Please give me some advice

[jaiden]

As a cigar newbie, I'd like some advice: what are your top three choices for the Petit Corona and Piramide sizes?🫡

[Puros Y Vino]

Welcome newbie.  

Here's my take

Petit Corona

1. Bolivar PC.  Rich, complex, decently priced.
2. Siglo II. My favourite. Far more expensive than the rest, but I've never had a bad one.
3. Montecristo No 4. Reliable. Easy to find.

Piramide.

1. VR Unicos. No contest. These are coffee and cocoa bombs that just get better with age. So good, you can probably eat them (but don't).
2. Partagas P2. Rich, complex smoke on the bolder side.
3. Upmann No 2 / Diplomaticos No 2  Both very different but difficult for me to pick one for the No 3 position. (So, a tie) I've smoked more Dip 2's over the years. They're medium bodied but complex. The Upmann 2's are bolder and I've gotten into them a bit late. Wish I had bought a box or two. Let us know what you end up trying.

Thank you so much! Of you mentioned, I've only tried the BPC, Montecristo No. 4, and Partagas P2. They are undoubtedly outstanding. I'll try the other four you recommended.🫡

Can't have this conversation without mentioning a well aged PLPC: Por Larranaga Petit Corona!

I haven't tried this one yet, but its 50 cab is very appealing.

Petit Corona = Cohiba Siglo II, Montecristo #4, Hoyo de Monterrey Coronations 

Piramide = H.Upmann No. 2, Montecristo No. 2, Sancho Panza Belicosos.

I like Hoyo Coronations and Montecristo No.2 too. 😋

Absolutely! BBF wasn't my first Cuban cigar, but it's what made me love with Cuban cigars.

Cohiba Siglo II

Trinidad Coloniales

Cohiba Piramides Extra

These are the class of the field. 'Spendy' these days, but worth it in my estimation.

Very authoritative, the price is also authoritative.
