Puff Cigar Discussion Forums

My awesome wife and daughter are going out of town next week for a few days to visit some friends (Dad's gotta stay home and work). We're on a really, really tight budget as we're saving up for another adoption (see my post in the Newest Newb part III thread here: http://www.clubstogie.com/vb/showpos...3&postcount=36 if you want more details), but I've had a twenty dollar bill just sitting in the cup holder in my car for months and months and months. My wife seems to think that I should use it to treat myself to a few cigars while they are gone (I told you she was awesome). Sounds like a great plan, huh? I mean, I won't be on Dirty Diaper Patrol in the evenings so I can just relax on the deck with the dogs and maybe a Braves game on the radio and I can watch the sunset...and...er...I'll probably remember how much I miss them and break down in a sobbing heap! They've never been gone for this many days before!!! What am I gonna do!!!!! Oops, sorry about that. I lost myself there for a minute. Let me just wipe my eyes here...I must have gotten some dust or an eyelash or something in them...there, I'm better now!

Ahem!

Ok. As I'm pretty new to this, I was looking for a few recommendations on how I should effectively and enjoyably spend this money. I'd like to get 5 or 6 or so cigars and maybe have one or two each evening after work. In the recent past, I have really enjoyed a Sancho Panza Double Maduro and a Fuente Flor Fina 8-5-8. I also had an Alcazar #5 that...well, things just didn't work out between us. We're seeing other people now.

I'd guess my tastes right now are going more towards the medium range of taste and body, but I'm guessing because I'm still trying to figure out what I like. Any and all suggestions and advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
