Very nice.
I wouldn't turn a single one of those down!
All the way from mild (CAO Gold) to fuller bodied (Tatuaje and Illusione).
That oughtta provide a few days worth of pleasurable exploring.

Looks like a nice selection. :tu


Hope that you find that 45th to be a nice cigar because I have heard they are really not worth the price tag. :hm

I like your Padron taste Amy, and you also cannot go wrong with any Tats, but I think you meant Cojonu. :tu

Not a fan of CAO, but hey you smoke what you like! Good selection Amy.

Excellent variety!

I am a fan of the Padrons, Tats, and Illusiones especially. The CAOs are quality smokes as well.

How did you put your list together? :tu

All good! The only way you'll find what you like is to try different smokes. Taste is, after all, taste- and what one person thinks is God's gift to the cigar smoking world another will flush down the toilet in disgust.

So, good start- and keep on trying different cigars!

When I read the title to this and the name of the poster I immediately thought my wife had joined the forum. :(

Glad to see it's not her! :r

BTW- Nice selection of cigars! :tu

That's a very nice, eclectic, list of smokes to try.

I hope you find a CAO that you like. There are certainly
plenty of blends to try from CAO. My fav is the Brazilia.

Let us know which ones you like the most. My bet is
on the Padrons. They're great!

Try other brands, too, as time passes.

Very nice seleccion, Amy!!
You've covered the spectrum, from the mild and creamy CAO Gold, to the more full body Tat.
My favorite's on your list are the:
-Illusione ~4/2g~ (my favorite Illusione)
-Tat Cojono
-CAO Maduro
-Padron (can never go wrong with a Padron)

Very nice

+1 on everything everyone else said.

Except you'll hate the 45th Family Reserve so send it to me and I'll take care of it ;)

Seriously thought, great pick-up!

Not a loser in the bunch. What matters is how you like them and the enjoyment you derive from those brands. I have smoked all of them and think you have a good cross section of quality cigars. Would like to see you review some of the ones you liked best.
