I agree to a point, personally I feel the Cusano has a good deal of flavor for a mild cigar, I like it just as much as the 5V Gold. Of course, personal preference plays a part, different smokes for different folks. Either way, I don't think one can go wrong with any of those, they are all worth the asking price IMO.
OK forum guys will try this one again.
Capsfanx, I am looking to help a newb out. This is one of the greatest hobbies out there because it makes you slow down, take a time out and enjoy one of the finest pleasures I have been introduced to, CIGARS. I have a 100 -125 count humidor that I have outgrown if you PM me your address I will send it out to you, soon hopefully, and if you like it keep it and send me the cost of postage. 'Tis the CHRISTMAS season. If you do keep it and enjoy it, until you outgrow it, all I ask is that you do the same and send it onto the next budding enthusist. I will include a PARADIEM humidifier and will charge it before sending it out to you so it should be ready to go from day one.
Anyway, welcome to this forum and the world of cigars. Sit back, relax and enjoy.

Fonseca?!?!?! run, dont walk from that cigar! Just kidding about that. When starting off try not to overload yourself with cigars. Buy three singles of the same cigar, stick with the most popular brands, fuente, padron, perdomo, cusano, rocky, ashton, olivia, camacho, etc. Try not to buy a box of cigars you may regret it later on. Take your time, figure out what flavors you like in a cigar the size of the cigar and go from there. Oh, matches are good to use, just remember to let the sulphur burn off before lighting the cigar.
I am still relatively new to cigars, and what really helped me to appreciate cigars more was to read (believe it or not) Idiots Guide to Cigars. This is a great book for the cigar begininer. It is totally geared toward the noob. It teaches you about all the different kinds of cigars, how to cut, light, cigar lingo, how to taste a cigar, etc...I have been passing it around with all my other cigar buddies and they say the samething. You can pick it up at Amazon.
better than 50-50 it could be a fake cohiba- but,,, having said that your friend in the navy proably had a good chance of getting his hands on the real thing if he is visiting different ports. the are several good sites you can google if you still have the band or a photogenic memory that will tell you what to look for on a fake versus the real deal.
another sign is the number of rows of blocks above a certain area- if you can get another from him it will be easy to tell from the info available on the net- even if he can email you a pic of the band
