So as I said in my “re-introduction” ( http://www.botl.org/community/forums/showthread.php?t=56812 ) I haven’t really smoked anything new in a while. I did have a Tat TAA that was pretty awesome, and a San Lotano Oval that was so-so.

I know I’m in for a slew of recommendations, so let me list a few that I like in no particular order….

T52’s
Henry Clay
Barclay Rex
Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial
Tat Black PL

So…Any recommendations on new or newer cigars (past 8 months or so) based on the above?

Any suggestions greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

Thanks

I recommend trying these:

Undercrown
EPC maduro/short run
La Casita Criolla
Four Kicks
Fausto
Is Four Kicks out yet? Thought they were still shipping from the East (?)
Good recommendation...I like everything I have read so far Crowned Heads :)

I couldn't tell ya. I'm still trying to get caught up from my stretch of unemployment = no room in the budget for new cigars.
How are ya, Bill?

Yeah...I JUST got a job, but it doesn't allow a real gar budget for me right now either. I have just been burning through my stash for months!

PM me with what kind of job you are looking for...Hopefully I can help.

Four Kicks shipped this week. I think it was Emerson's that posted here earlier today that they had them in stock. I got my hands on a cg and it's safe to say it will be my next box purchase.

Yep....Emerson's has it splashed all over their home page! Mark at Tower said he'd be getting them early next week.

I just smoked a Liga Privada L40 (Top Quality Cigars) and it is killer. I recommend a fiver highly. Not as powerful as T52 but very nice flavors. Mine was rott, so the next should be even better.

Great thread idea. These types of threads always divulge great info. I had not heard of Four Kicks until now :)

Illusione Signature and Epernay are.both fantastic smokes. Not real full, butefinitely great composition. I am having my first maduro tonight. If I like, I am buying a box. Also out recently, the Viaje Red & Blacks are excellent. As are the new JDN Uzi's. I also think this is a great thread. Thanks for the info guys.

Frankly, I think all of the cigars EP Carrillo has released have been somewhere between good and awesome, so you really can't go wrong with any of those. The La Casita Criolla isn't my favorite personally, but it definitely has a unique profile to it, and is definitely worth trying on those grounds alone. If you like really strong cigars somewhere between Liga Privada and La Flor Dominicana DL Maduros, ChiefHava's CroMagnon cigars are great. The upcoming Liga Privada L40 lancero I smoked recently was AWESOME. If you get a chance, get some Wolfman sticks too. I liked the one I smoked fresh, but I think they have the potential to be fucking KILLLLLLER by next Halloween.
