rmill3r Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'm at a standstill as far as Cuban purchases lately. I'm still pretty new to the cigar world and I'm definitely very much new to the CC world. I've recently fallen in love, though. Singles I've had that I enjoyed: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Bolivar Belicosos Finos H. Upmann Magnum 50 H. Upmann Half Corona Partagas Short Montecristo No. 3 Por Larranaga Petit Corona Ones I've bought full boxes of: HdM Epi 2 Upmann HC Party Short PLPC Where should I go from here? I'm really enjoying the HdM Epi 2s, HUHCs, and Party Shorts, but unsure of where I want to branch out from here. I'm thinking a box of Bolivar BFs, since I don't have a full box of those, but I'd like some singles that will continue to show me some varying flavor profiles out of the ordinary. Thanks for any and all suggestions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro2486 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I notice a disturbing lack of Ramon Allones in your list, perhaps they would be worth a look 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santela Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I would suggest trying a rascc, they've been my favorite lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillys Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I would get the HQ sampler pack if still available, last year's March HQ sampler was THE best purchase I made last year, and I also think you need some RA in there, also maybe branch out in the less popular marcas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafner32 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I would search out a Connie A if possible and the HURR. Both are smoking very well. The Connie As that I have had were tremendous for such a young cigar. As for PCs, give the SCdLH El Principe and Boli PC a try, both are fantastic and have become a staple in my winter rotation.

Skyfall Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Get a sampler from Rob Also, pick up some Bolivar Petit Coronas and a Partagas Variety! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I'd check out Juan Lopez PC Quai d'Orsay Corona RyJ Exhibition #4 Upmann PC Quintero Panetela Sancho Panza belicoso San Cristobal La Fuerza plenty of unique and interesting ones to try there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMQQKIN Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 I would suggest you purchase a PSP or HQ box of Robustos (HURR or RASS) and a box of Double Coronas (HDMDC or Partagas Lusis) from our host. These combined with what you already have will give you a good selection of cigars based on the time you have to smoke. However, a sampler pack is ALWAYS a great choice when you are new to CC.

Smallclub Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You NEED something RyJ, SLR, Trinidad… and you must try the Partagas D4 and the RASS. IMHO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hohenthal Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Basically you have so far done the right thing by trying a few here and there and then go for a box of what you like - as others have suggested, the samplers are a good way to explore further and you take it from there Cheers, Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finecigar Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Try out the ERdM profile as well as Sancho Panza. Change of pace from what you are smoking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdo2110 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 RASS. There are a handful of other cigars that I could definitely recommend, but RASS seems almost a universal staple. It's a sweet, medium bodied cigar that carries some of the better traits of other brands. It's budget friendly, and if you didn't like them (which I highly doubt), they have such a huge following that I'm sure guys would trade with you so you could try something else.

liger930 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Couldn't agree more with the suggestions above. I picked up last month's may sampler. Of the 12 sticks recommended. I tried the RASS first. One word, marvelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvel79 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Like every body is mentioning You can never go wrong with Rass or RASCC. I would also recommend Juan Lopez #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subport Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Must: monte2,monte4, psd4, party lusi, punch punch, magnum46,rass, rascc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 That May sampler Rob had last month had a lot of great cigars that are smoking well right now. I would grab one of those. Partagas D4's and Punch Punch and RASS are three nice cigars smoking well right now but I am sure T least 2 of the 3 are in the sampler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafLover Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 You liked all those singlea. Is it your intention to not buy boxes of all that you liked? Buy all boxes. The only real direction is whether you should buy one box at a time or two at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommggeorge Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Try skinny and try small. Come to the dark side. You wont regret it.... Three years in and I'm starting to get irritated by all the aged Churchills and DCs I bought clutttering up my humidor. Need to make space for more lanceros, lonsdales and petit coronas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PapaDisco Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 It can be kinda fun to work your way through a specific vitola; like focus on robustos or corona grandes. Get a box of Punch Punch, MdM Epi 1, Cohiba IV, etc. Mix in anything else of course, but it is interesting and educational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
