So I would like 2 try something new for New Years Eve. I have purchased a Viaje Holiday blend for my husband but its ring guage is a bit 2 large 4 me. I generally enjoy Medium bodied sticks with a spicy flavor profile. My current faves are Namakubi & Cain Daytona. I try 2 stick with 46 ring or lower in the $5-10 range. Any helpful reccommendations would be appreciated.

Here are my suggestions that are close to your ring gauge requirements and are more medium body sticks with a bit of spice:
* Curivari El Gran Rey (smallest ring gauge is 50, but they're so good so I had to list it)
* Tatuaje Cabaiguan Guapos 46 (46) or Guapos Junior (42)
* Tatuaje El Triunfador #3 (46)
* E.P. Carrillo New Wave Connecticut Edition Stellas (42)
* Four Kicks Corona Gorda (46)
* La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial #1 (46, but edging toward Full body)
* Tatuaje La Casita Criolla HCB (46, but edging toward Full body)

Don't mean to be rude here but seeing as how half of your posts here have been advertising the shop you work for isn't it your job to know cigars well enough to recomend them to customers?

Thanks for the input guys... LOVE the La Casita. Been wanting to try the 7th. I think I'll gve it a go. & YES gibbleguts... u r very right & I do my best... its not feasible 4 me 2 smoke EVERYTHING so spend all of my down time searching for reviews. Actually, most of my customers often comment on how knowledgeable & helpful I am for only having 4 yrs of experience & being a female - as most of them dont expect that I am also a smoker. Still, I like 2 get input from more seasoned smokers always. I am ever seeking 2 learn more & do not feel above asking for suggestions or advice. The vastness & diversity of the cigar industry means that you never know everything & you never know who may have a tidbit of profundity 2 offer up so keep your mind open & you may be surprised where your next revelation originates.

Stupid question... Im assuming NC refers to Non-Cuban? At first I thought Nicaraguan cigar but at the very least the EP Carillo I believe is Dominican? And yes... I don't often have access to CC & never at the last minute. Thank You

I never thought of it, but it makes perfect sense to assume NC would be Nicaragua! :) kinda funny

Both great suggestions. I loved the LeBijou line. VSG is amazing but a little more than I wana spend. I think I'll try the 7th. I really want something I've never had before.
Off topic: I'm curious as to the Spanish translation of LeBijou. I'm gona have 2 look it up. My 8 yr old is obsessed with Naruto & Bijou refers to the demon that is contained inside the body of the human host (Jinchuriki) so it kind of intrigues me.
You might try the My Father Le Bijou 1922. I think it is a 42, but they are so good. Also might try an Ashton VSG series.
