Maduro sampler

alienmisprint

I am putting together a custom sampler of mostly maduros on this site to order. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on ones I should maybe switch for something else or if it looks pretty good as is. Any opinions are welcome. What I am looking at is:

	5 Vegas Series 'A', Alpha (Torpedo), Maduro
	CAO 'VR', Cathedral (Torpedo), Maduro
	CAO Brazilia, Gol, Maduro
	Cusano 18 Paired Maduro, Robusto, Double Maduro
	Edge By Rocky Patel, Toro Maduro, Maduro
	Gurkha Regent, Toro, Habano
	Gurkha Fuerte, Toro, Habano
	Natural by Drew Estate, , Maduro
	Natural by Drew Estate, Ltd. Ed. Irish Hops, Habano
	Natural by Drew Estate, Pimp Stick (Ltd. Ed.), Habano
	Perdomo Lot 23, Toro, Maduro
	Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, Mini Belicoso (Cigar.com Exclusive), Maduro

 

The exceptions here are the Gurkhas (but I have heard great things about the Regent and the Fuerte just looks really good) and the Naturals, but I really want to try those as well. I also have a Rocky Patel Fusion Double Maduro in my basket, it isn't an option in the custom sampler here. Thanks for any input!

If you're talking maduro cigars, then I don't think the Onyx can be skipped. One of the best maduros I've had.

I'd sub the Montecristo Media Noche for one of those Drew Estates cigars.

Thank you all for the input. From your suggestions I have altered the list to this:

5 Vegas Series 'A', Alpha (Torpedo), Maduro

Cusano 18 Paired Maduro, Robusto, Double Maduro

Gurkha Legend, Perfecto, Maduro

Gurkha Regent, Toro, Habano

Gurkha Fuerte, Toro, Habano

Montecristo Media Noche, No. 2, Maduro

Natural by Drew Estate, , Maduro

Natural by Drew Estate, Ltd. Ed. Irish Hops, Habano

Natural by Drew Estate, Pimp Stick (Ltd. Ed.), Habano

Rocky Patel Olde World, Toro, Maduro

Perdomo Lot 23, Toro, Maduro

Rocky Patel Vintage 1990, Mini Belicoso (Cigar.com Exclusive), Maduro

I also have the RP Double Maduro and the Onyx in my basket.

I know alot of people are anti-infused cigars, but I really do enjoy the ones I have had so far, and have read and heard alot of good things about the Natural line. Once again, I appreciate the advice everybody, my mouth is watering right now, lol.

That's a great sampler, alien. I haven't had all of them, but the ones I have had -- the 5 Vegas, Cusano, Gurkha Fuerte, Monte, RP Double Maduro, and Onyx -- have all been excellent. And they show off the variety of the maduro wrapper, from quite sweet (Cusano) to very savory (Onyx), and lots of variations in between.

Awesome, thanks for the input. That is pretty much what I was going for, a good sampling of different types of maduros. Out of the few cigars I have had, I really have preferred the maduros the most. I am kinda stuck with bumming out here, there are no B&Ms and the only place that has cigars only has a couple of the cheaper Arturo Fuente and Romeo and Juliets.

 

I have had a few of the Thompson house blend maduros (one of them was okay, kinda crappy burn, but a decent draw and okay flavor), an Oliva Serie G Maduro which I really liked, and a Graycliff 1666 torpedo which I really enjoyed. So, for this purchase, I wanted to get a few I haven't tried at all and see where I go from there. Again, thanks everyone for the input.

Forget the humidor...do you have an empty room you can convert? Or a wife you can disown to free up room to convert?

I have had the Graycliff 1666 and I have another one its way here right now. I am mainly trying to get a bunch in this sampler that I haven't tried before so I know what to buy in larger quantities in the future. I agree with you though, the Graycliff was pretty good. I will definately keep a couple of them in my humidor.

I was waiting for you to chime in, lol, with your screen name I figured you would've been one of the first. I was going to add it, but then someone else mentioned the CAO's I had in my previous list weren't beginner smokes, so I figured the MX2 might fall into that category as well. Oh well, I'm putting one in the basket, I'll just smoke it last out of all the rest of them. After I get through this sampler, I don't think I'll be a "newbie" anymore, lol.

alienmisprint

Nope, wife is as broke as I am, lol. And I figured I was doing good marrying me a college girl, oh well.

IMO,, if you liked the 1666 you will like the CAO Brazalia as much, but lets wait on more explanation on the whole "beginner" issue,, I agree you should try to sample some you dont have or havent tried,
