5 Vegas Series 'A' and Famous Nic 3000 are GREAT cigars. Why not try a 5 Vegas Gold Nuggets, another great mild any time of day cigar.

If you have room to keep them, I'd leave 'em sit for 6-12 months and try them again. It would be interesting to see this list again when they've aged.

Perdomo 2 Milenario 'Mistakes' Cameroon Quite good after 6-9 months. Very pleasant, but you seem to like stronger smokes. One of my favorite cheapie cigars.

Sticks that are decent, but that I won't buy again:
El Major Espresso Torpedo Also quite good after 6-9 months. Maybe too cedar-y for you? Or not strong enuf? My only complaint is the occasional tight draw.
Legend Series Peping Garcia
Legend Series Perdomo Same comment as Perdomo 2 Mistakes.
Serie '55' by Victor Sinclair Toro (any label)
Vintage by Rocky Patel 1990 Torpedo
Ghurka Grand Age Perfecto
Aston VSG Torpedo
Oliva Serie 'O' Perfecto

Sticks that I would buy again:
OneOff Campagna Pyramid
Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 Consul Agree
Pailla Hybrid Robusto Agree
Padron 1926 Torpedo

Sticks that I will actively seek out and buy again:
Legend Series Graycliff
5 Vegas Series 'A' (any size) Agree - excellent smoke for the $.
Famous Nic 3000 Same as above & then some.

I would like to hear feedback, both positive and negative, on my ratings. I know full well my noob tastes are less refined than some of the other gorillas here, so if I missed the boat on a few of these, please let me know. dan

I've got some nuggets in from that CBid Vegas sampler special. I'll have to get a couple out and give them a shot. Thanks!

My 12qt cooler is about 50% full, so I have room to store them. I'll give them a chance to sit around a while. Thanks!

Re: Several Ratings From a Lazy Noob

you may have gotten a bad batch of the RP's if they came from Cbid. i had a 10 pack of Gurkha Genghis Khan's and they were the worst cigar i have ever had and some other people who have had then stated i may have gotten a bad batch.
i dunno but the devil site seems to go to be true sometimes.

That may be the case, because the two Edge that I tried were terrible, and I know that alot of members here rave about them. Thanks.
