My first bombing, and it hit twice in a day! Many thanks go out to @GoBison and @mjones9630 - they have given me a lot of new flavors to try, and lots to live up to as a member of this community. I hope to get my stock up so that I can do the same in kind for a new batch of newcomers one day! Thanks again Steve and Mike!!

EDIT:
Alright, took me a few to catalogue all these, but I think I got all these right:

1ea 601 Serie Brass Monkey (5 x 52, NIC)
1ea 601 Serie Red Habano Churchill (7 x 48, NIC)
1ea Alec Bradley Maxx Brazil Gordo (6 x 60, HON)
1ea Ave Maria (Core line) St. George (6 x 54, NIC)
1ea Ave Maria Divinia Perfecto (6 x 60, NIC)
2ea Crowned Heads Jericho Hill 12 Honest men (7.5 x 38, NIC)
1ea Crowned Heads La Imperiosa Magicos (4.5 x 52, NIC)
1ea Diesel Rage Perfecto (6 x 60, NIC)
1ea Diesel Wicked (6.2 x 56, NIC)
1ea Drew Estate Larutan (formerly Natural) Dirt Torpedo (5 x 52, NIC)
1ea Espinosa y Ortega (EO brands) Murcielago Robusto (Box Press) (5x50) (5 x 50, NIC)
1ea Fratello (core line) Corona (5.5 x 46, NIC)
1ea Joya de Nicaragua Joya Red Short Churchill (3.75 x 48, NIC)
1ea La Palina Classic Rosado Robusto (5 x 52, DR)
1ea La Palina Collection Goldie Laguito No. 2 (6 x 38, USA)
1ea Leccia Tobacco White Little Guy (446) (4 x 46, NIC)
1ea Man O' War Ruination Robusto No. 1 (5.5 x 54, NIC)
1ea Ramon Bueso Genesis Habano Robusto (5 x 50, HON)
1ea Ramon Bueso Genesis The Project Toro (6 x 50, HON)
1ea Ramon Bueso Olancho Robusto (5 x 50, HON)

There are a lot of great sticks in here, but you each sent me a Jericho Hill 12 Honest Men. Those may or may not be the best smokes in the bunch, but those will be kept for a nice clear night when I can really relax and enjoy the hell out of them. Didn't even know they existed, but after finding out about them I'm glad I got them.

Hey Nathan glad you enjoy the selection! The 12 Honest Men is a GREAT stick (IMHO) and I always grab a box when Holts has them on sale. The 1st picture with the AVE, MOW, and Diesel are all blended by AJ Fernandez. The Ramon Bueso are only available at Cigar Intl. affiliated sites and the rest are varieties I like to keep around for daily smoking. I would say all can be found for less than $5 with smart shopping. NO MORE EMPTY HUMIDOR PICS!:rage::rage::LOL:(y)

and NICE HIT @mjones9630 !! (I'm not done with you Brother - you're post is coming......)(y)

I started to pick up a box of the Ramon Bueso when I got my first drop, but I went for a little more variety to start out with. I don't regret my decision (the Gran Habanos GH2 was a really delicious 2 buck stick) but I'm looking forward to trying those. And all of them really. That fat AB MAXX looks great, and the Murcielago looks intriguing. I'm excited!

do a search for Cigar Review by the Katman and read up on both and then let her decide. The Natural does come in a good variety of sizes if she does like that one.

The natural is smooth and sweet. That Leccia packs a little punch..
There's also a Natural 'NDB' available that doesn't have the sweet tip. If you like the smoke, but can't do that tip.
Size doesn't usually mean much when it comes to flavor or strength.. IMO, smaller ring sticks are usually bolder.
