I'm afraid my list won't be as exotic and sophisticated as yours, but here goes:

(In no particular order)

1. Macanudo Hyde Park
2. Virtually any Cohiba
3. Gurkha with Louis VIII Cognac tip
4. Drew Estate Natural Dirt
5. Opus X

Outside of these, I typically prefer robusto sized maduros.

On a side note, I've only had 2 cigars that I didn't really enjoy at all... a cuban Montecristo :eek: and an Onyx.

Cool, especially the Opus X :rolleyes:

Probably very difficult, not to mention pricey to get Opus in The Netherlands, If I had to guess...

They're pricey and often difficult to get around me too! :D My local shops used to be "limit 1" only, but I think they have eased up a bit now.

Why the sarcasm smiley... do you not like Opus X?

Oh no, Opus X is a very nice cigar! Perhaps it's not everyone's choice but I like it... (especially Reserva D' Chateau)

No, besides some special editions they are not hard to get in the Netherlands... And indeed, for a Domenican cigar these are not cheap ;)

Two Fuentes in your TOP 5? Well, these are great cigars! The Oliva Series V Churchill Extra are good, don't know about the G Series...

The Series G is a great smoke for the money. In fact, it compares to the Hemingway series quite well at half the price. And I agree with you about the Series V. I haven't tried too many, but the ones I've had were good.

Nice list Eduard. I haven't had all the cigars on your list, but they're all accompanied by sterling reputations. I dearly enjoy the Choix Supremes, the San Cristobal el Principe is my choice in that brand.

I've had a couple Opus X, but they don't do it for me. Waaaaaaay too expensive for my blood, and even though I like strong cigars, they're too strong to enjoy.
