Cigars suggestion?

Hello,

I would like to make a list of cigars I should buy/try. Maybe you can help me and tell me, which cigar you really like and why

Here some photos of my humidor, nearly empty...still new. I bought it one week ago

Regards

La Gloria Cubana Churchill and Wavell's. Doesn't have the sweet undertones a lot of Dominican do. And very reasonably priced for a daily smoker like myself. Of course nothing beats a Cuban Montecristo #2.

Just noticed you're in Russia. Anything in the Cuban Hoya de Montery line are very nice. Montecristo 3and 4 are great smaller smokes.

+1 Hoyo.... Epicure No. 2 lovely stick and great value
Saint Luis Rey Serie A
Ramon Allones Specially Selected

^ some of my daily smokes

You can't go wrong with any Cohiba Siglo I, II, III, IV (my favorite). I'm not a huge fan of the V, and VI.

Try get a box of Trinidad Robusto T...they are discontinued now

Ramon Allones Extra (2011 regional edition)... REALLY good. So they are worth looking for too.

To the list. Thank you very much

I'm not a daily smoker, maybe one a week or every two weeks.

Yes, I'm in Russia but I move a lot. I've just arrived from (my little country) Spain, where I buy all the cigars and everything. So, I should wait till my next visit to buy

No one has asked what cigars the OP likes. It is helpful to ask what characteristics a person likes in a cigar, and what favorites he has already. This makes it easier to suggest similar smokes that we know align with his tastes.

Hello TheDude,

Don't worry, I'm starting on this hobby, so I'm open to try everything new :)

I work part time in a cigar shop just for fun and I am studying to be a certified Tobacconist.

Many of the suggestions have been on the milder side. Also, with a few exceptions, there have not been many boutique brands recommended.

Definitely try the Padron Anniversario (various blends and wrappers)

Definitely try Tatuaje brown label (other Tatuaje are great too)

Julius Caesar
Casa Magna
Oleva Serie V
Illusione
Cain F

There are many many others, try and if you like something, tell your Tobacconist, he can recommend other similar smokes.
