How about buying a sampler. More bang for your buck and you get to try different smokes out. Do you like Maduro's and/or Oscura wrappers?

That's the idea. I'll be buying samplers for years.

I have not tried those yet. I'm open to anything. Flavors aren't very distinct to me just yet.

Which one on my list should I smoke tonight? Here is the majority, minus the 5 Vegas and Gurkha. Disregard the red lines.



That toro is the Cu-Avana.

Haha my review would consist of nothing more than a thumbs up or thumbs down! I'm too new to pin point any specific flavors and such.

Thanks, I will keep that in mind. Unfortunately I don't see many multi-brand samplers.

Maybe I should smoke a few first! I'm running out of room with 33 cigars in my 50ct.

First things first, make yourself a tupperdor to hold your non infused sticks for the time being so you don't have any of the infused smokes' flavors running into traditional cigars. You'll want separate humidors for infused/flavored smokes and traditional cigars.

And personally, I'd smoke the LGC Serie R, but thats because I love any good earthy sticks, especially ones with a good sweetness to them like the Serie R.

Oh, and samplers definitely, try to get a good smattering of the tried and trues(Fuente, Padron, Pepin, Rocky Patel, Oliva, etc.) and narrow down what you like best. Then start trying some of the more "boutique" blends out there based on your tastes.

I thought the same things while reading this thread, also check out the Newbie Sampler Trade, its a great way to get your hands on a nice variety of smokes

I would do the 4th of July sampler and the AJ Fernandez 5 star sampler. Right around $40. AJ Fernandez blends a very nice smoke.
