Re: Cigars you can't go wrong with?

Thanks for your response (and all the suggestions - I'm keeping track of those) guys!

Padron 1926 & Ashton VSGs are the two blends that I selected among the pricier cigars, I am aware that they are not for everyone's wallet.

@Martel, thanks for your kind words. Padron 2000 is a cigar I always recommend as a great price/quality ratio.

@DaBear, you summed it up very well.

@Stinky, what do you think are the blends available across a lot of cigar shops in the whole country, within a reasonable budget? I'm curious to hear your opinion as you seem to work closely with B&Ms.

For a lighter cigar, Perdomo 10th Champagne.

Brickhouse is good and fairly easy to find(in my experience) as well, though its more medium bodied

:tpd:

Since I've started smoking cigars as a hobby, I've turned three of my friends on to them with the Serie O. All three of them have gone on to try different smokes and all come back asking for another Oliva.

They aren't too strong, seem to always burn near perfectly (all of mine have anyways), and are just an all around good first experience.

Anything from DPG Black label, those are amazing

I can't get Tatuaje locally anymore, so I don't know if i'd put that for a general list

Hope this works out for you, sounds like a cool idea :tu

One of my favorite value smokes. Bought a box of robustos about 2 years ago, and I have been digging back into them now that the weather is getting colder -- too cold for the double coronas, anyway.

Other reliables at a value price:

Hemingway -- always reliable, Short Story is a good value
Padron x000 series (fan of the 5000's, myself)
Carlos Torano Exodus Gold
Tatuaje Browns (love the Unicos -- maybe too pricey)
Cabiguan Guapos Jr.
Don Tomas Sungrown Perfectos (#1, is the little guy, I think)
Oliva G special G

Re: Cigars you can't go wrong with?

Yeah, Hemingways for sure. That's a smoke with pretty broad appeal.

Cheers,

I'll toss in the Punch Punch, which I always liked and compares favorably, in my experience, with the short story.
