what should my first box purchase be?

[defetis]

so ive never bought a box before, ive gotten ten at a time, but never a whole 20 or 25, im really clueless about what i would want to smoke often and the same thing. Anyone found a cigar thats a good cigar to smoke everyday or every other day? i dont have loads of money so i lookin at under $150..any ideas? :thumbs:

I don't have any idea what your likes/dislikes are, but this is a great deal on Padilla Miamis. I bought a box of the coronas. They rock.

It all depends on what you like. If there isn't one thing you are really into, spend that money on continued exploration.

You left that topic wide open... let us know what type of smoke you like and what some of your favorites are and we can try to assist you.
(For example, some feel that a bundle of Connie's are a great buy @ 1-2 bucks a piece, others prefer ISOM's, and some only smoke premium sticks)

I agree with Marcos. If there really isn't a cigar that you have smoked and right away thought "Damn I have to get a box of those", keep looking until you find it. Just my .2$

Diamond Crown or Trinidad Reyes

I figure it will be six months to a year before I buy a box.

Way too many different styles and flavors out there to sample till then.

The road to my first box purchase will be a fun one for sure.

I agree, goto Jr's or to Holts and buy some 5 packs.

I got an idea for you but it would require that when you come in the shop you acctually talk to me! I'm not going to instigate this conversation.

Too easy,

Stay away from boxes unless you really know what you like. I would buy fivers and smoke them at different times to see if you can taste the characteristics of the cigar.

Padrons are safe cigars as well as the AF 858 line, but I still wouldn't buy boxes unless I was sure what I enjoyed. Plus your palate will change over time and those cigars you thought you enjoyed become one dimensional.

 

[tigger]

Tough to argue with the sentiments above. Once you know what you really like, buy a box. Until then, keep sampling.

 

[xprinter]

Go with the 5packs and samplers, as you are the only one that knows what is a good cigar for you.

 

[Seavita]

Go to newbie sampler thread, spend the $150 there and you are almost gutranteed to get a better deal than any box you could buy.

This is the truth! Padron 2k or 3k or AF 858 maduro would be your best bet.

These are a great cigar to experiment with the benefits of aging... smoke one every 3-4 months. They are cheap too, you can find boxes in the $65 range.

A bit off topic...but so true! I always have a box ro two around. They are a great yard-gar or dog-walk gar. Because I don';t do much yardwork, and can usually talk myself into a higher end smoke for a walk with the dogs, these boxes last a long time. By the end of a box, they are smoking really nicely. I buy a new box when I finish one, and crack open the one that's been sitting.
