Any rec's for quality cigars?
Jus feels like a boss thing to do
I feel the same way but I’m going to wait a few more cycles. Need more sats 😂
Monte cristos are nice
Just don't. Unless Cubans
Then don't after that
A great starter cigar is Oliva Connecticut Reserve (not Maduro). Once you’ve got the hang of it, it’ll be too mild, but it’s a great start
The Fuente Chateau is another good starter, and the Fuente 858 is a classic you can find everywhere (with a little more flavor)
The Perla Del Mar Maduro is a great starter Maduro, it’s deceptively dark but actually nice and sweet
I would stay away from My Father until you know what you like, their cigars are all very different, but once you’ve dialed in your taste, they’re sure to make something you’ll like
Romeo Y Julieta is another extremely popular cigar that people like, with a bit more kick than other common cigars
Most important thing is buying cigars that have been well-kept. Too dry (pretty common) or to wet (less common) will ruin the experience
Try a V-Cut when you’re getting started, it helps you learn how deep to cut
I don’t care for Montecristo and I’ve never had a Brickhouse or Maconudo that I have liked
It all comes down to personal taste though, those cigars sell plenty so someone must like them
Don’t be cheap but you don’t need to spend more than $10 if you have someone steering you in the right direction
“The Ultimate Cigar Book” is a great read
Good luck and welcome to #cigarstr
Oh and forget Cubans. Doesn’t matter how good the tobacco is if it’s rolled by communists (no quality control) and they skip the aging
budget Maduro recommendations:
Punch
Undercrown
I almost mentioned Punch. It’s a favorite of mine. But I didn’t pick one up right away. So I don’t know how it would taste to a beginner.
This is a great starter pack: https://www.holts.com/samplers/all-cigar-samplers/connecticut-cream-monster-deal.html
