Suggestions needed

big a · 04-13-2009, 03:06 PM

Well my 21st birthday is coming up in under a month

and i would like to pick up something nice to smoke. Looking to spend around $20 maybe $25 tops. I have had an opus before and have a couple in the humi so I would like something different. I generaly find myself going for med to full bodied cigars and I don't enjoy much pepper either. My list of cigars i might consider include.

1. Davidoff (not sure which one though maybe series r)
2. Tat black

Please post your suggestions and ill check them over then maybe get some votes later on after i narrow it down. Thanks everyone

If you don't like spice I would stay away from all Tatuajes. If it were me I would be on the lookout for a AF No.77 aka "Shark".

Davidoff Millenium Blend

Try to find a Shark, that is going to be my birthday smoke.

That price range? See if you can find a Padron 40th on the outside of that range.

If you like Padron's this would be my suggestion as well.

Agreed! Any Padron Anniversary will be enjoyable.

JJG · 04-13-2009, 03:32 PM

you probably wouldn't even need to spend $20 to get something really good, unless you're in Canada. (in that case get a Cuban)

I would take your surroundings into consideration as well. Are you going out to a bar? If so I would stick to something small/medium sized. otherwise you will probably end up setting it down halfway through.

I would only get something big if you have at least 2 hours to enjoy it uninterrupted.

As far as which brand? well, you know your own tastes better than me. Maybe a full-flavored premium Dominican? They tend to be less harsh/spicy than Nicaraguans. As others have suggested, a shark or any of the Fuente anejo line would be a great choice.

My

Illusione Holy Lance- can get them from Tampa Humidors

Diamond Crown Maximus Pyramid #3- can get from Tampa Sweethearts

Graycliff Crystal Pirate- can get from cigar.com

A wise man once told me...Get what you like!

Everyone's taste is different that's why they made so many cigars.

Oh, Have a happy birthday...Git-R-Smoked

Oh I know, however 90% of my cigars are under $10 so some suggestions are needed. Thanks everyone keep them coming.

Dude,* Happy b-day, do a Partagus if you have the chance. I have some Partagus de Partagus No. 1 from 1999. If you PM me your address I'll send you a couple. Oh to be 21 again, no thanks, I like being "old". Send me your addy. Kdog

neoflex · 04-13-2009, 06:48 PM

plenty of strength but still very smooth, runs about in your price range $15-25 depending on size and most cigar shops will have some on hand.

I can pretty much guarantee you will not be disappointed with a Padron 1926

big a · 04-14-2009, 10:54 AM

Thanks everyone, I am luck to live around 4-5 really good B&Ms that have a very nice selections. I'm going make up a list and go around and see what sticks i can find. Pics to follow of my results. Maybe I'll end up with many sticks form the list

jjirons69 · 04-14-2009, 03:45 PM
