Back After Years - Cigar Recommendation Request

[IlmProcess]

Hello everyone,

I used to purchase and smoke frequently about 10 years ago. I came back again about 4 years ago and the habit faded again.

Well, I've started up again and the NC industry seems to have changed a lot since I last knew names, trends, and trusted cigar lines. I've spent the last few days reading a few cigar-review blogs, some of the forum, looking at the major online retailers to get a sense for new names, etc. but personal recommendations are always more helpful and help me get a more precise direction.

I little about my taste: I prefer smaller rg-cigars - petite coronas, coronas, lonsdales, lanceros - but will smoke 50 and 52 rg because this seems to be a sweet spot for many manufacturers in terms of popularity.

I used to smoke a lot of Padron Londres, Don Pepin Garcia Original and Cuban Classic, Torano 1916 Cameroon, Rocky Patel Sungrown, Oliva Serie G, V, and Master Blends III, Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte, Partagas Spanish Rosado. I didn't include non-NC's because I'm not sure of the rules.

I am wondering if you all can suggest a few of your personal favourites - especially some of the lines that have come out in the last 4 years - that might align with the tastes given above (though, yes, it is a bit wide-ranging).

I've also noticed that cigars seem to be a bit more expensive than I remember. If you can provide the bulk of your suggestions in the 4-9 dollar range, that'd be great.

Thanks,
T
