A humi full of these sticks would make pretty much anyone on this forum a happy camper. And all come in the price range you suggested.

Any Pardon variety is delicious ( their X000 (thousand) series are on the cheaper side in the 5-8$ range) as well as the majority of fuente in my opinion&#8230;.but thats probably exceeding the 8$ price point &#8230;.the previous sticks mentioned by dscl are all solid sticks &#8230; I would also go with anything by crowed heads such as headily grange or four kicks&#8230;.Oliva produces solid sticks especially the Oliva V serie are solid in almost every vitola&#8230;.. most of the ashton cigars are delicious thought they can exceed your price point&#8230;&#8230;..these suggestions are not even scratching the surface of what is available &#8230;.. best advice get some samplers try a wide variety and smoke what you like

ya I guess that was mainly what I was looking for is suggestions for stuff to try not something to go right out and buy and fill it up

 

[mmchugh84]

Some website to check out if your not familiar and just starting &#8230;. www.cigarmonster.com &#8230;&#8230;www.famous-smoke.com (<---their both the same company) If you click on "forums" at the top of this page and scroll down you can see other cigar sites that are sponsors here &#8230;&#8230;. I would also check out www.cigarsinternational.com or www.cigarbid.com (both of these companies are one in the same)&#8230;&#8230; some call it a "slippery slope"&#8230;.but its more like a Cliff &#8230;Enjoy The Jump!

I would avoid Gurkha and Rocky Patel personally, but otherwise Cigar International/Famous Smoke samplers are the way to go -- try a bunch of stuff!

 

[skullnbones]

E.P. Carillo is another great option for that price range and quality. I wouldn't worry to much about filling your humi to max capacity right off the bat.... It will happen on its own faster than you think.

 

[StogieNinja]

First, don't be in a rush to fill it! Trust me, that'll happen all on its own. Try singles, and if you like them, buy a fiver. If you still like them, buy another fiver. If you're still in love after that, buy a box.

Your palate will change and develop as you get more into cigars. Don't stock up yet, you might regret it later.

As far as medium recommendations go, here are a few based on your likes, and in the price range:
-Kristoff Maduro
-illusione Rothschild
-Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro Quadrum
-AB Black Market
-Padron 2000 Maduro
-Fuente 858 Maduro
-Drew Estate MUWAT, especially the +11 and Baitfish
-Drew Estate Undercrown
-Perdomo 10th Anniversary Maduro
-EP Carillo core Maduro
-RoMa Craft Intemperance BA XXI
-Ramon Bueso Genesis

Yeah don't go crazy buying stuff...take the time to explore ... you'll be looking for extra storage before you know it

 

[Agentskull]

I am just pointing out. it seems like he has a lot of space in there....


Tat PCR
Romacraft mod 5
illusione R

 

[StogieNinja]

Oh man. How did I forget the PCR?! What a great little smoke. I need to get myself more of those. P

 

[erjaq]

Couple sticks I would look at in that range are
Illusione Rothchildes

+1.

Actually, +&#8734;. If there's a better smoke in that price range I'd like to know about it.

Definitely don't fall into the Gurkha/RP trap. I've only been smoking for about 6 months, and I've managed to fill 2 50-count humis in that time, but there are 7 Gurkhas and 5 or 6 RPs in there that I won't touch anytime soon. Spend a little time here and these guys will steer you in the right direction.

Truth

I thought that, back in October, I would be set with a 5 gallon tupperdor.

I was wrong. Very, very wrong.

 

[d-boy]

Like others have said, don't go crazy trying to fill it right now. Take your time and try out a variety sticks. The humidor will fill itself before you know it and then you'll be on your way to looking into a wineador or cabinet before you know it! Lol

Another suggestion is to get sampler packs. Not the ones with 5 sticks of 5 volitas of the same stick, but like the AB sampler pack, the Pinar del Rio sampler, CAO sampler, anything AJFernandez sampler, to name a few. Thats how I fine tuned what I liked, and I didn't have a mostly untouched box of a blend I didn't care for. You can grab them for ~15-30 for a 5 pack, depending on the brands.
