Default what cigar should I try next

so Ive smoked about 13 cigars so far and want to know what to try next. Ive had a few acid blues of different kinds, a few nubs, 2 victor sinclair classicos, cao flavors cherry, moontrace (smoked today) and I also have a cao ellans dream to smoke. I felt the cherry was better then the moon trace but maybe it was because it was nice out the mantric was not as good on flavor and didn't light as well but it was like 30 degrees and windy out today and I was freezing lol.

I wouldn’t be able to recommend anything that is flavored, but which nubs did you try and what did you think of each? (If you remember) I think if you could answer that, it would help tell people point you in the right direction...
But I’ve heard the Macanudo Cafe referred to as a good “beginner” cigar by many...And since you are familiar with CAO, I have to recommend checking out La Traviata by them...
If you had the nub Cameroon and enjoyed that, you can’t go wrong trying an Arturo Fuente Hemingway or a Cohiba Red Dot...all very different smokes but each have a Cameroon wrapper (if I remember correctly anyway)

I have no personal experience with flavored cigars, but I do buy and send a lot of them over to our deployed military units. The most popular seems to be the coffee flavored ones.

For traditional cigars, Macanudo Court, Portifino and Hyde Park are popular (all skinny cigars), El Rey de Mundo Cafe (small), JR Ultimates, La Finca, and Padilla maduro pigtails.

I personally feel you can't go wrong with the JR Ultimates. There are probably a hundred different combinations of vitola (size/shape) and capa (wrapper leaf) to pick from. Big, small, light, dark, strong to mild, that line has just about everything. And, I've never had a bad one.

Fuente is another option, I would avoid the brevas ("It's a boy/girl/human/thing") and the curly heads, but their long filler stuff is solid. It might take a few times smoking them to "get" their higher end cigars - Hemingway, Don Carlos, Opus X, Anejo, etc.
The Anejo is probably the easiest to "understand" of the high end ones, but it's strong.

Padron, there's another company you can't go wrong with. But they are stronger.

Welcome! Good advice, above. I like the idea of the JR Ultimates. You can buy the same cigar with different wrappers and start learning about the effect that has.

BTW, the Ultimates are sold online be by JR Cigars. Not usually available in brick and mortars.

I'll second Michael and Adam's suggestion of the Fuente Hemingway line, good smooth cigar that's not overpowering in any way.

I tried a few of the infused cigars a long while back (Acid, Maker's Mark), and was not a fan, so I can't make any recommendations in that genre.

She's right, they are. But it's your money.

Default Re: what cigar should I try next

I would recommend for infused to try the Crazy Alice or Fat Bottom Betty cigars. Several coffee infused come to mind too.

For a foray into the realm of non infused Arturo Fuente connecticut wrapper or natural wrapper are good. Macanudo even the robust would be good options and anything in the Davidoff line.

I am thinking if you have had Acid with the blue band you can probably handle a medium body cigar and that opens you to brands such as Sosa, My Father, Alec Bradley, Romeo Y Juliet, and many others.

Great, yeah I’ve found that real mild cigars I struggle to get flavors out of but like the acid was full of flavor it had a nice creamy note but a pepper on the finish that I liked

If you like the Flatnead, there are many, many quality maduros that you can try. And they run the gamut from bargain-priced to ultra-premium. Some of my favorites:
601 Blue
Padron 3000 Maduro
Perdomo Lot 23 Maduro
RoMa Craft CroMagnon
Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro
HC Maduro2
Brick House Maduro
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial
L'Atelier Maduro
Ramon Bueso Genesis The Project
Oliva G Maduro

Let me know if that works and if not I got another one, that’s surprising because it works on google maps and map quest. Maybe fedex or ups if your using them dosent have it then? Really sorry about that
