Suggestions needed
 
Well my 21st birthday is coming up in under a month :wo and i would like to pick up something nice to smoke. Looking to spend around $20 maybe $25 tops. I have had an opus before and have a couple in the humi so I would like something different. I generaly find myself going for med to full bodied cigars and I don't enjoy much pepper either. My list of cigars i might consider include.

1. Davidoff (not sure which one though maybe series r)
2. Tat black

Please post your suggestions and ill check them over then maybe get some votes later on after i narrow it down. Thanks everyone
Andrew

If you don't like spice I would stay away from all Tatuajes. If it were me I would be on the lookout for a AF No.77 aka "Shark".

That price range? See if you can find a Padron 40th on the outside of that range.

My :2
Illusione Holy Lance- can get them from Tampa Humidors

Diamond Crown Maximus Pyramid #3- can get from Tampa Sweethearts

Graycliff Crystal Pirate- can get from cigar.com

A wise man once told me...Get what you like!

Everyone's taste is different that's why they made so many cigars.

Oh, Have a happy birthday...Git-R-Smoked

you probably wouldn't even need to spend $20 to get something really good, unless you're in Canada. (in that case get a Cuban)

I would take your surroundings into consideration as well. Are you going out to a bar? If so I would stick to something small/medium sized. otherwise you will probably end up setting it down halfway through.

I would only get something big if you have at least 2 hours to enjoy it uninterrupted.

As far as which brand? well, you know your own tastes better than me. Maybe a full-flavored premium Dominican? They tend to be less harsh/spicy than Nicaraguans. As others have suggested, a shark or any of the Fuente anejo line would be a great choice.

Oh I know, however 90% of my cigars are under $10 so some suggestions are needed. Thanks everyone keep them coming.

Agreed. You will not regret it. A superior smoke. If you can pull off a padron 26 also.

If you never had a Davidoff, I would go for those first. Shark's you probably can't find in stores, but I'm sure you'd be able to find a few on the WTB section. Diamond Crown Maximus, good smoke but no where near the other 3.

Typically, you have to find someone who has enough in stock to part with. The store will almost certainly be cleared of them by now, and anyone who has them in stick is probably asking WAY too much for them.

Post a WTB thread and see what you can find. I would say around $12-15 a stick is a decent price and $20 is getting pretty high. Ideal of course, would be MSRP at $9.25, but that is without tax and many people pay more than few bucks a stick in tax. :tu

Whatever you choose, have a good b-day smoke! :dance:
