified it as a "low end" full bodied cigar. Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions!

I'm sitting here at DeCuba enjoying a "Cain F". I LIKE!
However I don't see where this one is that much "heavier" than the "Daytona".....or maybe it's just that the Daytona has a little more "spice"?

If you can find one called Asylum 13, check it out. It's got a nice full flavor (to me) and just the right amount of pepper. Get the robusto though, the local that sells them said they only offer it in that, a 6x60 and a 7x70. Those are really too big to be practical.

One, great to see ya stranger!
Second, I had not heard that about Gael. What happened? Regarding the cigars, I tend to only have time these days for shorter smokes and since I usually have to smoke them in a short amount of time I for the most part have steered away from stronger cigars.

Damn, I just missed out on a 10 pack of the Asylum Toro's over at Joe's ($29.99). Judging by "Joe's Daily Banter" page they went quick.
