it's been a while (suggestions)

okay so it's been awhile since I've been able to enjoy cigar culture and I've been out of the loop. cigars brands are the same but so many new ones have come along. i need help starting back. give me one or two bucket list cigars that you think i should try. budget isn't too much of an issue as long as it's not over $500 a box. i'd very much appreciate your help and input. thanks a ton!

Ahhhh, the $499 box budget quandry

I’ve been out of the loop for awhile also Jason, I slid over the the NC purchase thread and saw a lot of tasty new smokes! May want to peruse that thread also. Unless your talking Island cigars, then I’m really out of the loop.

i'm looking for all suggestions. just a cigar or two that i MUST try. i'd like to keep it budget friendly but i'm open to the finer things as well. The NC world is so vast it's hard for me to know what is going on right now thats why i started this thread

Hello. Fuente and Padron are two brands with great consistency from year to year. If you like them now you probably still will a decade later.

I think most of what Oliva and AJ Fernandez produce are winners too.

Padron, Oliva V, and Ashton VSG are consistently great IMNSHO.
