Thinking about buying my 1st box

[Thurm15]

I'm thinking about purchasing my first box. I really like the El Rey del mundo Robsuto's at $60 a box but then I found a box of Oliva Masterblends Torpedo at a really good price on one of the auction sites. Anybody got an opinion on which way to go on a box of medium to Full in the 50-80 $ range? Thanks

I think that the La Aroma de Cuba is around that price, I really liked them. My local shop gets them sporadically.

ERDM robusto's are excellent, never had the La Aroma de Cuba that 909 suggested but I'm sure their a good choice too. Gran Habano # 5's get excellent reviews also. Padron 3000's are really good in that price range also.

I'm sure you'll get a ton more suggestions from the guys here thurm..

totally agree with Floydp, the ERRM is pretty good, but if it was me i would diffinately go with some Padron 3000...

Thanks for the tips. Man, a box of Masterblend Torpedo's for 82.00 at cigarauctioneer with 2 mins to go. Its tempting but never tried em. Nice box though.

I really like these smokes. My local shop always has them, and when I want a good smoke at a great price, these are the ones I go with. I have a few of those ERDM's sitting in my humi from a box split. Havent tried one yet, but if they are half as good as the hype, I think I will be happy.

try the Cigar.com Cuban Label or Cameroon!!! The price is right, and they have been GREAT cigars everytime!!!

I smoked a Fonseca Vintage robusto a coupla days ago & it just blew me away. They are $69.95 a box of 20 at Famous.

You could do a lot worse than this cigar.

Can't go wrong with Padron's.

Padron's are always a safe bet! The La Aroma De Cubas are also excellent smokes.

Those are some fantastic smokes! Luckily, my local guy keeps them in stock, but, sadly, he also charges a buck a stick more than suggested retail!

You can't go wrong with the ERDMs. I've had the Robustos and Rothschildes. Both of them are excellent smokes at reasonable prices.

All of the above!

ERDM, GH #5, LAdC, Padron 3KM, Oliva Master blend are excellent cigars. Given the choice today, I would probably pick the ERDM Robusto or Robusto Larga but I would likely give you an entirely different answer in a week or less. You really can't go wrong with the suggested cigars though. I will have to try those Fonseca Vintage robustos Kansashat.

Speaking of LAdC, I just recently discovered they were made by Ashton. The Robusto is great in these, but I also really like the Pyramid and Corona Minor.

Great suggestions I know 4 of them well.

GH # 5 - These are real strong young - Might hurt ya.
ERDM RL - Med/Strong with full flavor but you gotta have the palate for it.
Padron - 3000 - Got that woody strength
OMB - smooth and sneaky full

If it were me OMB but I'm a wuss.

Sure you don't want a sampler then decide?

I've smoked a couple of ERDM RL and loved em. That's what I'm thinkin of getting but then I saw a box of those OMB up for bid for 82 bucks and I've heard some good reviews but balked because I've never had em. Got a La Aroma De Cuba sittin it the Humi and I'll go to the shop and try a P3000 before I make up my mind. Thanks for all the input fella's.
