Haven't smoked in years, but the last I tried that left a good impression on me are Sancho Panza Double Maduro. Looking on line they look like they run about $5 apiece now.

I used to smoke Grenadiers years ago, back when 2 bucks was a lot of dough for a smoke........

Looks like I've got a few to check out.

Start with J&R Cigars. Their J&R Alternatives are a great buy.

    I've been checking their site out for a couple weeks. They had a deal on some Acid Ripcords a few days ago and I jumped on those. I'd had them before so I knew what I was getting. I think I'm gonna order a couple samplers from them.

      The Java Drew Estates are personally one of my favorites. 🙂

        I ordered a dozen or so different brands and types online today. A couple each from Drew Estate, Acid, Diesel, Montecristo, & a few Kristoff Ligero

          I've been smoking cigars for several years now, and still cannot tell you about most of them. The market is vast and varied.

          My current go to smokes are Brickhouse for a 'regular' cigar, and Drew Estate Ambrosia for a light and fragrant, almost 'sweet', smoke.

          The CAO Brazilia pictured above it a damn fine one. Drew Estate Java is really nice too, but the Java Mint was just too much - would not recommend.

          I have to give a shout out to Corona Cigar for service (one of the few places I can still find the Ambrosia cigars). They made a mistake in my favor (I ordered 5 samples of another brand, they sent 5 boxes). I didn't have the humidor space, or the conscious, to keep them (more of the former maybe). When I told them and returned the mistaken shipment, they filled my mailbox with goodies in appreciation. Good folks there.

          Just ordered a J&R alternative to Gurkha G3 TORO. 20 for $48. Have not tried one yet.

          Picked these up locally. I didn't even know there were any cigar shops around here. I picked up a Montecristo White also but I've already smoked it.

          I smoke Cigars on a regular basis. My favorite brand is Rocky Patel. I like to try many different brands so I order a lot of samplers from cigarsinternational.com. They also have a factory 2nds and overruns section that gives you a lot of bang for your buck. Other brands I like are Cusano, Oliva, Punch, Brick House. My favorite sleeper brand as of late is Nica Libre.

          It's now one of my favorites at a price that doesn't break the bank. Stick to long filler cigars for a more pleasurable experience in my opinion. The mixed filler cigars tend to burn hotter and don't taste as good to me(usually). Find a wrapper that you like and explore. I tend to go with a corojo or maduro wrapper most of the year. In the summer when it is hot I like a lighter connecticut wrapper.
