So I know its obvious that this is a newbie post and there are probably 500 identical topics, but I wanted to get to know a few of you guys on here and hopefully let some of you get to know me a little better. I don't really smoke that many cigars, but I've been smoking for about a year and I love cigars and like to know as much as possible about them. Since I only smoke once or twice a week, I can spoil myself some and smoke nicer cigars than I would if I had one or two every day. What I'm basically wanting to know is what premiums do I HAVE to try? Some of my favorites are Tatuaje cabinet, LGC Serie R maduro, Montecristo Afrique, PAN, Punch Rare Corojo, CAO Brazilia, Hemmingway, Avo Domaine, and Partegas Black. Also sitting in the 'dor waiting for a chance to get smoked are: Gurkha Legend Churchill, Cohiba EL 2006 pyramide, Davidoff Grand Cru no. 1, VSG, Opus X PerfeXion X, DCM Toro, Padron Serie 1926 no. 1, WOAM, & Tatuaje Noellas Reserva. Besides what I've mentioned, what am I missing out on by not trying? Thanks for the advice.

I don't know if who have had any ISOM's but a must is the Monte#2 that is just IMHO but always remember smoke what you like. :thumbs:

The only ISOM's I've had a chance to try were Cohiba Siglo's last summer, but since then the only one I've got my hands on is the EL06 that I'm sitting in the humidor for a while before I light it up. I promised myself that it had to hold off until my Vols win a National Championship. Thanks for the advice, if I ever get a reliable source if ISOM's the Monte will be at the top of my list.

Padron 64 definitely, I'm a fan of the natty but alot of guys here like the maduros
RP Vintage 92, never had a bad one yet.
La Gloria Cubana Serie R is a solid smoke as well
Oh and make sure to get your hands on an Ashton VSG very good cigar

That's one way to be sure to get some age on 'em. j/k


From what you listed, you have gotten off to a good start already.

No its all good, looks like it might be longer that I hoped, but I've worked out a 5 year plan. If we can't get one in football or basketball for 5 years I'm extending to baseball and track, if I hold off for another 5 after that all bets off and I'll celebrate anything from a championship in football to women's diving. :laugh:
 
Padilla Signature 1932 line. I "third" the La Flor Dominicana suggestion as well - all are good, but try a LFD lancero.

I'll forth, but go a step further. It seems you like darker and / or full bodied smokes, so from LFD I suggest:

LFD Ligero Oscuro Churchhill Especiales (Curlyheads)
LFD DL Chisel (Sungrowmn and Maduro)
LFD Lancero
LFD Factory Press
All LFD are great, these are just my favorite stand-outs.

Jack Schwarze has always treated me well adn has probably the best LFD selection on the net. Sometimes you can find specific items cheaper, but he's usually the best source I know.

You say you like Brazilia - Try MX2!
Sopranos and CX2 are decent but overpriced

RP Olde World Reserve

I wouldn't call the RP OWR a must try stick, atleast not anymore. Roughly 9 months ago, it would have been THE stick to try, but now the flavor is seriously lacking.

In addition to the LFD list, I would recommend the mysterio.
 
RP Fusions are good and I haven't seen them mentioned. Also, the Ashton ESGs are supposed to be really good. I have one that I haven't tried yet...
