AndrewNR Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Howdy guys, I know this is a heated discussion and not a can of worms I'm interested in discussing so don't bother really.. I'm purely interested in buying a 10ish cigar sampler of mid-range NC cigars. It's impossible to not be curious no? So anybody here have a trusted vendor they get NC's from? I know some members smoke them... Australia is a funny place... While we're not busy being castrated for smoking Cubans you rarely see cigars from a different origin. You do sometimes, But rarely. I'd like to try a moderately priced sampler, Anybody in the know able to point me in the right direction? Cheers, Andrew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewNR Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Dimwittedly I should also add pm me as advertising etc is not allowed and I didn't make that connection.. Regardless! Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradbrennan Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Guessing many of us on here would send you some, might be better than buying a sampler. But if you're looking for U.S. shops, that I'm assuming will ship to you, pm me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbbones Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would recommend ten Cigar Rights of America sampler Google it. Many vendors . Good deal, and you support a good cause! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftimatic Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I would go with Nat Sherman Timeless Dominican Torpedo x2 (pretty tasty) RYJ Romeo (some don't like but I did) Gran Habanos #3 Reserva 2008 Pyramid x2 ( I bought a box will probably get another) Flor De Las Antillas Toro Hoyo De Monterray Dark Sumatra Ebano Padron Natural Londres or 3000 (the 1964 and 1926 are nice but for that kind of cake go CC and get it over with.) Alec Bradley Black Market Robusto And my secret shame Quorum at least one, At 25 bucks for a bundle of Coronas they get a guy through the winter. Cant believe how hard it was to make a list, would be easier to pick 20 for you to avoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmill3r Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 There's a lot of BS to wade through in the NC world....that being said, I would only recommend Fuentes (Hemingway specifically), Padrons, My Father (No. 1, 2, 3, or 4, none of the weird variations, just the originals), some Tatuajes, some Illusiones, and the Liga Privada T52 if you can find it. That's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smallclub Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I smoke 99% cuban; the NC's that I will smoke again are all in the low/middle range, ie $5 cigars: Illusione Rothchildes, Fuente Short Story, some Tatuaje, some Oliva, Padilla lot 23… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftimatic Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Hmmmm... anything made by Alec Bradley would top my list of cigars to avoid I used to think that but the couple I had were quite good. Had a good prensado then had about ten crap. You are right mighty touch and go. Popularity kills a good cigar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imangelo Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Less expensive Padron 2000 Maduro Robusto Flor De Las Antillas Toro (amazing fresh...taste like crap after a year) Aging Room M356 Robusto (had some amazing ones, a few "meh") Not so cheap: Zino Platinum (only if you can get a good deal, otherwise pricey) Padron 1964 Maduro Churchill (first choice) or Robusto (runner up) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikek Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 When I smoke them they are all med./full bodied. Ashton VSG, Padron all maduro 3000,1926,and 1964,Tatuaje! I have found Cigar Place Biz will ship anywhere,and always have A big selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jvel79 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Anything in the Padron line would be nice. Murcielago robusto is a great price point for surprisingly good cigar. Nica Rustica from Drew Estates also a solid smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
