Well gents, I’m looking for suggestions to branch out. I really like the two cigars in the title, what others should I try? Would be great to get some suggestions for new school and more classic cigars.
I’m all ears!

I loved the sungrown but my local B&M doesn’t have any right now. Anyone know when they’ll be released this year?
So, I’ve been smoking the maduro.
This weekend I smoked a Macanudo Hyde Park and after the Mi Amor it was pretty bland. But otherwise I haven’t had the chance to try too many. Yesterday I smoked a Tatuaje Nicaragua and it was nice, but only for part of the smoke was I getting varied flavors. Maybe I stepped up a bit too far too fast?

It's dangerous to go alone, take this.
sounds like you're looking for a more full bodied smoke...at that price range I'd say diesel unholy cocktail, man o war ruination, charter oak maduro, DPG blue, maybe DE undercrown or nica rustica?
maybe give this sampler a try? some of the darker CH stuff, and they're fairly cheap too

Truth.
That said, if you are looking to stretch out, I would second @squaresoft and say DPG Blue, and Nica Rustica are great options. Both are rich, and the DPG Blue can give some great complexity throughout the smoke, while the DE Nica Rustica is more of a steady rocker. In addition to that...
The DE Undercrown is similar in that steady, minimally variable, kinda way. That said, if you wanna spend a little more coin, the Liga Privada No. 9 or T-52 are both fun. And speaking of the T-52, I recently smoked a Tabernacle from ex-DE-man, Nick Melillo. That was a nice rich, coffee, chocolate, woody, stick...

Thanks for all the recs guys. Bunch of new stuff to try. I’m happy to try full bodied stuff but I’m also just looking for other medium bodied cigars to try.
Most of my cigars I smoke out in the mountains while I’m camping, so ideally I’d like to try a fuller bodied cigar at night with scotch (and campfire) and then a morning or afternoon medium bodied stick for hanging around the campsite. Looks like I’ve got some great suggestions. Thanks!

Good call with the La Careme... forgot about that one.

One thing to do is figure out what is it in the flavor profile if these specific cigars you liked. What flavors did you like? What was the nicotine level? What look to you like?
There are flavor profiles you can get online and download. That way you may be able to ID what flavors you like. Also, as you smoke you will evolve your taste.
You can take your taste profile to a good B&M store and get some great recommendations. Buys couple and smoke one. Then let the other one rest a bit and see is you notice a difference.
Enjoy your journey.

Never judge a brand by one cigar.
Most makers and vendors store their stock too moist.
Be sure you let your cigars dry down to a proper % before smoking.
Excess moisture will ruin the flavor and bouquet of a good cigar.
Hard liquor can anesthetize the palate,and will ruin a good cigar.
You will get every cigar made suggested to you ,so you will have to do the legwork yourself to find that ideal stick....
