Holt's has a nice Fuente sampler, and a nice Hemingway sampler. Both are listed on this page.

If you want to be introduced to something a little more on the peppery side, you could try a Don Pepin Garcia Sampler. This one by CI seems pretty nice. They have others too. You may be able to get it cheaper on cbid.

Enjoy sampling!

CAO Black
CAO Mx2
Gurkha Micro-Batch Liga TPB-1
Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Maduro
Perdomo Grand Cru
Perdomo Habano
Perdomo Patriarch

If you really want to try something new, try the ACID line, but keep these in a separate humidor from your regular cigars. ACID's are flavor infused cigars and are "said" to taint the flavor of your regular cigars.

Wow...thank you so much for the advice. I just ordered a 5 pack of the CAO Black and the Fuente Chateau maduro. I can't wait to try all of these!

Fairmont...little town right on the iowa border.

I tried a 601 blue label tonight....pretty spicy at first, then it settled down. Not the brownie flavor that was talked about...more like dark chocolate and roasted coffee bean. Very good. Very very good.

Ahhh... I was hoping maybe a little closer to me. lol

I am still trying to find an asylum smoking buddy. I am in Sioux Falls.

And currently puffing on an Alec Bradley MAXX... It's decent, but I still like the Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve more. lol
