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 thinking.gif

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.

The guy who sent you the email read my mind. Personally haven't smoked a ton, but the HDM Epi 2s, Connie As, and Sir Winnies have all done great young.

if you wanted something pricier/bigger, I'd go with the punch dc or sig vi, both of which have been good fresh in the last year or two.

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.
