What should i buy???

[RichieBklyn]

I am most interested in FLAVOR. Pepper, coffee etc, I want to taste it all! What are you guys smoking that you feel is very flavorfull. At this time in my smoking experience I am willing to pay between $5 to $8 bucks a stick. Also where are you buying these flavorfull sticks? And lastly where do you find out that a cigar sounds like it is for you, before you buy one. I have recently been watching the video reviews on cigar websites and that has proven to be a good start. I like med-full bodied cigars on the longer side, I know that s what she said...
thanks form taking the time.

Some olf my favorite sites are:

Holts
Tampasweethearts
Duke City

Flavor bombs I have enjoyed recently include cigars from Esencia, the Illusione lines, Don Pepin Blue Labels, Cain Daytonas, Liga Privadas.

Always dig the Fuentes....Hemingway line, Anejos, Opus....though the latter two will likely cost more than $8 a stick.

Thanks for the start Ice...

Can't go wrong with Undercrowns or 601 maduro. Both right around your price point, also I love K.A. Kendall's 7-20-4,

Atlantic, new Havana, and CI for some decent samplers.

Thanks ooo, CI has been my new credit card filler! TY...

This.

I would add Diesel Unholy Cocktail as a great full flavored budget stick.

I'd suggest the Don Pepin Black Label (Cuban Classic) along with the ones others suggested. They're on sale a lot, I'd suggest trying Atlantic Cigar.

My trip to the local shop is where I like to grab some time from the guy who works there. I tell him that I smoked this or that and liked certain aspects, or disliked certain aspects, and that I would like to spend X. He in turn starts walking around the humidor and recommending to me what he thinks I might like. These hunting visits usually last longer than I intended, but Matt never makes me feel rushed, but if he needs to take care of business he will excuse himself and then come back when available.

My point is that visiting a local shop can be a great experience in getting recommendations. I do my share of checking out blogs for reviews and such, but the shop visit is where I come out with things that I had not even thought about.

601 Blues, LP Undercrowns, EO Murcielago's, maybe Kristoff Maduro's and DPG Blue labels are all well in your price range and some of my favorite sticks with that flavor profile. They all are very well made, and toe the line intermingling pepper, cocoa and coffee with perfection!

Ligero? I wouldn't recommend one of the strongest, full bodied cigars that blast you with pepper like an LAPD SWAT team obsticle course to the novice smoker.....

[maninblack]

I agree with the 601 blues or greens, DPG maduro's, Cain Daytona's, Oliva's, Undercrown's, LP's.....I could go on and on and on.

Quesada Espana....Wonderful, flavorful cigar

Don't know if this would be off of your flavor profile, but for some cocoa with your coffee, try any Padron, especially the maduro. A Padron 3000 maduro will only cost you about $6.00. You can find these online everywhere and in every shop.

Also, for some interesting flavors, consider a Viaje, either the Oro or Platino line. To me, the Oro tends to be a bit stronger. You can pick up either in the robusto size for about $8.00. Atlantic usually has a pretty good selection. I wish I could describe the melding of flavors I get off of these, but the term "mediterranean" comes to mind, like nutmeg, cinnamon, anise. At least IMO.

I should add that I wouldn't consider Viaje's to be "beginner" smokes, but hey, you never know until you try!! Happy Hunting!

Agreed about Padron x000 maduro's, they are always delicious and smoke so consistent! Relatively inexpensive as well.
