re: Cigar Recommendations?

First, get yourself a humidor if you do not have one.
Second, start ordering from www.cigarinternational.com Their prices are significantly cheaper than what you will pay at a retail store.
Third, do not shy away from a more full bodied cigar. I find that the milder cigars taste more like tobacco which will get you into the situation of a cigarette smelling and tasting cigar.

Cigars to try:
As ATL correctly pointed out Rocky Patel makes some incredible cigars.
Gurkha makes seemingly millions of blends that you can get cheap. Get a Gurkha sampler and see what you like.
Romeo Y Julieta, Macinudo, and Torano make some great mild to medium cigars. Torano Noventa might be a good place to try a medium bodied cigar

La Herencia Cubana is a good medium-full stick. The LHC Oscuro Fuerte is a staple in my humidor and is full bodied, but a great introductory full bodied cigar.

I would suggest making notes on the cigars you smoke. Then, compare your notes to what the write ups say. This way you will know what to look for in a write up when trying a new cigar.

Good Luck and Long ashes
