Re: Gran Habano Vintage
I had a weird taste revelation while smoking one of these the other night. I am sure it is just me but it was some what like an Antano with out the gut punch and a slight Dominican influence. YMMV.

Re: Best premium beginners cigar
+1 for Fuente and Ashton Classic. I think Oliva G or Conneticut Reserve are good choices,too. From my experience all have great consistency in constuction and flavor.:2
