I would also suggest looking into some samplers that Cigar.com offers. That will help you try different brands. I can totally understand where you're coming from, because I too, am a student on a limited budget. That being said, I still find good smokes on the cheap. When I'm looking for a cigar, I do as j0z3r said, and pick it up if I've read a good review. Also, ask the guys at your local shop, they might be able to lead you in a good direction. And these forums are loaded with information, and there's a lot of guys here who are very knowledgeable. They've helped me immensely.
A couple specific suggestions: Gurkha Sherpa and Nestor Reserve Maduro. These are about $2 a pop, and if I were told I could never smoke anything else, I wouldn't complain too much.
My suggestion would be to find out where your favorite cigars are from. Where is the tobacco grown, the filler, the wrapper, the binder? What type of tobacco is used? Etc... Once you figure that out you can explore more from that area then work on newer areas. My $.02 for free.
Wow, Scion. I've never had an RP 92 that lacked in flavor. Tastes differ, of course, so maybe what I taste in it, you don't. (And, of course, there would be other cigars whose flavors you would pick up better than I would.) Nonetheless, I'd give this cigar another try sometime.
LOL ... I was talking to the manager at the local B&M and said that I tasted a lot of nut in such and such cigar. So he says if I taste nut in a cigar, I'm kicking somebody's @$$. I had to ask ... How would you know what that kinda nut tasted like?
I am pretty new to cigars myself but I started buying online recently because I am stationed in South Korea. I looked into Cuban Crafters and was pleasantly surprised. I tried some Don Kikis (Red, Green, White and Brown) and really liked them. I got into them because they have combo deals on humidors. Not the greatest smokes ever but they are cheap and my buddies like them.
wasn't trying to advertise for anybody. I buy smokes from whatever site has the deals.
I can remove the post if it is really that offensive.
its not so much offensive as poor taste. I mean, this IS cigar.com's forum. to me thats like going into Burger King and talking very loudly about how AWESOME Wendy's is. no one is offended but the management at that establishment.
First let me say nice to see another oregonian here, I live in gresham which is less than a place that has cigar shops... theres a shop on 82nd called cascade, very nice people and has decent prices. I really haven't tried many cigars if any from your list.. I suggest you stop into cascade, it's across from best buy, well a little south towards toys r us... I usually pick what a smoke from cigar magazines or from reviews I see online. I've picked up a few from the reviews of urby and kuzi. I usually don't think about price unless they sticks or over 10 dollars, then I want to investigate..
