recommend me a cigar

ZachF88 · 01-06-2010, 02:49 PM

Well, I'm still a newby when it comes to cigars. Padrons are by far my favourite, but I want to explore some other brands. I don't like a lot of spice and i'm a mild to medium type of guy. Love the sweet and the nutty/chocolate/cocoa flavours. So please recommend me some CC and non-CC's!

Tough to beat a Padron for that flavor profile. I like the x000 maduros and any of the Anniversaries. 26,64,45th are all great smokes. For spicier stuff try some Pepin blends or La Flor Dominicana's. The Camacho Triple maduro will also have that full chocolatey profile with some spice.

One of my top 5 favorites!!

Try a Taboo twist they are a nice mild smoke.

dannysguitar · 01-06-2010, 03:08 PM

Cremosa?

rizzle · 01-06-2010, 03:37 PM

Oliva Serie G maduro might fit the bill.

Knip23 · 01-06-2010, 03:44 PM

Try the Romeo Y Julieta Love story Maduro. It should do the trick and if not try and NUB Habano very very tasty cigar

Try the Diesel. You'll love it 1 too!

I am newbie too and I have similar taste. A cigar I liked very much Alec Bradley Tempus (the one I tried was Toro or Corona Grande)

cigarlvr · 01-06-2010, 07:46 PM

Try the Taboo LR Havana Robusto great smoke and great flavor for the price

smokin5 · 01-06-2010, 08:18 PM

Some good medium-strength smokes that might fit your stated profile:
Padilla Hybrid
Padilla 1948
Romeo y Julieta Habano Reserve
Perdomo Lot 23
Perdomo Slow-Aged Lot 826
Gurkha Regent
Cuban Crafters Cabinet Selection Maduro
La Vieja Habana Cameroon
Punch
Partagas

Subvet642 · 01-07-2010, 06:41 AM

In that flavor profile, I'd recommend Don Diego.

elderboy02 · 01-07-2010, 06:49 AM

Oliva Serie O Natural
Taboo Twist

NCRadioMan · 01-07-2010, 06:50 AM

Any Torano.

get the aniversario series...

Based on the mild to med and chocolate/cocao tones your looking for in no particular order and not saying they are all easy to find.

1. ERDM Choix (cc)
2. Oliva O Bold/Clasic maduros (blue bands, discontinued)
3. Padilla Burberry (Artisan) (hard to get/find but exactly what your describing)
4. Sol Cubano Artisan - close match
5. Taboo Twist
6. RP Sumatra (discontinued but can still be found in some B&Ms)
7. Oliva G Maduro
8. Oynx Reserve (possibly)

Unfortuantly I have a bad habit for falling for discontinued cigars, but damn they are tasty. I would also check out Don Fernando's (Ferd) blog on cigar reviews. Don has a great affinity for pulling out the cacao flavors. I do not have his blog site to pass on though.

Where can you get Taboo Cigars? Do B&M's carry them?
