earthson Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 I notice a disturbing lack of Ramon Allones in your list, perhaps they would be worth a look Sssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armaniac Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Can't go wrong with RASS, JL #2, Punch Punch and SLR Serie A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StingMeadery Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 A good Cohiba Siglo VI and. Behike 54 will hold you in good stead. Feeling adventurous try a Dip2, H Upmann2 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainQuintero Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 You NEED something RyJ, SLR, Trinidad… and you must try the Partagas D4 and the RASS. IMHO My first D4 was from this years blind tasting :S 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmill3r Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 You NEED something RyJ, SLR, Trinidad… and you must try the Partagas D4 and the RASS. IMHO I've been wanting to try something from RyJ. I've only ever had NC RyJs and they were awful, but I assume CC RyJs are much better. Any suggestion on a vitola? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmill3r Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I'm thinking it's clearly time I gave in to all the peer pressure and try RA . . . not sure if I should go for the Special Select or Small Club Corona, though. Also, I like the idea of one of Rob's HQ samplers. I'll wait and see what the new one is like and might consider that. Also, also, if anyone is stumbling across this thread again, I want to get myself something nice for my birthday which is in a month or so. I'm thinking either a really nice single of something or a 10-count box of something nice any suggestions there? Just to give you an idea of my price range, I can't afford something like Behikes. Those are simply too much for me, although I could probably splurge on a single. I guess what I'm saying is what is your special occasion cuban?

What I did finally and wished I had much sooner when I first got into CC cigars. Only you can know what you will like. If you smoked something and like it then its worthy of a box puchase. Buy singles and see what you like otherwise. There are percent off sales throughout the year here and makes stuff much more affordable. If not you end up with stuff you just dont care too much for and its better to put your money into your likes Imo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troels Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Ramon allones superiores is more approachable rott than rass and comes in boxes of ten, might fit your wish. Based on what you like I thought of juan lopez nr 2, but I would suggest the sampler pack as well though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any suggestion on a vitola? Completely different, no relation at all apart from copied name. The exhibition #4 is the champ for me currently, its a Hermosa #4 so essentially robusto sized. I'd just keep trying lots of singles, the best journey in this hobby is discovering what you enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EXhibition #4 is one I need to try. I hear alot of good. I never cared too much for Short Chrchills but hear It is a different animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the SC's well travelled, quietly classy and interesting uncle. Who was the life and soul of the family until he got too fond of the sauce, he's just left rehab though and it's nice to see him back; no more wet spots on the carpet or strange smells in the wardrobe.

jdo2110 Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 I think the best bang for your buck VERY nice smoke - perhaps special occasion - would be the aforementioned Royal Robusto and the Superiores. And between the two, the Royal Robusto. They are sold in ten counts, so you don't have to have the financial investment of a 25 count. I believe that both are delicious and approachable young, and can become amazing with time... If you can resist smoking them all. I can't, and that's a problem ; ) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers bro Well, I can promise it's a sure bet. If you don't like them, someone will be eager to take them off your hands... And if you happen to be in the states, I'll be that guy : ) Have fun, I've been smoking cigars for several years, and I still have SO many cigars to try Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintsmokealot Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Cohiba Robusto and Bolivar Royal Corona's are some of my favorites and well worth a look at Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
