Do you mouth smoke or nose smoke? The reason I ask is that a lot of cigars give up flavors and nuance that you can't experience if you're mouth smoking. Guys need to know that to make suggestions.
What have you smoked that you liked? That's another biggie. It allows guys to tell you about similar cigars.

With zero input, I'd suggest you try anything Fuente, anything Padron, maybe Cusano, Punch, Torano, anything with a pretty band, or anything that smells nice to you. Don't pay a lot, stay under 6 or 7 bucks.

Check back in later and ask the same question, but give the guys some input. They'll help. Go find the NST (noob sampler trade) here and get involved, and take a look at the smokes the noobs are enjoying.
Have fun, brother!!!
Scott is wise

Nope you did not miss anything Scott. I simply see this as a plea for cigars, hence the thread title. No input on taste preferences or effort to find the information on his own. There are dozens and dozens of threads on recommended cigars based upon smokers taste preferences. Even knowing someones flavor preferences will still get so many varied answers that they will be of little help. Simply checking around a bit based on his personal experiences will yield more cigars than one could imagine. As you know taste and preferences evolve over time, this is a journey every one takes.

Sorry if I offended but its tiring to see these type of posts day after day.

My humi isn't fully empty. I have plenty of VS in there, Some 8 inch suckers.. Still trying those for the first time.

I am keeping track of the cigars I am having with a cigar app on my HTC.

Some brands I like.. I liked most of the Alec Bradley I have tried, Harvest selction, SCR, Prensado.

Gurkha Park ave. I liked that.. so far that is the only Gurkha i liked
Nica Libre 1990 is good. I can smoke that alot.


Ones I want to try/on my list are; Punch(never), more Carlos Torano(few, can't remember which), Rocky Patel(only had the R4. Cant find a decent sampler, http://www.thompsoncigar.com/product...ts?cm_vc=10572 have only had the decade in there), Padron(same, can't find a good sampler to try most of them), Perdomo.(I have only had the Lot 23, i think), Padilla(never), Gurkha Empire(Good sampler from CI), Pinar Del Rio(never).

That is a lot to try, So I still have plenty to do. I am looking for good prices and decent amount. I dont want to spend alot (which i know i will have to) and end up not liking them and being stuck with a few. I can always bomb some people. I haven't been here long enough to see who likes what or even have addresses.

I haven't had a 5 Vegas that I even would recommend to anyone.

There was a bunch I have tried from another site in a newb trade, But I didn't keep track like I am now.
