Re: What should i buy???
Good cheapish smokes that come to my mind are the 601 Blue, Man O War, and La Gloria Cubana Serie R, Oliva's, 5 Vegas Triple-A.... TBH, the list could go on and on...
I would buy some samplers before you jump headfirst into a box purchase. Would suck to have 20 cigars that you don't like. |

Read, read and read reviews. Get some samples from B&Ms or get some 5 packs online.
Start a journal with every new cigar you try, it'll help force you to sit down and focus on the cigar. |
Re: What should i buy???
Spend some time in the review section here and on other sites. Look for cigars that you've smoked and enjoyed and then look for other reviews by the same person. There's no guarantee that you'll like the same smokes but it could give you a lead.

Re: What should i buy???
I absolutely love all things Drew Estate Liga Privada and the whole Illusione line up, both of which were already mentioned. There were many other mentions already that I agree with so I will offer a few other mentions that I smoked with great flavors that are on the more inexpensive side...
Siglo Maduro (around $6 a stick), Famous Nicaraguan Maduro (Great budget stick that you can get for $40 a bundle!), Grimalkin by Emilio (about $7.50 a stick). If nothing else....just start smoking and you will find out what you like! Enjoy! :tu |

Re: What should i buy???
One bit of advise I'd like to offer is that you should not try something new, then give up on the brand entirely if you did not enjoy that particular cigar. Remember that they are organic handmade products, and the best cigar you ever smoked may be sitting right next to the worst one you ever tried to smoke, both in the same box by the same maker, and even the same roller.
Besides, it's sort of like sex . . . you may be over- or underwhelmed with your first experience, but tastes can stabilize with repeated attempts. |

I'm looking for a good iPad app for a cigar journal because now I want to rate my cigars as they age. I reviewed a cigar this morning that has been in my humi since 2007 and I wish I had written down a little review when I smoked the first one OTT in 07 (fresh). For me, it would be interesting to see how that cigar aged over the last 5 years. |

Example. I did not care for any 5Vegas I tried until the "AAA", It was totally different from the other I tried before and I really liked it. Come to find out it's made by AJ (which I have obviously recently came to love). I have also started getting at least two of each stick to try at different times to help eliminate "a bad stick" or "bad cigar day" (Because some days I light a maduro when I really should have had a Connecticut etc. Just smoke lots. Then smoke more. |
Re: What should i buy???
I could sit here and recommend cigars all day, but it's all about preference. Go to CI and purchase a lot of samplers. That will give you a decent variety so you can decide what you like or don't like.
