				 What should I try next? 
 
			
			So I've been involved in this wonderful hobby since the beginning of this year, bought  some samplers, done a few trades. I'd like some suggestions on what to try next. Below are some notes on my (limited) experience. If I don't mention a vitola, it's either because I don't recall it, or enjoyed that cigar in several vitolas. I generally prefer the look and feel of a robusto or toro, although I like the SP double Maduro in La Mancha, which I guess is similar to a mini lancero?
 I have a newborn, so I won't be snagging a box of Diamond Crown anytime soon, but I like to buy singles or 5ers of the more expensive cigars here and there as a special occasion smoke.
 
 My top 2:
 Kristoff Maduro Matador - Ryan (MedicCook) suggested this to me when we herfed and I loved it! One of my special occasion smokes, and I'll probably be smoking the one I have in my humi to celebrate the birth of my son. I love the pigtail and shaggy foot.
 Bucanero Full Sail Maduro Toro - Another great stick I got from a PIF.
 
 My Go-To Smokes:
 Perdomo Slow-Aged Lot 826 Maduro Glorioso - Great golf smokes and very smooth
 Indian Tabac Super Fuerte Maduro Toro - I grab one of these when I want a little more kick than the 826
 Sancho Panza Double Maduro La Mancha - I like these as a change of pace. Good flavor, and a quicker smoke than the other two.
 
 Some others I've enjoyed:
 CAO Black, VR, and Brazilia - I found the Italia strong for the sake of being strong, but really enjoyed these 3.
 RP Vintage 90, Olde World Reserve - Either wrapper on the OWR. The 92 just didn't do it for me, but I love the 90.
 Onyx Reserve
 5 Vegas Series A - Smoked one of these OTT, and wondered what the hype was. Got suggestions here to try another after resting and really enjoyed it.
 RyJ Habana Reserve - Grabbed a mixed vitola sampler via a magazine ad and liked all of them
 Diablo - Another herf gift, very nice
 Taboo Twist, SF, and SFO - Ilve gone through a few Taboo samplers. These I enjoyed, the other blends didn't stand out for me.
 DPG Series JJ - Yum!
 
 To be continued...
