kbull719 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Greetings all. I hope everybody is enjoying their Sunday. I am very new to the world of Cubans, but pretty seasoned in non-Cubans. I am going to be placing a small order and would like some input. I like a medium to full body cigar. Of course lots of flavor. What are your top five must trys? (Hopefully they are available in singles) I am planning on purchasing about 5-10 singles and may repeat this a few times before box purchases. Thanks in advance.

cigcars Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I like my Habanos pretty strong. If I were getting any I'd get Bolivars, Partagas 898's and Ramon Allones. They have the most descriptive and mapley flavors and aromas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Five, eh? Hmmmmmmmmm, eh. Bolivar Petit Corona Partagas D4 Bolivar Belicoso Finos Juan Lopez No. 2 Ramon Allones Specially Selected All great sizes and great prices. If you don't want a repeat, i'd personally strike the Belicoso Finos and take something like a Vegas Robaina Unicos, San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe, or Montecristo No. 1. Weaker good suggestions would be a Hoyo Epicure 2, Por Larranaga Montecarlos, or H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotusguy Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Over time, as usual in these threads, every single current production cigar plus a few discontinued cigars will be posted. I would recommend to ask Rob for a sampler to suit your tastes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colt45 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't have anything that could be considered recent / current production, so I can't comment personally. So, my suggestion would be to contact our hosts and have them put something together for you - there might even be a current sampler(s) available , of things that are smoking well currently. Have fun and enjoy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maplepie Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Over time, as usual in these threads, every single current production cigar plus a few discontinued cigars will be posted. yeaaah. But i'd tally up a list of the most popular. I would post a poll... but 100+ options may be a tad much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthson Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Poor guy is bound to get confused with all the different suggestions... I'm assuming he's following up the opinions with extensive review reviews to see what sounds good. If it were me, I'd grab whatever popped up the most, fitted to my preferred vitola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
