Cigars for Beginners

Itsaboys!

Java
Tabak Especial cafe con leche
Acid Toast

Maduro Cuban Rounds

But I'm cheap af.

I'd recommend starting with Punch or 5 Vegas Classic brands. Entry level but still a premium cigar. My goto is La Gloria Cubana Serie R. If you're into infusion (4-letter word), I love the Drew Estate Tabak Especials for a little coffee flavor. If you want to test your limits, try a La Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Carojo.

I'm sure RedPop4 will be along to properly educate you.

As stated, the Acid brand isn’t bad for trying to get into it. I liken it to someone drinking Wild Turkey American Honey that is trying to acclimate to enjoying bourbon straight.

I hate an Acid cigar now. Like I hate wild Turkey honey. Cant stand the sweetness. But I won’t ever judge someone for smoking one cause they got me into the game. When I was new to it I loved them. If you’re trying to get a taste for it, I’d honestly recommend Acids or Del Sol to ease into it.

Otherwise, a lot of rocky Patel can be had for under $10. Gran Habano Connecticut is a nice cheap stick. CAO brands. Diesel I have enjoyed recently at around $9-$11.

There’s a very good thread on the Food and Drink board if you want to check that out.

My Father La Opulencia is one of my all time favorite cigars. I keep that one and a hand full of other My Father cigars in my humidor at all times. I think your best bet is to check out some of the sampler packs available from Perdomo, Rocky Patel, La Aroma de Cuba, and a few others I’ve seen. Can’t go wrong with the three I mentioned. That way you don’t have to worry about setting up a humidor to keep cigars. The bags they come in act as a humidor. Just keep them out of direct sunlight and you’re good to go.

A. Fuente or Leon Jimenes if you’re a newb. Gran Habano Connecticut #1 if you like a mild cigar. Perdomo Champagne is a good one too.

Jimenes is like smoking air it’s so mild. Great if you want a morning cigar. Fuente is good at
Just about any time. Chateau Fuente is my suggestion for that.

Get the Rocky Patel The Edge 4 pack sampler and try the different ones out and see which type you like.

Start out with Connecticut wraps. They're easy to smoke and don't wreck a non smokers mouth.

Undercrown Shade by Drew Estate is a great starter here
