what are your must try habanos?

[kbull719]

Greetings all. I hope everybody is enjoying their Sunday.

I am very new to the world of Cubans, but pretty seasoned in non-Cubans. I am going to be placing a small order and would like some input. I like a medium to full body cigar. Of course lots of flavor. What are your top five must trys? (Hopefully they are available in singles) I am planning on purchasing about 5-10 singles and may repeat this a few times before box purchases. Thanks in advance.

I like my Habanos pretty strong. If I were getting any I'd get Bolivars, Partagas 898's and Ramon Allones. They have the most descriptive and mapley flavors and aromas.

Five, eh? Hmmmmmmmmm, eh.

Bolivar Petit Corona

Partagas D4

Bolivar Belicoso Finos

Juan Lopez No. 2

Ramon Allones Specially Selected

All great sizes and great prices. If you don't want a repeat, i'd personally strike the Belicoso Finos and take something like a Vegas Robaina Unicos, San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe, or Montecristo No. 1.

Weaker good suggestions would be a Hoyo Epicure 2, Por Larranaga Montecarlos, or H. Upmann Connoisseur No. 1

Over time, as usual in these threads, every single current production cigar plus a few discontinued cigars will be posted.

I would recommend to ask Rob for a sampler to suit your tastes.

I don't have anything that could be considered recent / current production, so I can't comment personally. So, my suggestion would be to contact our hosts and have them put something together for you - there might even be a current sampler(s) available , of things that are smoking well currently.

Have fun and enjoy

yeaaah. But i'd tally up a list of the most popular. I would post a poll... but 100+ options may be a tad much.

I'm assuming he's following up the opinions with extensive review reviews to see what sounds good.

If it were me, I'd grab whatever popped up the most, fitted to my preferred vitola

Ha!

I'm creating a list of sorts. All eventually will be tried, but first the most recommended. I duo thank everybody for their input!

perhaps you mean something else?

[PigFish]

I'd let you try this one but you have to make to my favorite biker hangout in the next thirty minutes or so!!!

You also would need to hang by your feet from the oak trees. ..

I would say PSD4 but IMO it is hit or miss with it missing too much.
