Holysmokes Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Hello All, I have around 650$ to spend on some cigars... I'm looking to buy some new brands/sizes that I've never tried. I was thinking something along these lines (i've never tried any of these, so if you have feedback let me know!) 1- Vegas Robaina Unicos - High Quality 2- Bolivar Belicosos Finos 3- H Upmann Magnum 56 I'm also considering these 1- H upmann Sir Winston 2- Cohiba BHK 52 3- Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No. 2 4- Partagas 8-9-8 Varnished Any thought or other suggestions?
bc8436 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 +1 for the Bolivar Belicoso Finos as it's a personal favorite of mine. Full-flavored cigar with a nice mixture of leather, spice and fruit.

tjhernandez34 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 To get better suggestions you should also include the flavor profile you enjoy.
Holysmokes Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 To get better suggestions you should also include the flavor profile you enjoy. Good point... I don't really have a specific flavor profile that I enjoy more. I smoke a wide range of flavors Partagas D 4/serie P No 2 Cohiba Siglo II Monte Edmundo & No. 2 El Rey Del Mundo Choix Supreme Rass Romeo Y Julietta Wide Churchill Partagas Shorts Those are all cigars that I really enjoy at the moment, If I would have to choose a fav, I guess it would be the Cohiba hay/grass/earthy taste that I prefer but not by much.
bc8436 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Would you say it's similar to the Bolivar Royal Corona? Personally, the two cigars are rather different. I found the Belicosos to be a bit more full-flavored than the RC, and that the spice/pepper notes in the RC was a bit more .... "subdued" ... which makes it more balanced of the two. Just my 2 cents.
Lotusguy Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 My money would go towards a box each of the BHK52 and the Sir Winstons but since you haven't tried anything from your list, why not get a few singles of each to find out what you like most?

I'm not into buying singles, and from what I heard, the cigars that I am considering are pretty decent/consistent. Also, I have enjoyed some of their cigars but in different sizes
Rogers72 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I'd start with the Unicos and Sir Winstons then probably grab the 898V. That should wipe the money out pretty quickly.

I'm will definitely get the VR Unicos & the Bolivar Belicosos Finos. I'm currently debating between the H Upmann mag 46 or Sir winston... I hear amazing things from both. I heard the Mag 46 are smoking fabulously at the moment... tough choice
CigarmanTim Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I would suggest if you are relatively new to stick with the milder cigars...like a BRC... I had 2 '07 BBF cabs that were dog rockets...Tastes and pallet differ. I also don't care for the Mag 46 but love Sir Winnies, Unicos and 898's. For a big smoke try the Party Lusis...beautiful. But again, one mans trash is another mans treaure...Different strokes for different folks
Puros Y Vino Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I'm not sure if you meant to write Mag 46 or Mag 50 but I'll add that both are excellent cigars. The 46 is a bit stronger and the 50 has a bit more flavour range. Both are reasonably priced so you'll get more bang for your buck.
Colt45 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 Hello All,I have around 650$ to spend on some cigars... I'm looking to buy some new brands/sizes that I've never tried.

Of the cigars listed, my top three (in no particular oder) would be: Upmann Sir Winston Upmann Mag 46 (assuming you mean the 46) Partagas 898V If you're not looking to acquire boxes, you could always buy a pretty fair number of each on your list.
tmac77 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 My choices would be: H. Upmann Sir Winston H. Upmann Mag 46 (or the 50 depending on which you meant) Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Colt's advise to get a sampler of each on your list is also a most excellent idea as it would allow you to explore the various flavour profiles of each cigar that you are interested in.
thechenman Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 My list in order would be the... 898v Mag 46 Sir Winnies
Holysmokes Posted March 16, 2011 Author Posted March 16, 2011 My list in order would be the... 898v Mag 46 Sir Winnies [/quote Very interesting, the Sir Winston are obviously a fav around here. I'm a bit surprised that most of you left out the Vegas Robaina Unicos. Oh and i meant the Mag 46
khomeinist Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I will disregard your list. Hoyo Epicure 1 Partagas 898 H Upmann #2 box of each will give you good range of sizes and flavors. VR Unicos are a favorite as well.
Habanakane21 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 More bang for your buck... 898 H upmann 46's Bolivar Belicoso's ...and can probably get these all for under $650 (75 sticks) if you go for the Behike's and Sir Win's you may be a bit over your budget with only 35 sticks. just my opinion..though...
tjhernandez34 Posted March 16, 2011 Posted March 16, 2011 I would go with the Sir Winnies and Unicos, both are amazing smokes.
bstarrs Posted March 17, 2011 Posted March 17, 2011 From what you've listed BBFs are always good and I just ordered a cab of Epi 2s myself. for some things that are not on your list I'm just going to throw the Diplomaticos No2 (my favorite cigar) and the San Cristobal El Principe (cheap and fantastic) out there as a couple of my personal suggestions.
Holysmokes Posted March 17, 2011 Author Posted March 17, 2011 Alright... here is the order I decided to go with. (one box of each) 1 Vegas Robaina Unicos HQ 2 Partagas 8-9-8 Varnished 3 Bolivar Belicosos Finos 3 pack tubes of Mag 46 3 pack tubes Siglo VI Yes, this is definitely a bit more than I wanted to spend : ) but this always happens... i'm sure everyone here can relate. They are currently out of Sir Winstons.... so that made things easier! Thanks to everyone for the help!!! Much appreciated.
