bsmokin Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I'm a newbie and I'm looking for some advice on something to try. I have only had the following CCs, all of which are pretty much CC staples I know... but I'm looking to trying something new. I've tried montes 2 and 4, Partagas sD4, and Bolivar BFs. I really like all of these cigars... realizing that they are all fairly different. I love the earthy taste of CCs... something medium to full bodied and full flavored. Please suggest!
sepp Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Go smaller and try a number of PC/Marevas across the Brands. You will get a basic taste for each and you can try a number with out breaking the bank. Order several singles and go from there. I say smaller because 3/4 of what you have tried are big ole fatties. Good but skinny is good too! Enjoy. PLPC H Upmann PCs Party Shorts Boli PCs RASCC
khomeinist Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Ramon Allones Specially Selected Diplomaticos #2 H. Upmann Mag 46 Vegas Robaina Unicos Trinidad Robusto T that should get you going. Cheers
MIKA27 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I agree with whats already been posted. Try: - Mag 48's LE's - VR Unicos - Cohiba Siglo VI - Cohiba Secretos - Cohiba Genios - Diplomaticos 2 A mixture of short, fat, long and skinnies.
Buch0 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 I also prefer med/full body and as much flavour as possible, while remaining balanced and refined. My suggestions would be: 1. Any of Diplomaticos marque - Full of chocolate/coffee/rich earth and inexpensive. These are my number 1. 2. H Upmann Sir Winston - In my opinion the flagship of H Upmann line and one of the best cigars money can buy, coffee/nuts/cream. 3. Cohiba Robusto - IMO best robusto out there (followed closely by the trinidad) med/full bodied with wheat grass/honey/maple syrup Probably best to shoot Lisa or Rob an email an get Rob to pick out a sampler of what's smoking good.
bunburyist Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 there's so much to choose from, it might be worth concentrating on one particular size for a bit, then moving on to something else. So if you wanted to go for petit-corona to begin with: Juan Lopez Petit Corona Cohiba Siglo II Por Larranaga Petit Corona Robusto Ramon Allones Specially Selected Romeo y Julieta Short Churchill Bolivar Royal Corona Belicoso/Piramide Vegas Robaina Unicos Partagas Serie P no. 2 Montecristo no. 2 etc....etc....................................etc This list goes on and on. Pretty much all except the JLPC above is rich in flavour, although they're defo worth a look. If I was starting out again, focusing on one size at a time is probably how I'd go.
Colt45 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Do yourself a favor - acquire any / all of the Partagas Serie du Connaisseur line while you are able - they've been discontinued. I'm also a big fan of the Upmann Sir Winston, and most things Bolivar.
luv2fly Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Also may want to try Trinidad Reyes. Short smoke but one of my all time favorites.
