A little help please...Which sampler should I buy?

hardbuck

I'm pretty new to this but I am quite enthusiastic. Problem is there are so many choices I was hoping some of you "experts" would give me a suggestion on a sampler to try.

What I like so far

As I am currently out of the US I have been able to enjoy two brands of Cubans: Romeo y Julietta #2 and Montecristo #2. Both are amazing.

What I've ordered

So far I have ordered a Rocky Patel variety sampler as I hear they are a good brand.

I have also ordered a Nica Libre assortment although I hear you should age those a bit.

 

Any recommendations? I value your time and opinion.

There is not really a price limit for known quality IMO. However, I am trying to stay a bit modest until I hone in on something I like. Thanks for the input.

There is also an option to build your own sampler by going to samplers - Custom Sampler. I believe there are at least 100 cigars to choose from. I have done this a few times to try stuff that I wasn't sure of and didn't want to buy 5 packs.

Thanks for the recs. I just got the AJ dozen as well as the DPG 90+ sampler. They also threw in a Rocky Patel 5 sampler so that was a nice little bonus. I'm pretty excited about what is waiting for me in the humidor when I get home. O yeah, I'm excited to see the wife also^^

I think ccom has a best of 09 sampler out there that I really enjoyed. Giving a FULL array of different sticks in price ranges, flavors, body, strength and sizes. Nothing quite sums up the entire world of cigars like that sampler. However, you are a little spoiled in that RyJ and a Monte#2 are fantastic cigars that just about everyone would take a box of if they had the money. Good luck!

Those are all excellent choices, I think you're gonna be completely psyched.

I just started a fews months ago also. My 1st sampler was the tin man sampler. I was very happy with it, I would buy it again.
