Smile Hailing from California
Hello all,

Just thought I would write a short introduction. My name is Ron and I live in Los Angeles. I've been smokeing cigars off and on for the last 10 years. I used to smoke a cigar called Oscar, but it dissapeared from the market. When I got back into full time cigar smokeing in April, I visited all of the lounges in my area, got to know when they have in the humidor, and started sampling. Half of the fun for me is takeing sample cigars home, putting them in one of my 5 humidors, and waiting for the mood to come to smoke one. I'm up to 25 or so cigars that I smoke in rotation now. The main ones being Illusione, Tatuaje, Gran Habano Corojo #5, Rocky Patell (The Edge Maduro), Camacho Corojo, and Alec Bradley Tempus (STRONGLY RECOMEND THAT LINE). I can never resist the temptation to go into a cigar store and look around to see if anything strikes me to take home. I'm looking now to further expand into the Cuban market, but not sure where to start.... any recomendations?

Welcome to C/L, mate! As for ISOM recommendations, I'd say that the following are what each brand would have as a "signature" cigar:

Bolivar: Petit Coronas, Belicosos Finos, Royal Coronas, Coronas Gigantes
Cohiba: Espléndidos, Robustos, Lanceros, Siglo III, Siglo VI
Cuaba: Salomones, Exclusivos
El Rey del Mundo: Choix Supreme, Tainos
Fonseca: Cadetes
H. Upmann: Connoisseur No. 1, Magnum 46
Hoyo de Monterrey: Epicure No. 1, Epicure No. 2, Doble Corona, Le Hoyo du Roi
Juan Lopez: Seleccion No. 1, Seleccion No. 2
La Gloria Cubana: Medaille d'Or No. 2
Montecristo: No. 2, No. 4, Especial, Petit Edmundo
Partagas: Shorts, Serie D No. 4, 8-9-8 Varnished, Lusitanias, Charlottes
Por Larranga: Petit Corona
Punch: Punch-Punch, Super Seleccion No. 1
Ramon Allones: Specially Selected, Gigantes, Small Club Coronas
Romeo y Julieta: Cazadores, Churchill, Prince of Wales
San Cristobal de la Habana: El Principe
Saint Luis Rey: Petit Corona, Serie A, Churchill
Sancho Panza: Non Plus, Sanchos
Trinidad: Reyes, Fundadore, Robusto Extra
Vegas Robaina: Famosos

These latter are not each brands non plus ultra, but are cigars ye can use to compare another's (from the same maker) flavour. Hope it helps.
