Cigars you can't go wrong with? - Page 2

I had the RyJ habana reserve for 5 or 6 dollars and it was easily one of the best smokes in the price range

Anything from DPG Black label, those are amazing

I can't get Tatuaje locally anymore, so I don't know if i'd put that for a general list

Hope this works out for you, sounds like a cool idea

Anything Viaje
Montecristo Platinum
Cohiba Black
Tatuaje Black
Fuente Short Story
Don Pepin Cuban Classic
Romeo Y Julieta Reserva Real

One of my favorite value smokes. Bought a box of robustos about 2 years ago, and I have been digging back into them now that the weather is getting colder -- too cold for the double coronas, anyway.

Other reliables at a value price:

Hemingway -- always reliable, Short Story is a good value
Padron x000 series (fan of the 5000's, myself)
Carlos Torano Exodus Gold
Tatuaje Browns (love the Unicos -- maybe too pricey)
Cabiguan Guapos Jr.
Don Tomas Sungrown Perfectos (#1, is the little guy, I think)
Oliva G special G

The cigars being suggested are largely pretty strong cigars. I agree with tem, but I wonder if you need a similar list for folks who like lighter cigars.

CigarInspector · 11-21-2010, 12:49 PM

Thanks for your response (and all the suggestions - I'm keeping track of those) guys!

Padron 1926 & Ashton VSGs are the two blends that I selected among the pricier cigars, I am aware that they are not for everyone's wallet.

@Martel, thanks for your kind words. Padron 2000 is a cigar I always recommend as a great price/quality ratio.

@DaBear, you summed it up very well.

@Stinky, what do you think are the blends available across a lot of cigar shops in the whole country, within a reasonable budget? I'm curious to hear your opinion as you seem to work closely with B&Ms.

For a lighter cigar, Perdomo 10th Champagne.

Brickhouse is good and fairly easy to find(in my experience) as well, though its more medium bodied

11-21-2010, 01:29 PM

I suggets the following to those who ask for my opinion:
Montecristo Platinum
Romeo Y Juliette 1875
Nub

11-21-2010, 04:35 PM

Padron 1964's. Any of them.

I concur. They are my current favorite.

I'll toss in the Punch Punch, which I always liked and compares favorably, in my experience, with the short story.

11-21-2010, 10:51 PM

Punch Rothschild Double Maduro has never let me down either.
