Recommend a Cuban

You may also want to look into the San Cristobal de La Habana line.

You gotta remember though that they are really! popular , so there you may have to rest the mont.4 for quite a while until they are smoke-able. Not to many boxes of mont.4 sitting around aging,,,,anywhere

The Monte # 4 is a good smoke, so are the Upmann Coronas Junior, or Coronas Major... I like the Cohiba Secretos Maduro, the Partagas Serie D, RyJ Short Churchill... the list goes on. Only one I would definitly say stay away from is the Guantanamera Machine Made garbage. Any other Cuban is fair game!

you cant go wrong pick any of them but once you go cuabn you will not go back!

no ??

little bit of this maybe?







oh..wait, when you sead "recommend a cuban" you meant the cigars right.? oh well in that case get some guantamaera's they are the most well constructed dog turds I have ever seen.

Now don't you be dissing those Guantanameras one mans dog rocket is another mans treasure, and as far as I am concerned those are a fine cigar for a summer evening watching you son mow the lawn.

I just realised that you are in Ontario, be prepared for sticker shock when you go to your local. The G's that used to be about 3 bucks a piece are now over 5 but they are still a good cigar.

oh I totally agree with you , they do not taste bad at all, you get that nice IOSM flavor. I go for the small sizes, the larger ones I find to be a little harsh. They just look like absolute crap

I'll second all of these, especially the HdM.

I'd stick with the 5x42-ish size for just starting out. Price is lower, smoke is decent sized and will allow you to sample all sorts of brands without breaking the bank. Maybe look at Upmann Regalias as well.

Ask to see the date stamp on the bottom of the box... I've had Cohibas with 3+ years on them right out of the humi at my B&M...plume and everything! You don't always have to age them, but if they have less than 1 year between the date stamp and when you get them, I'd highly recommend resting them until they're at least a year old. They get better, more balanced and mellower anywhere from 1 - 10 years of aging. Anything less than a year old is a little too young for my tastes, I've never had one rested for 10 years or more, but I hear they're great!
