There are many threads that list our favorite sticks, our favorite yard gars, our favorite cheap smokes and I get lots of good suggestions from them, but this thread is for getting suggestions that fit our existing preferences.

I suggest that we post a few cigars that are typical of what we like. Other can read the list and if they also enjoy the same things then they can suggest a couple that the other person may like. The idea is to stick to cigars that you feel are similar rather than ones you happen to really like but which may not suit the other person. This is open to anyone who wants to post a list.
So here's a list of a few of my regulars (I'm a cheap bastard at heart);

Alex Bradley Black Market Robusto
Oliva Series V (I don't care for the other Oliva series)
Joya de Nicaragua Red
Illusion Rothschild
CAO MX2
Almost all CC's I've had except Gutalamera

A few you may also enjoy....

Oliva El Cobre - good price point and IMO has similar profile to the AB Black Market
Kristoff Ligero maduro - flavor profile is still in the same range but a bit richer and heavier on the cocoa. Very smooth.
San Lotano maduro lancero - again still in the same profile but the San Andres wrapper leans things a little more towards the spicier/earthy notes. Solid price point too.

For maduros, try the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial as a stronger, pepperier maduro; for the sweeter, more chocolatey ones, give the Tatuaje HCR and 7th Reserva a go. Somewhere in the middle is the Noella Reserva, which I think you'll also love. Also, a bargain stick you might like is the Torano Exodus 50th.

have you tried the Reinado GER? Their LE release of the petite lance was really good and probably a profile in your wheelhouse. Not sure if they're still floating around though. The DE/SmokeInn Pope of Greenwich Village is another great one that reminds of fresh LP 9s from a few years ago.

I have! Someone bombed me with one, and I recall it being interesting. Not one I was thrilled with, but good.
