Most of the things mentioned in this thread are not "real" nuts, they are seeds or other things. Still, I can't bring myself to choose a "real" nut because the fake nuts are so much better. Thus I choose cashew.

Tasty but overly rich (oily) to be addictive in the sense of unstoppable face stuffing. That's why pistachios win over cashews too. Plus, the shell factor adds to the ritual which is ever so important for addictions. ;)

omg, I love cashews. I went through 2lbs of them last week. An expensive habit. :Q

Pistachios and almonds are up there too. I pretty much like all nuts.

mmmm....nuts...

Wow, cashews are one of my least favorite. I did discover a product you cashew lovers may want to try. I'ts Mrs. May's Cashew Clusters. I tried them at a friend's house and really liked them. They're sold at Wal-Mart. They come in a nicely done ziplock bag. Try them, they're good!

Walnuts and Almonds are supposed to be two of the best for you. I like them both.

I like the cans of mixed nuts that I buy at specialty food stores too. The ones I get are a product of Lebanon. They're really good too!

Tell about the brands you like and stuff when you post.

The busting kind. At least, that's the most addictive. Best tasting? I have no desire to find out.

I like the mixed nuts and fancy cashews from Sam's Club, with fancy cashew's being the most addictive for me.

walnuts, cashews, pistachios, pecans, almonds, and macadamias are probably my favorites. Unsalted, unflavored.
Coconut are my favorite as far as an ingredient in meals (Thai Curries kick ass!)
