Default Thoughts on some cigars I bought today?

So I'm still totally new to all this, and I'd love to hear your opinions on a few cigars I got this morning, since I don't know a whole lot about such things.

CAO Criollo Bomba
CAO CX2 Toro
CAO Gold Churchill
CAO L'Anniversaire Cameroon Belicoso
CAO L'Anniversaire Maduro Belicoso
Coronado by La Flor Dominicana Maduro Corona Especial
Illusione 4/2 G Churchill
Oliva Serie G Maduro Churchill
Oliva Serie O Robusto
Padron 45th Anniversary Family Reserve 1964 Maduro
Padron 40th Anniversary 1926 Maduro

Thank you in advance for any input!

Very nice.
I wouldn't turn a single one of those down!
All the way from mild (CAO Gold) to fuller bodied (Tatuaje and Illusione).
That oughtta provide a few days worth of pleasurable exploring.

Looks like a nice selection.


Hope that you find that 45th to be a nice cigar because I have heard they are really not worth the price tag.

I like your Padron taste Amy, and you also cannot go wrong with any Tats, but I think you meant Cojonu.

Not a fan of CAO, but hey you smoke what you like! Good selection Amy.

Excellent variety!

I am a fan of the Padrons, Tats, and Illusiones especially. The CAOs are quality smokes as well.

How did you put your list together?

All good! The only way you'll find what you like is to try different smokes. Taste is, after all, taste- and what one person thinks is God's gift to the cigar smoking world another will flush down the toilet in disgust.

So, good start- and keep on trying different cigars!

When I read the title to this and the name of the poster I immediately thought my wife had joined the forum.

Glad to see it's not her!

BTW- Nice selection of cigars!

That's a very nice, eclectic, list of smokes to try.

I hope you find a CAO that you like. There are certainly
plenty of blends to try from CAO. My fav is the Brazilia.

Let us know which ones you like the most. My bet is
on the Padrons. They're great!

Try other brands, too, as time passes.

Very nice seleccion, Amy!!
You've covered the spectrum, from the mild and creamy CAO Gold, to the more full body Tat.
My favorite's on your list are the:
-Illusione ~4/2g~ (my favorite Illusione)
-Tat Cojono
-CAO Maduro
-Padron (can never go wrong with a Padron)

Very nice
