Help me stock my tupperdor

[Kreth]

I'm just getting into cigars, and I'm looking for suggestions on what to try. I'll probably be ordering a 75-100 count humidor later this week, and I'm thinking of stocking it with a mix of premium cigars and cheaper, everyday smokes.
So far, I've enjoyed RP Vintage 1990, Onyx Reserve, CAO Cameroon. I tend to like the look and taste of a maduro wrapper, but I won't turn my nose up at a good tasting corojo.
I'm waiting on the Romeo y Julieta sampler offered in this month's Golf Digest (just had to pay shipping) and I'm currently smoking my way through an RP sampler from CI, which includes: Olde World Reserve Corojo, Old World Reserve Maduro, Vintage 1990, Vintage 1992, Connecticut, and Edge Corojo.
Currently, I'm thinking of stocking some of the RP Vintage (maybe the 2nds) and Onyx Reserve. For cheaper smokes, I've heard good things about the Sancho Panza Double Maduro.
Any other suggestions? Also, I've mostly been going with toro and robusto sizes, which will be great for the golf course. What do some of you like for a quicker smoke? Smoking an entire toro with the current weather here in NY is a test of willpower.

Well, I personally love the Oliva O Serie, and would recommend it to anyone. The G is good too, and I'm in the process of acclimating a V to life here in Nebraska, then I can letcha know if she's as good as I hear, too. Also, a Montecristo Edmundo is good, and I personally like the Petit Edmundo for a short smoke. And, lastly, try an Ashton Seniorita- tough little sucker, but she's got my heart.

I love the Arturo Short Story still a classic...also the R an J RR Petite Robusto soo creamy

Unless you have a thing about status symbols, those RP seconds are great.

If you are looking to step up to something a bit stronger and fuller flavored, I would suggest the Camacho and La Flor Dominicana lines.

I have only had them once and I agree they are great. I rarely ever see them around where I am though.

My favorite cheaper smokes include:

ANY of the CI legends (especially the red label by Perdomo
LaCuna Bin 85
Onyx Reserve
Fonseca Cosacos

[lougorilla]

Try the Famous Nicaraguan 3000's. They are a really nice smoke for the price. I plan to order a bundle of those soon.

Thanks for the suggestions, guys. Between this thread and a post in my introduction thread, I have a "short" list of about 60 different smokes to try.
No comments on the Sanco Panzas?

I can't get them locally, so I think I'll have to pick up a 5-pack online to try.

RP seconds are great,,,try the SG if you can get them. Punch and Hoyo Roth's Maduro are tasty and inexpensive as well.

I have a couple of Punch sticks on my list, Rothschild and London. I added the Hoyo Roths, thanks!

If you are looking for everyday good value, I think the cigars coming out of Villazon fit the bill. The whole regular Punch line is top quality and very reasonable. Smokes like Excalibur, ERDM, Hoyo, etc are all good. And don't forget LGC Wavells, you can get the Miami version from Mike's. Also Padron Delicias. And if you want boutique that won't break the bank try thecubanshop.com in Miami---home of the famous La Tradition Cubana and also try islandsmokeshop in Key Largo. I love their Santiago Cabana line, and El Original. Happy smokin'.

This list keeps getting longer...
I'll check out the other shops. I have to admit I'm partial to CI and Famous, mainly due to them being in PA and me in NY. I ordered a sampler from CI and had it in 24 hours. Can't beat instant gratification...
