Cigars to try?

[Gravity]

I have not tried the Hemingway, Oliva V, or the LP, so those definitely go on the list. Thanks man.

They are one of my favorite NC's. Don't know very many people who don't like a Hemingway.

Tough to make any suggestions without know what your looking for? My top 5 that everyone should try (price not being a factor)

Ashton VSG
DPG My Father
Tatuaje Reserva
Fuente Opus X
Padron Family Reserve

If i worked at a shop and some total newbie comes in says what 10 cigars should i try without breaking the bank. This is what I would put together for him.

JDN Celebracion
Fuente Hemmingway Short Story
Padron 1000 series natural
Perdomo Lot 23 natural
Torano Exodus
CAO Brazilla
Tatuaje Havana VI
Alec Bradley SCR
PDR Oscuro
RP Vintage 1990

I keep a notebook of stuff i want to try. Write the name and just a few notes on what interests me about the stick. So when i go shopping for something new i just break out the notebook and pick something off the list.

Great list, thanks. A couple years ago, my wife and I were on a cruise and a guy on the ship gave me a Fuente Opus X. It is still in my humidor, and until recently I didn't really know that it was that highly regarded.

My Father Le' Bijou Petite Robusto (7-8$) << Got plenty I'd be willing to send a couple
Ashton VSG Robusto (10-11$)
Fuente Sun Grown 8-5-8 (5-8$)

I have tried a few from DPG, and really like them. Haven't tried the Le'Bijou yet, I'll pick that up next time I am at Corona.

My brother in law gave me a Padron that I really liked, but I am not sure which one it was.

Very cool, good cigar, easy on the wallet too. Try a few different sizes of those brown band padrons, or more commonly referred to as the "Padron 1000's", each one is a bit different.

If the shop you go to has a few that have darkened up go for those.. The pepper smooths out and a hint of dark chocolate is present Phenomenal cigar out the box but about 4-6 mellows it out. I'll attempt to age atleast 5 for a year and see what happens.

The Padron 1000 line is one of the best value cigars made.
Also, try Case Fernandez' stuff... Aganorsa, Miami...etc...

Great idea, thanks.
