Cigars and Knives: do they go together? What's your favorite cigar?

I've been smoking cigars for about 20 years now. My top 3:
1. Padron 3000 maduro
2. A.F. Hemingway Short Story
3. El Rico Habano maduro torpedo
 
I've never smoked a pipe, cigar or cigarette. I would think that a Xikar cigar cutter would go best with a cigar :D .
 
I like padron anniversary, acid 5, room 101, kristoff maduro churchill, and acid blondies when I don't have alot of time for a smoke
 
Drew estate LIga Privada No 9 Escuro

but since those are stupidly hard to get my budget smoke is the CAO MX2
 
Overall, I have to say that the Fuente line is one that I have rarely had a bad cigar in; however, I have to say that I am not a fan of the Opus X. I prefer the Anejo, which is similar to the Opus X with a different wrapper.
 
I smoke 2-4 cigars a week and prefer cigars from Arturo Fuente. Lately my favorites are:

Hemingway Work of Art Maduro
Don Carlos #2
Fuente Double Chateau Maduro - inexpensive and very good

I could be persuaded to add Hemingway Classic Maduro to the humidor.

Kristoff Ligero Maduro - ALL TIME FAVORITE!
Don Pepin Garcia Black (Pretty much any Don Pepin Garcia will be good)
Tatuaje Miami
Tatuaje Fausto
La Reloba Sumatra & Mexico Seleccion (Excellent and relatively lower priced)

Wow, lots of cigar smokers. In my humidor, some of my favorites are Padron serie 1926, Rocky Patel vintage 1999, Hemingway short story, Origin and of course, the Rocky Patel Chicago Reserve Torpedo. My absolute favorite, only available at one place in Chicago. Here are some pics. Sorry, no knife content, my other obsession are watches.

I enjoy a Henri Winterman corona with some home brew coffee (truth be told I change my coffee tastes as often as I change my G-mail accounts)
 
My usual favorite is a Romeo Y Julieta from DR, however, while I'm deployed in Iraq, my favorites are Romeo Y Julieta from Cuba I also have a Monte Cristo from Cuba waiting for a good evening. Any other Cohiba suggestions?
 
I smoke a stogie ocassionally. My top three at this time are.

1. Perdomo 2 (squared)
2. Rocky Patel Edge
3. CAO Brazilia
 
I have a well-stocked humidor full of good Cubans (they're legal here). :) My favorites include Partagas 8-9-8s and Cuaba Exclusivos. I just clipped the cap off a Flor de Filipinas Reserva Fina petit tubo (a Filipino cigar). Tobacco was brought to the Philippines from Cuba during Spanish rule, so it's all Cuban seed tobacco.
 
My brother gave me a few cigars when he was out here, fair exchange for a bottle of single malt. I've fallen in love with the Oliva Series V Torpedo. I've gotten a 5 pack of the Series V Figurado but haven't smoked one yet.

Another recommendation was Nubs, a pretty funny name but apt. I got a few of the Madura 64s and for a short smoke they're pretty good.
