New guy looking for suggestions.

OR..... You can smoke whatever you like (while realizing that taste is subjective) and ignore people that denigrate the sticks you like. As a matter of fact, I recommend that you buy a Rocky Patel from your local lounge and smoke that sucker for 6 hours while sitting on a stool and ordering only water.

It's easy to say smoke what you like...

But the OP and many others (probably including myself years ago) have asked for suggestions. The reality is that after a few years of smoking or even months of smoking (and good advice) people no longer spend the same money to buy lesser tobacco and crappier cigars.

Taste may be subjective but there are good cigars that a majority of people will and do enjoy (at every pricepoint in case you think this is an elitist statement.)

Undercrown was meant to be a surrogate for shops that could not get Liga. In that regard, it was not successful. Rather than smoking a cigar that aspires to be Liga Privada, just smoke Liga Privada.
As For Oliva Serie V, it's a templatized blend and very basic: Ecuador wrapper, the rest from Nicaragua and fairly strong. Most every Nicaraguan company is making a blend like this and they're all starting to taste the same. But, if you want to use the Serie V blend as a springboard, start smoking similar blends from AJ Fernandez, Espinosa Cigars, and My Father. Same template, minor variations in body and structure.
This type of blend has become the Chicken Parm' of the cigar world...satisfying in a heavy-handed, cheesy sort of way, but nothing special.

I appreciate your vast knowledge of cigars.

Thanks for the help Sara.

I realize that he asked for suggestions, and in fact I gave him a few. That being said, the thing that stuck in my craw was that he mentioned a couple of sticks THAT HE LIKED, and was essentially told "those sticks suck." If he thought they sucked, then he wouldn't have asked for suggestions based on them.

No, I didn't take your statement as elitist at all.

I didn't say buy a box. I said those were box prices.

Also, all those are relatively easy to sell at those prices if you outgrow it.

"If you're patient and buy by the box.........."
I reread it.
maybe you should as well.................
or you could blame it on Chuck...........

Ara is right here, you can find plenty tats for under $7 each. Check out smallbatchcigar and use the coupon code, they haven't run a 20% off tat coupon in awhile, but it does happen! The my father lines are excellent too.

Plus crowned heads smokes can be had around that price point. And i loveeeeee them. Le Careme, las mareas, las Calaveras, jericho hill, you'd probably enjoy them all. Plus that discount runs frequently on smallbatchcigar and they pop up on cigar monster ever now and again.
