Ok,Help a newbie put a sampler together.

dragnframe · 02-12-2013, 04:53 PM

Its me again the newbie with 0 knowledge in the cigar world. I have been reading and looking all around this great site and feel it would be best left in the experts hands.

I am waiting on my humidor to arrive late this week or early next week.
I went to my local smoke shop and picked up 5 cigars based on what they thought where good ones. I have only had one and the others are sitting in my buddys humidor and I am already looking into getting more. I want to see if you guys will give me your top 5 mild-medium cigars. I know opinion will vary,but it will give me a list to pick from when I go to put another order in.

Thanks for the help.

san lotano habano for me is a good stick and I'm new as well, it's a medium / mild stick and it's not an expensive cigar either, I think I picked them up for $7 each

dragnframe · 02-12-2013, 05:16 PM

Thanks guys, Keep them coming. This list is also going to help me out alot.

Avo Classics and Signatures
AF Hemingways
Illusione Epernays
Ashton Classics
EPC Core Lines
EPC Short Run NWC 2012s
Tat El Triunfadors

Though most of all, I'd suggest getting involved in the NST. Its a great way to get a sampling of whats out there.

I took your question to mean mild, medium, or anyting in between:

Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story (Med.)
Padron 2000 Natural (Med.)
Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 (Mild-Med.)
Berger & Argenti Mooch (Mild-Med.)
Cuenca y Blanco (Med.)
Oliva Serie O Habano (Med.)

Hope this helps, and have fun in your discovery of the many cigars available.

Here are some great cigars available at practically every B&M I've ever been in.

Oliva V (My go-to when I'm at a B&M and just want a good smoke.)
AF Hemingway (I like the short stories best but they're all good)
LGC Serie R (Great Maduro)
Padron 1964 Anniversary (Expensive but incredibly worth it)
Ashton VSG (Also expensive, but better than the ESG, which is really expensive.)

dragnframe · 02-12-2013, 05:23 PM

Yea DaBear, I am looking into that now.

Don't forget he uses his back-up range rover as a humidor, money is no object

Hahahah, I could only wish money was no object!

AdamJoshua · 02-12-2013, 08:51 PM

I actually like the Davidoff 2000 as well, more of a mild stick, don't want to say it's like a CC but it's got a good taste.
