The Viva Republicas are good cigars, but they're pretty much asskickers nicotine-wise I thought, especially for their size.

I like the mixed filler Arturo Fuente Equisitos, especially the maduro. I got some Cao Brazilia cigarillos a while back and they're good too.

I can also tell you to steer clear of the tins of Obsidian half-coronas. I bought a bunch of little cigars for quick smokes last winter and most were fine, but the Obsidians were repugnant.
