GodofFire Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Way to many choices to make. In the past several weeks since I made the decision to get into CC I have had the honor of a couple of really nice guys help me out with purchasing some cigars to smoke. All but 2 were smaller ring gage. I normally just smoke larger rg when it comes to NC as well as longer ones. I really like to enjoy a good cigar for at least 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 1/2. The longer the better. If i have the time out comes the 2 hour stock. I truly enjoyed everyone of the cigars I had the chance to smoke especially the larger ring gages as they have me more time to enjoy smoking them than the smaller ones did. I fully understand why people enjoy the smaller rings, taste is one of the major things as well as time restraints. Smaller quicker larger longer. But now I am struggling with what to do as far as what brands and size to start out with. Do I buy a box A, no maybe brand B Oh crap if i buy that then i won't be able to get Box C!!! Etc etc. Depending on what I buyi am looking at purchasing 2 to 3 boxes. in other words I cannot make up my mind on what to start buying and I need to figure that out soon. ... I only have 3 CC left and it will take roughly a couple weeks to get an order once I pull my head out of you know where. Thankfully I have a few hundred NC to smoke while waiting. But not the same. . Well thanks for letting my mind stroll while taking a break at work. You all have a great day and enjoy your smokes tonight. . Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxman Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 I would contact the beautiful Diana and get a robusto sampler, usually has 12 different cigars of what is smoking well now. That way the ones you like you can then go back and grab boxes of. Hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cohiba, Montecristo, Bolivar, are great Marcas with hugely different flavour profiles to explore... Finding the Marcas and flavours that match you palate is a process...a fun one Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro2486 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 You really can't go wrong with say a box of RASCC or whichever smaller cigar you liked the most from what you listed and a robusto sampler from Prez. Or maybe seeing if the lovely Di can do you a deal on 25 sticks of five different cigars like the PC/minuto special that was on offer a couple months ago. Personally I'd go for smaller smokes to maximise variety. Good luck bro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheppsea Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I'd also go for a variety of brands; when I first started on CCs I found trying PCs gave a good idea of the different brands although is you want a bigger cigar maybe a robusto sampler is the way to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elam370 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Petite Coronas and Club Coronas are always a good start. Robustos aren't a bad way either but I've found myself drawn to Petite Coronas more than any other vitola lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM-US Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If you're coming from NCs, I would suggest going witha sampler or two to see what flavor profiles you like. If you post what you like. I'm sure we can come up with some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogus Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Samplers are informative and adventurous fun way to figure but do get a box of Partagas shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GodofFire Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 +1 I bought a few Epicure Especials got them in the mail on Thursday have smoked a couple and they are nota bad cigar. One of the things I like its that it takes a hour plus to smoke it. Now that was something I was looking for in testing out some CC.. how are the Especial compared to the Epicure 2?? Also tried Monte Edmundo again a wonderful cigar and took me hour and a Half to enjoy it. Just wonderful just wonderful. have had the PD4 again an awesome cigar. Now I would like to get my hands on a couple RYJ short Churchill and the wide Churchill which are 2 of the cigars I am looking to buy.. thanks to all for the info. ....
