newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

i have been smoking cigars for a few years not allot maybe 7 or 8 a year until about 2 weeks ago i got into it allot more i got a humidor and have been picking up cigars at my local smokes shop but it seems like every thing i smoke taste the same for the most part just allot of pepper and a general "cigar flavor" for example i do not really care for the flavor of romeo y julieta 1875 rothchilde that type of burning pepper flavor kills it for me.

i find my self liking maduros more i had a cao maduro that i kinda liked a few days back that i got in a grab bag but my smokeshop dose not carry them anymore ,

today i smoked a davidoff millenium blend petit corona it wasent bad but was not what i thought it would be or really what i was looking for , a few hours ago i had a j. fuego gran reserva corojo #1 it started to taste better to me half way through but still not what id say i really enjoy now im smoking a montecristo vintage 1999 im about a inch and a half down and it just has a generic cigar flavor to me

i am going to twoguys tomorrow i have $40 to spend im looking for a cigar that has a rich nutty flavor or creamy and sweat , chocolaty any or all of those or even just something smooth or mellow that has no pepper in it that taste really good i have no problem spend 10 to 15 bucks on a cigar but id also wouldn't mind a recommendation for a few cheap sticks

any feedback would be really appreciated
sorry if my post is all over the place and sucks this is my first time :sh

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

If they have them I would suggest Tatuaje Corona Extra. Good flavor and not boring.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

If you are looking for creamy nutty, I would suggest a San Christobal Elegancia.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

If you're looking for mild and sweet, the Baccarrat would fit. For a great smooth cigar, I would suggest the Arturo Fuente Hemingways. Maybe a short story or best seller to try.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

I'd pick up a Padron 1964, great flavors there.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

i have a Padron 1964 anniversary in my humidor ill smoke it tomorrow :)

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

This would be my suggestion too...Classico is another good Hemingway.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

I can wrap a cigar up in some used gym socks and mail them to you for the special introductory offer price of $8.95 per cigar.

Nat Sherman Host series. Sweet tip, creamy and very smooth.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

The Undercrowns are great and won't break the bank. A little spicy, but can get pretty sweet and a little nutty. Definitely creamy smoke. I will also heartily second the Arturo fuente Hemingway.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick

Not a great example of brotherhood Adam even if he did spell a word wrong.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Based on the description of the flavor profile you are looking for, I would recommend any of the Padron sticks. To me, they lack the pepper blast that I also do not care for. Have fun in the quest!

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 or 1992 are on the maduro side, are sweet and chocolatey, and don't have the pepper blasts.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

You're right Dave, it was late, I was tired...


FREE gym sock sweat infused cigars!

;s




On a serious note, when I hear "nutty" & "creamy" together for a cigar, the Avo XO (orange band / tubes) immediately comes to mind. Those cigars are a progression of distinct nutty flavor changes as they burn down. If you are looking for creamier, go with the Intermezzo (robusto), nuttier, the Maestro (churchill).

Now this is helpful information :tu

And me,I'm a prick and I know it ;)

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

I had a Macanudo the other day, it was smooth and creamy..................might be worth a try.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

These are great suggestions! I would add the Padron x000 series as well.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

A lot of great replies so far, another one I would add for mild, creamy and a touch of sweet is the Diamondback. I would also ask for suggestions based on your criteria from the folks at TwoGuys, I'm sure they could point you in the right direction.:D

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

I never viewed your comment as "being a prick" Dave.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

thank you for the suggestion Jamie it was perfect

i bought a Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 robusto and just got done smoking it !!WOW!! that was a step in the right direction i loved it id give it a 8 out of 10 i shared it with my mother who after smelling it had to try it,she is now a cigar smoker because of it :) i liked it so much i smoked it down to half an inch until i had to put it down because it was burning my lips.

i smoked my Padron 1964 Anniversary Corona after lunch it was good it was a interesting smoke but not really what i am looking for at this time

i also picked up a Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic that i plan to smoke tomorrow

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Looks like you just got that little nudge down the slope:r:r:r:r

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Just my $0.02... I agree with all the AF Hemingway comments. Those are great. For maduro, I keep coming back to the 601 blue. I have only been smoking about a stick per day this summer and the search to find the ones I like has been awesome. Thanks mostly to the guys in this forum for their reviews and opinions.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Hmmmm, good suggestions so far. Cabaiguan is another good one. Perdomo Lot 23 is a nice mild-medium cigar I think goes well with coffee.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

I second the Lot 23's, a good medium very tasty smoke.

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Classic was pretty good i picked up a short story last night will smoke it today

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
 

Definitely anything Arturo Fuente. Natural, maduro, cameroon(which of course is what the entire Hemingway line is I'm pretty sure), even the sungrown which isn't MY favorite but still a good smoke. Oliva Connecticut and G Serie are good starter sticks I believe. Can't think of any other maduros though. I enjoy La Aroma De Cuba quite often, not positive its a maduro though.
