What I mean by that is have you ever smoked a cigar and thought that the maker seemed to have your tastes in mind. For me it seems the Oliva V and MOW Puro are two cigars that just fit my taste so much it was like if I were to sit down and blend a cigar it would come out tasting like each of these respectively. Especially the Puro, perfect size just the right amount of oomph and flavor, not overly complex but when I grab one I know exactly what it's going to deliver.

That's the way I feel about Punch Roths. I love them. Fortunately for me, they're also cheap.

I also enjoy many other cigars. But the Punch Roth is one that I go back to over and over and over again.

As has been said many times - smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

happens all the time for me. Usually turns out that it was a fluke and they're never the same again.

I feel that way about the Oliva G serie. I loved these way back when they were first introduced as the Grand Cameroon. Still my favorite all time cigar.

I just had one of those yesterday. I like them, but I like the O's and MB's better. The G's can sometimes be a little harsh. Although the one I had yesterday was perfect.

La Casita Criollo is a very unique tasting cigar that just clicked the first time I smoked it, as though I finally found the taste I had been searching for. I am rarely disappointed when I smoke them. I think in that sense, I consider them to be blended to my individual taste.

Lots. Pete Johnson was involved in a bunch of 'em, as has been the La Aurora factory. The Leon Jimenes Don Fernando #4 does it for me. Every. Single. Time.

Pete and Dion for me. I haven't met an illusiones that I haven't loved

Great question. The answer seems to shift over time. Right now it seems to be the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Champagn, or maybe the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real.

At least, in cigars that I can afford to smoke, otherwise my answer might be the La Aurora Preferido Connecticut Sapphire.

I'll also say that Pete and Dion have blended several cigars that to me, seem to be made perfectly what what my palate yearns for.

That said....the original unbanded LFD Cameroon Cabinet is a cigar that I can loose myself in. I absolutely love em!

I got lucky about 4 years ago or so and was able to grab 50 cabs of the #1 and #4 both at ridiculously low prices so it's nice to know I will not run out of these anytime real soon!
