Help a novice out!!

[Wolf4birdie]

So I've recently started smoking Cigars and I'm still very new to the entire world of cigars!

I have an uncle who travels quite a bit and was a cigar smoker a few years ago.. He has recently cut back and offered me a good bit of his cigars that he had left over. I know some of these were acquired in St Barts and I'm really not sure where else.. I'm pretty sure a couple of these are cuban.

The problem is I really have no clue what I have. I'm looking for feedback about these sticks good or bad.. I would like to know if I've landed anything noteworthy/rare/great/etc... I'd also like to know the common ones.

Basically just looking for opinions on the stash I landed that would be more knowledgable than my limited exposure.

Thanks in advance for any help or feedback!!

Assuming they're legit, the ones in the first photo are cubans, some quite good ones actually. The second from the left is a PSP2, which is one of my favorites. The Bolivar appears to be a Royal Corona, another great regular production stick, and the Cohiba I would guess is a Siglo IV perhaps. HdM Ep 2 are tasty as well. I've never tried any of the LEs. Very good stuff.

The ones in the second photo are widely accepted as some of the best non-cuban cigars around. Fuente Opus X are not cheap and are well-loved by many. Padron anniversary maduros likewise are widely respected as some of the best-constructed, most consistently delicious cigars around.

The third and fifth photos are knock around cigars, with the exception of the white tubed Davidoff, which is another higher-end, higher-priced cigar.

The ones in the fourth photo are ones I'm unfamiliar with, but are non-cubans.

He gave you some nice sticks, man!

Your uncle left you some nice smokes!

Both of the opus x (big red x) and padron are amazing smokes. As for the Cubans...from the pics looks like atleast 3 are legit. No expert but the no 2, boli and cohiba look good but not detailed pics. Not sure on the ELs

Lilninja Pretty much summed it up. Most of those arent mild, beginner cigars. You got some winners tho!

 

[Wolf4birdie]

Thanks for the feedback.. I've had a couple Opux X as well as Pardons so I'm familiar with those. I'm fairly certain all of these are legit.

i think the 4th pic you have 2 don lino's on left. They are bundle cigars and are about 1.50 to $2 lawn mowing sticks. Not that bad.

you sir, hit a goldmine. makes me want to go through my contacts and ask any friends if they've recently quit lol.

 

[blueboy714]

the HdM Epicure in the first photo is definitely a CC.

Good Haul! Some great smokes.

As mentioned you have some nice cigars to get started with

Let us know what you think of them:thumbsup:

Wow. I wish one of my uncles would give me a stash like that. The Montes, Trinidad, El Rey dM, Davidoff, Ramon Allones and the Padron are ones I'd enjoy. The CCs, if legit, are good but I don't have enough experience with them to tell you what's really good and what's not when it comes to Cubans. I don't care for the flavor profile of the Hoyos so I'd give them to someone if they were mine but you scored big.

Keep a soda or something around you when you smoke these... Some will def put you on your ass.
