shaffer22 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Hi Friends, I've been into cigars for about ten years now, and I was into CCs from the very beginning. Only recently, though, do I now have the means to begin some serious collecting. To that end, I've been working the past few months to build my collection. Below is a list of the marcas and vitolas that I have so far. What do you recommend that I add to the collection next? I have to say that I really like every marca I've tried, so don't limit your recommendations to any particular brand. For me, theres a time and a place for every cigar. I appreciate your help! shaffer22 The list (so far): Bolivar Belicosos Finos Bolivar Royal Corona Bolivar Coronas Junior Cohiba Siglo II Cohiba Robusto H. Upmann Royal Robusto H. Upmann Sir Winston H. Upmann No. 2 H. Upmann Magnum 50 Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial Montecristo No. 1 Montecristo Double Edmundo Montecristo No. 2 Montecristo No. 4 Montecristo Petit Edmundo Partagas Serie D No. 4 Partagas Shorts Partagas Serie E No. 2 Partagas Mille Fleurs Partagas Lusitania Por Larranaga Petit Corona Por Larranaga Montecarlo Punch Punch Quai D'Orsay Coronas Claro Ramon Allones Specially Selected Ramon Allones Club Allones Romeo y Julieta Mille Fleurs Romeo y Julieta Cazadores Saint Luis Rey Regios San Cristobal de la Habana El Principe San Cristobal de la Habana La Punta Trinidad Reyes Vegas Robaina Famosos Vegas Robaina Unicos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nekhyludov Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 IMO, you need some churchills and DCs. There aren't many left. Get 'em while you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David88 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I would second the call for some DCs. It’s hard to go wrong with a Lusitania. Alternatively the montecristo especial or especial no.2 are some of my favourites and definitely worth a look. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to the list! Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubadust Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I know the general feeling towards double banded cigars but I would recommend Ramón Allones Club Allones Edicion Limitada 2015 and the Romeo y Julieta Capuletos Edicion Limitada 2016, both being reasonably priced, especially the Ramon Allones, and neither is that hard to come buy.

I actually already have a box of the Club Allones! Got them from a 24:24 a few weeks back. I haven’t tried the Capuletos, though. Adding to the list. Thanks!

shaffer22 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Although I suppose it’s a relatively short list around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSXCIGAR Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Kind of a "what's smoking good right now" question... Recent cigars that are getting high marks are PSD4, Lusi, HU Connie A, Punch Punch. Can't go wrong with any of those. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cubadust Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 If you don't mind the odd size and can find the right box I'd say H. Upmann Half Corona, too. Just for the hell of it. It's my "winter is coming" cigar. Skickat från min iPhone med Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cigarsandmalts Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Mag 46, Dip 2, PSP2, aged RyJ Ex4, Connie A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fugu Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I'd suggest buying depending on what's good production coming out of Cuba at any given moment. As you say you haven't got any particular strong preferences, and given you are already fairly broad-based, I'd really take it from there and you'll be served well. Buy what's good and buy good value when on sale. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnS Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Whatever is smoking well right now in Double Coronas and Churchills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Montecristo especial and or Trinidad fundadores. That's what is get next. Otherwise a box of punch double corona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave O))) Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 You can't go wrong with Juan Lopez Seleccion no 1 and or 2. Both are consistently good, are approachable young and should age well. The no 2 is particularly good at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaclub Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I concur with the above post. JLS2. Had one the other night from recent production. Very good cigar and as Prez has put, robusto of the year. Connie A and mag 46 also a forum favourite. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaffer22 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Thanks for all the recommendations so far! You all are such a wonderful resource. I really appreciate it. Let’s hope that the 24:24 gods will smile down on me and bring me some of these beauties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaffer22 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Crossed Partagas Lusis and Sir Winstons off the list tonight (and added them to the list above). Thanks for all the recs! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rguinn Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Have you tried the Fonseca #1’s? Highly recommended if not. I picked up a box on 24:24 a few weeks ago (2015) and they are outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
