Re: graduating from a noob

Try moving up to Maduros. Try the Oliva Serie O Maduro. Another that recently tried was a Sancho Panza Double Maduro (great medium strength cigar). Also the Padrons might tickle your fancy. If you don't like Maduros, Tats, Ashton VSG or Camacho's are also a great cigars.

Re: graduating from a noob

5 Vegas Classic or Serie A should be a nice step up.

The classic I think is still mild.

Id say an Oliva Series V, Padron 5000, Nub Habano/Maduro, CAO Italia/Brazilia, Alec Bradley Tempus

CAO italia is a great step up. kristoff is great. do you want to try something bolder, or spicier.

Re: graduating from a noob

Oliva series V may be too big of a jump, I would try sampling some of your favorites in maduro form, also some don pepin blends would be a nice step.
