Hello everyone my name is Marvin and I'm from San Diego. I'm new to FOB and new to the cc world. I have been buying cc's for the last 6 months and the whole "aging"cigars has discouraged what I can have now and what I need to save for later. Can I get someone's expert advice on a list of what cigars smoke young . I appreciate your guys input and advice. Thank you!!

FOB? FOH..

If you read a lot of threads point you to what's smoking hot now; Hoyo Epi2, Juan Lopez #2, Punch Punch, RyJ Exh #4, Monte #2..

Plus most of petit coronas smoke great ROTT..

A lot of it is down to personal preference, I love a young ryj cazadores or psd4 where other people might find them un-approachable for a few years thinking them too strong or harsh.

Hate to say it but imo you have to learn by doing. Try some young smokes, try some older smokes, and more importantly try and age some yourself - testing them over time.

Stick to PC's...most are smokable

JL 2

Hoyo, Des Dieux, Epi 2

Some are impressed with the M2,,,, better young than past uears, but still not good....the Especials is a better bet

care to elaborate?

In my opinion it's completely true: I've not had a cc in the last year which wasn't smoking well straight away. Will some improve with age... yes; but are they all very enjoyable now: most definitely.

I am confused now. since behikes came out in 2010 and that makes all of them young does that mean all behikes since release are not smokable? How do you you know they will improve with age?

The OP said he was new to CC'S and and says he has been buying for you months....by saying recent production I assumed he was speaking 14-13 stock.

If I am wrong, apologies. ...

Never had a Behike, but everyone except my buddy Mike says they are impressive (that I've talked to).

Des Dieux are good, but I recently bought an HQ box, and there are some spots that time needs to settle.

Epi2, JL1, JL2, EX4, RASS, M2, M4, Cazzie, HUPP RR, RA SUP, Punch Punch, SCDH El Principe... I've had multiple of all of these, and can confirm they had great flavor, young.

I guess, as with many things cigar related, it's all a matter of opinion. I'd personally lay down des dieux over anything else that was mentioned. I have found recent (mainly 2013) boxes of VR unicos, BBF, RASS, Connie 1 and 898's have been amazing rott. I can't comment on Cohiba as It's the only marca I don't smoke.

I wouldn't say that anything coming out of cuba these days was unsmokeable, let alone unenjoyable.

However if i had to pick 3 best smokes straight from the fresh box these days: Boli PC, Punch Punch and Punch DC

Apart from a few boxes of aged sticks I snagged I'm currently smoking everything young ;)

Best I've found so far:

HdM epi 2

HdM petit robusto

RASCC but aged are so much better

LFDC grandiosos APAC RE

My parti shorts needed a few months to shed some ammonia but now are good

I've enjoyed my RASS young but...

I've got a 50 cab of HdM epi 2 (oct 13) which needs to shed a bit of ammonia but got more legs than what I'm used to for these. Curious where they'll end up with a bit of time...
