[IlmProcess]

Thanks everyone for the information and recommendations.

There are a good many lines that seem to only roll 52+. In the past I felt that smaller rg cigars burned a bit warmer and had a more accented flavour than others - but I could be incorrect about that. I also tend to have trouble keeping larger rg cigars burning straight - any tips, or is that just how it goes if you are a slower and lighter smoker?

Also, most of the cigars recommended and most that I've read about seem to be in the 7-10 dollar range. Are there any decent cigars under 5 dollars anymore, or has the standard cost risen across the board?

I wanted to share the list I've compiled - many from the recommendations above - and some from a day or two of reading cigar blogs and reviews.

If any of you have highlights or cigars you absolutely can't stand in the list, I'm open to listening - of course everyone's taste is different, so that's factored in.

I really enjoy the cherry and raisin flavours I get out of some cigars. If some of you have experience with those flavours in some of the list below, I'll bump them on the priority list.

Thanks again and I hope the list below is useful for folks:
