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 |

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

You're right Dave, it was late, I was tired... FREE gym sock sweat infused cigars! 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). |

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.

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
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!

Re: newish smoker trying to find a stick
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 or 1992 are on the maduro side, are sweet and chocolatey, and don't have the pepper blasts.
