Help me find my perfect cigar...

I'm looking for my perfect daily go to cigar. It's just that there are just so darn many cigars out there for me to try. Do you know of a cigar that matches the following critera?

1. Non-cuban.
2. An online price of around $3 or less per stick.
3. Smaller ring guage, 46 at the largest.
4. Mixed filler is ok.
5. Has a taste profile that can be described as a strong floral flavor, slight hints of grass or cedar, with little to no pepper or spice.


Of the cigars I've tried the Padilla Series 68 Lancero comes the closest. It's just too expensive to be a daily smoke.

I don't know if it fits them all but I think the Padron Londres is a great daily cigar. At approx. $2.30 a stick.

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

The Padron Londres will probably be my next box purchase.

I'll have to try the standard Sancho Panza's.

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

Ever try a CAO gold? Not sure the flavor profile is exactly what you want, but they tend to come in smaller ring sizes and I love em!

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

That is so opposite of my taste. I wouldn't know where to begin.

Sorry

Not my cup of tea, either.
So I'll ignore the criteria and just say my
favorite "value" cigars are JR Ultimates.

I have tried several times to get these on CB for $2 and cannot make it happen. I really want to try them but just cannot over bid. It seems like everyone else will

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

Try a little La Carolina - very floral, but you won't like it if you dislike sweetened tips. You can get them from Cuban Crafters.

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

Tatuaje Series P should fit those criteria. Mixed filler, but they're damned cheap and damned good. I found sweet cedary and floral notes to them with no pepper, but that might just be me. Their Corona Gorda is a proper corona gorda, so it's 46x5.5, and they also have smaller sizes.

Fuente Spanish lonsdales have that light kind of cedary fuente tase, only about 3.50 apiece or cheaper by the box.

Re: Help me find my perfect cigar...

Ambos Mundos is another tatuaje line that is very cheap, and the same wrapper and filler is used from the Havana and Cabinet series.
