Suggestions for an everyday smoke

You can't go wrong with Perdomos and that was an excellent suggestion about the Padron 3000.

Another route is factory seconds. Alec Bradley, Perdomo and RP have 2nds that are very good and are great for when you're doing things around the house or when you're not wanting to burn a premium "banded" stick. The flavor is still the same but you just don't pay as much as the banded version due to a blemish somewhere on the sticks.

Also, I keep them on hand when I have friends over and they want to just "try" a cigar - one puff, one cough and they're done. Ever have THAT happen to you? Ergo, the 2nds.

I'm fairly new to smoking too. I have tried a lot of different maduros in the past four months and I have turned to 601 Blues as my primary smoke. Love these things!! You can often get some good deals on the internet.

Others I enjoy:

Don Pepin Garcia Blue, JJ Maduro
Tatuaje
Padron 3000
5 Vegas AAA Maduro
Diesel Unholy Cocktail
Arturo Fuente (mostly anything)

Enjoy!!

Rather than suggest an everyday smoke, I would recommend that you smoke something different every day. Your palate is evolving and buying a quantity of something that you may like today may not be what you want in six months or a year. Explore flavor profiles, manufacturers and blends. Dont limit yourself, a go to cigar can become boring.

^This. I currently only keep multiples of my favorite cigar and a couple I'm aging right now. Everything else is singles I've gotten other places, and mostly new stuff to me, just a few cigars I have in my humi I've smoked before. Trying a whole bunch of new things is fun.

This. There is enough diversity in cigars that it will take a long time to establish a favorite brand or blend. Part of the fun.
