what cigars to purchase?

shamrocked

so i received a mail in rebate for $150 and i am looking to purchase some cigars - i have been into the hobby for about 4 months and this will be my largest purchase to date. so far my fav cigars that i have tried are rp vintage 1990, nica libre, cao brazilia, and the a fernandez sig line. i tend to like a medium-full bodied cigar. what would be some recommendations? i am thinking about buying a couple dotd packs with the order and maybe some of the house brazilian labels. i am interested in trying something in the 5 vegas and perdomo lines - also, any recommendations for moderately priced boxed purchases? thanks for the info.

For box purchases, go with the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte, you can normally get them for between $40-$60. If you dig the Nica Libre, I'm almost certain you'll like them. The Nica Libres are another one that would make a good box purchase too though, I believe they are around the same price. You said you liked the AJ Fernandez signature line, I highly reccomend the Diesels as well then. Boxes of 30 are $100, not too bad of a price on those. Or even if you just get a 5-pack or whatever, you really should give those a try. Definately give the ccom Brazilian label a whirl too, and based on the other cigars you said you like, I would go with the 5 Vegas A for the 5 Vegas line. As far as Perdomo, the ESV's are my favorite from them, and you can get a bundle of the 2nds for around $40 if I remember right. So, for $150 you could get a box of IT Super Fuerte or Nica Libres, a bundle of Perdomo ESV 2nds, and a few each of 5 Vegas A, Diesels, and Ccom Brazilian Labels.

thanks for all of the input so far ... i can prob fit another 20-30 cigars in my humi but i can make some room for more in the mean time. i think i am going to call in this order since i have heard some great things about ordering this way compared to online ordering - except i noticed you do get a free sampler with an order of $125 or more

If I had $150, I'd go with two build-your-own samplers ($49.95 each if you get two) and a bundle of RP vintage 92 segundos.

Ashton VSG's should be on your list.

The A. Fernandez Signature is definently one of my favorite cigars as well, so I would probably reccommend Don Pepin Garcia Blue Label and Cuban Classic, and Oliva Serie V. If I were you I would probably go for the new Diesels as well. I haven't had one yet but I hear they're great.

thanks for all of the suggestions so far -- i am going to try calling today but it is hard to make it in time with work and not getting off until right before they close (i am on pst) - i am thinking about two of the daily deal packs today - some ccom brazilian labels, diesels, a tin of the cao mx2, and then up in the air still on don pepin, other a fernandez lines, oliva, and maybe some more cao tins - just because i might want some quicker smokes with fall/winter coming up

okay so ended up calling and making my purchase today ... this is what i decided on - 1 tin of cao brazilia 4x38, 1 tin of cao mx2 4x38, 5 diesels, 5 sancho panza extra fuertes, 2 5 vegas limitada 2009 daily deals, and a punch cutter - didn't end up spending all $150 but thanks for everyones input
