I have recently moved to more full bodies smokes and have thoroughly enjoyed some maduro's that I have treid. So far I have had a 5 Vegas Gold Maduro, a Padron (not sure on the number) Maduro, and a La Traviata Maduro. The Padron was a bit strong for me but the others were great. So, any recommendations given that information? Thanks guys!

If you want more full bodied smokes, look at the blend, not just the wrapper.

Example: 5 Vegas maduro is a mild/meduim cigar. The Padron madruo is full. The difference is on the inside of the cigar.

Mac, where art thou?..........:-)
[Reply]

Agreed. I guess the fact that I have been smoking more full bodied smokes than I was accustomed to is irrelevent here. :-) I am looking for Maduro recommendations in the medium-medium full range.

I looked at the linked thread and didn't see Oliva V maduro or Liga 9 (maybe I missed them). They are my two favorite maduros. I don't know how they compare in strength to the padron but they are full bodied. I also love the Kristoff maduro that's mentioned there which is a med. And Kristoff makes an excellent ligero maduro which is a little stronger.

Yeah I have been warned that they are pretty strong. Everytime I walk into my local B&M I contemplate buying one but always put it back on the shelf. I don't want to smoke $10+ stick and not fully enjoy it. That is why the Anejo has been resting in my humi for a while now (I have been warned about those too). I don't think my I'm ready for all that just yet.

601 Blues!!! And A. Turrent Triple Plays are great also.
[Reply]

Boy I have never had one, but I never STOP hearing about those 601 Blues....Are they in that profile,
medium to Med-full? Obviously not a mooch, I can't smoke what I have, but man, they never stop talking
about em.

I've heard great things about the Tampa Sweetheart 500 maduro. The 500's have been on my list for a long time. Don't know why I haven't bought any yet.
