What should I try next?

Hit the text field limit in my WAP browser, so I had to start a new post.
I haven't enjoyed a really mild cigar yet. 5 Vegas Gold was like smoking air, and the few Candela/Cameroons I've tried were unimpressive.
Some cigars I'm curious about:
RP Decade, Renaissance
5 Vegas Relic, Cask Strength II
El Mejor Emerald
Gurkha - have yet to try one
Cremosa - are they really that bad?
Acid - same as above
Opus X - are they really that good?

So what am I missing out on? What should I buy next? Where are the best deals?

Taste is tase: Acids are poo-pooed here, yet they are requested by the troops. I don't like them, but that's me. I do like some of the DE Naturals, however. Never had a Cremosa, but they are a best seller in the USA- so I've read. Have been unimpressed by the Opus.

Macanudos are a very good mild cigar IMO. I also love the JR Special Jamaicans- inexpensive to boot. Temple Hall Estates is another VG smoke. There are so many, you haven't even begun to scratch the surface! Keep checking CI, Holts, Cigar.com, JR's and others for inexpensive samplers, as well as the For Sale here!

Good luck and happy smokes to you!

These got a good ceder kick and a toasty finish not bad at all for a $4 stick.

RP Decade, Renaissance: The OWR are good, not sure about this
5 Vegas Relic, Cask Strength II: I have not heard good things
El Mejor Emerald: Dont bother
Gurkha - have yet to try one: Look above
Cremosa - are they really that bad?: If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck...
Acid - same as above: The worst cigar I have ever tried, i hated ever second of it.
Opus X - are they really that good?: The only NC I enjoy, especially the Super Beli.

Good luck

I bid on some Short Stories on cbid (I believe) a while back, but they ended up going a little higher than I wanted to spend. Do you have a favorite vitola?

Yes I have. A few of the n000 series, and a 64. They were tasty!

Thanks for the reply. I'll probably still try them all. Worst case I'm out the cost of a 5er.

I just had a Short Story after dinner...I have prolly smoked 20 SS's in the last month...but my fave vitola is the Perfect Story, they are a little bit larger than the SS.
