I bought a couple boxes of the La Flor Dominicas after I heard Rush talking about them a year or so ago, but they still have nothing on Fuente Opus X.

Little fancy for my blood.

I'm satisfied with my Fuente Hemingways and Partagas #10s.

Marsh Wheeling Stogies are the best.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

M. Marsh & Son Marsh Wheeling was founded by Mifflin M. Marsh in 1840. Located in Wheeling, West Virginia, it was the oldest cigar manufacturing company founded in the United States. After beginning production and sale from his home, Mr. Marsh developed the company and opened a factory first on Water Street and later on 12th Street between Water and Main. In 1908, the company opened the historic location at 905-915 Market Street. In 2001, the Wheeling plant was closed and the company was bought by National Cigar, which moved production to Frankfort, Indiana.

M. Marsh & Son is most notably remembered for the Marsh Wheeling brand of stogies. The cigar's famous box became a known staple of the tobacco industry. A box also appeared in the movie The Green Mile as the home of Mr. Jangles, a mouse kept by one of the prisoners.

"I bought a couple boxes of the La Flor Dominicas after I heard Rush talking about them a year or so ago, but they still have nothing on Fuente Opus X."

I agree. When I read the list and did not see the Opus X, and a couple entries from Rocky Patel, I knew the reviewer did not live in my Cigar world...

Novice cigar smokers will get sick on most of the listings in Adam's article.

Before the cigar boom of the 1990s, my favorites were Don Diego, Baccarat and Royal Jamaica. Royal Jamaica is defunct, but Don Diegos and Baccarats are still fine mild cigars that won't break the bank.

My current 'favorite' is the Fonseca Cedar.
