Question
Hi Bill, any thoughts about the Casa Magna cigars? It is very clear that Padron is your favorite cigar brand. What would be the next ones un your list? Thanks a lot.
Daniel,
Casa Magna is made by 2 of my good friends in the industry, so I'm a little biased. Manuel Quesada and Nestor Plasencia are outstanding blenders and cigar manufacturers, and this brand has been a huge success for them. I don't typically smoke full-bodied cigars, but for smokers who enjoy strong cigars, I think Casa Magna is the best on the market. My favorite medium to full bodied cigars:
Ashton VSG
Padron 1964
La Aroma de Cuba
Cain Habano
Oliva Serie V
CAO La Traviata
El Rico Habano
La Gloria Cubana Serie N
What do you think of my list?
Bill

Expertise
I'm a fourth generation cigar maker and have spent 25+ years operating our factory as well as a mail order cigar company. I belong to cigar manufacturers associations as well as retail cigar associations so I'm usually up to date with current events relating to cigars. I've smoked the majority of brands on the market and would be happy to share my opinions of them with you. Since I live in the U.S. I have very little experience with Cuban cigars, but other than that I know a least a little bit about almost every brand of cigars on the market.
Experience
In addition to growing up in and now managing our cigar factory for 25+ years, I've spent time in many factories in Honduras, Nicaragua, The Dominican Republic and Mexico. BR>
