Strongest cigar you've ever smoked

Just a noob and have smoked about 30 different brands....The partagas black kicked my butt....reviews said it leaves a nice peppery taste on the palette, ya right, the pepper must have been Habineros...but the Camancho Triple maduro is my favorite so far...I guess everyone has a different outlook. :2
 
I finally got to smoking a Taboo Special Forces Original and it definitely has to go on this list. Damn, it's even hard to type this. I decided not to nub it because I could tell it was building up in me. It tasted great all the way through.
 
Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Consul only cigar to make me nod out while still smoking it. :tu Don't smoke these in the sun...
 
Duhman, Yes, still have a RYJ Nazareth's left, started to smoke it few days ago before realizing what cigar it is. Couple hits and butted to finish at more appropriate time. About ready to torch it now, don't believe butting it did anything to enhance its flavor. :ss

There is probably info on the stick somewhere in cyber space but I have not been able to find it. Goggle got me to couple cigar forums where the writers described the Nazareth's as one of their favorites, it was not a review and their comments were written in 02, and 05. The cigar must have been setting in my humi for years, think I will pull contents out and dust out cobwebs. Intend to purchase the RYJ Viejo, or Aniversario to determine if decent substitute, along with the Joya de Nicaragua Antaño 1970 Consul. Just rec'd Camacho triple thanks to ML1980 on first PIF exchange. May get brave and pick up the JDN then go on a binge . :ss:ss:ss :sleep:
 
This thread is on the fifth page and no one has mentioned an RP Edge!?! Man oh man, I smoked one while playing mini-golf w/ the kids and it nearly knocked me off my feet (I still won the game though, I always beat my wife. The kids are still no challenge, yet). Edge Maduro Torpedo. For serious smokers only.:w
 
Gran Habano Corojo #5. Tried to stand up quickly after nubbing it and almost went down in a heap. Got my wits about me and crawled to the computer.....and ordered a box. I'm a masochist!

A private blend for a B&M in Beverly Hills called "Nazereth's". No wonder it was hard to find.
 
One of the strongest cigars I've had, was the "Sancho Panza Double Maduro."
I liked the Maduro, but when i tried the double maduro, i think i almost passed out. It was REALLY REALLY HOT. And very spicy. Very good, but very spicy. weird, because it had a sort of earthy spice.

So, if you are in to strong, spicy cigars on the cheap, I would suggest this guy. $2.65 for a 30-40 minute cigar that is stronger than all get out? Sign me up!!!
 
Duhman, thanks for the source.:tu That's interesting,' The migration of the RYJ Nazareth'. I purchased them from local B&M, who always kept a large supply on hand. Wonder how the cigar made it further up the coast, next time I am in the area intend checking w/ the B&M and ask.
 
Punch Royal n0. 12 isom. Not sure if it was my light lunch or what but that thing as a knee knocker for me. I love Camacho's and a couple other full bodied smokes but they didn't seem to have anything on the no 12.
 
La Vieja Habana - The Early Years wavelle deluxe

[FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif]Can't believe no one has said this one yet. Not real strong in taste, but if you try it on an empty stomach and try smoking it fast It will knock ya on your a$$.[/FONT]
 
LFD Chisel and Partagas ISOM. I smoked these back-to-back one time and felt like crap afterward.

Ok, when it comes to "power", the bar just seems to be getting higher and higher. Seems to me cigar manufacturers are taking a cue from Gillette: First there was one blade, then two, then three... well, you get the point: ligero, double ligero, triple ligero...

That said, what's the strongest cigar you've ever smoked? No qualifiers: You needn't have enjoyed it, or even finished it. I'm just curious as to what qualifies as a powerful cigar in these forums (which comprise seasoned veterans not easily given to light-headedness or spinning stomachs).

For me, it was a La Flor Dominicana double ligero I smoked several years ago... I forgot the size but I'm thinking a fat coronoa, about a 56 ring guage. Turned green while watching a football game, and swore off them (for frame of reference: my favorite smokes are VSGs, Anejos, and authentic Partagas).

Look forward to hearing about the smoke that almost got the best of you.

Im fairly new to cigars, but i bought a $50 Opus X Perfexion No. 2. It was the most amaizing cigar ever. I completely swear by them. Awesome consistent flavor of coffee and leather throught with some hints of apple. I forgot if it was me, but everything was spinning when I was done with it!
You should smoke one sometime.
 
I was in Vietnam 1964 as a Infantry advisor to RVN Ranger Bn....while in a small hamlet, the village chief who was about 80 years old noticed I was smoking a cigar. He was also smoking a cigar (I think)!!! Anyway he wanted me to trade with him.....My Captain said you better make that trade or you might get your throat cut tonite!!! The end of his cigar was chewed all to hell and this guy's teeth was every color in the book...not to lose face, I traded cigars....Man, that thing must have made with Water Buffalo dung and wrapped with a burned banana leaf...I'm trying my best to smile and asked him if had a box he could spare, I'm glad he did'nt. He really loved that Dutch Master and we laughed for two days over that one....

I definetly have... Opus has a nice punch to it, but for some reason I never find them overpowering. LFD, however, is another story. Looking forward to trying a Coronado double coronoa this weekend.
