El Presidente Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I received this e-mail on Tuesday. I have answered it but as always it is better to access the wide opinions of as many forum members as possible. "Hi Rob I was hoping you could recommend to me a "Smoke Now Sampler"? What I mean is that after laying them down in the humidor for a month, I can smoke them and appreciate them without the need for aging. I haven't got the time to age Rob and nor the finances to purchase aged cigars. I want to avoid "wincing" when trying a new stick. If you could recommend 12 cigars, that would be great" SO FOH members......Pick say 1/2 a dozen cigars you believe would fit the bill

cigarbreak Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 As one who is not yet into the 'aging' aspect yet, and one who has predominantly '13-'14 boxes - all bought blind- of what i've smoked so far (at least more than 3 sticks of each) id say the following: RASS RASCC PLPC's HUCONNIE 1's 2011's HUConnie A SCdLH EL Principe Bolivar PC's JLO2's Mag46 I know its more than a 1/2 dozen but many of these i enjoyed with much less than 1 month of rest, maybe a week at most especially the PLPC's and Mag46.

CaptainQuintero Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Wow not a single cohiba named so far. I'd happily recommend a Siglo 1 fresh. I guess it's my wallet which tells me to shut up lol. 1

CigarAsh Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Need some love for the R&Js that have been coming out lately. Wide Churchill, Short Churchill, Exhibition #4 have all been terrific fresh. San Luis Rey Regios are great. I usually find most Montes smoking well with no lay down. Hoyo Petite Robustos are always good right of the truck over the past year. 1
