Good samplers
Alright everybody I'm pretty new to this forum.. Ive only been smoking for about a year but really enjoy it.

I was just wondering what some of the good samplers are so I can try a wide variety of cigars and find one that I really like.

Which ones do you suggest?

Re: Good samplers
What kind of cigars do you like (mild, med, full)? How much would you be looking to spend? There are a lot of nice samplers out there.

Re: Good samplers
I'm not exactly sure what kind of cigar I like yet. I've had a few montecristos that were good but I cant remember what kind. I want to try quite a few different types so I know what I really like.

Price does not really matter but I would prefer if it was not outrageously expensive.

Re: Good samplers
I would start with the Oliva line. They are great cigars with different flavor profiles. Not too expensive at all either. Try 'em out.

Re: Good samplers
Montecristo also has the Afrique line of cigar as well, but if you like Monte' you should also give Romeo y Julieta a try, if you don't mind the $7-8 bucks a stick at most B&M's. Another good brand to try, and a little more affordable, is the El Rey De Mundo line. For something a little more flavorful (Med. to full) I gotta recommend Rocky Patel Vintage, Montecristo Media Noche, and Padron. After all that get yourself at least two Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Diplomaticos. All come in sampler packs, check CBID, CI, and JRCigar for starters.

Welcome my friend, and happy hunting.

Re: Good samplers
Keep an eye on the WTT, WTS forum. There are always some fellow Puffers selling samplers.
