Which samplers?

I'm new to cigars and just ordered the "Untouchable Ten" sampler. I'm curious as to what you guys think about the different samplers cigar.com offer. Any ideas on what I should order next?

Thanks

welcome

well being new and not knowing what you like, its kinda all trial and error.
personaly when i was getting started i picked up a sampler (dont remember which one) that had cigars from a few different brands.

i ended up not likeing half of them but part of figuring out what you do like is knowing what you dont

there are great samplers in all of the price ranges. just pull the trigger on one that fits your budget.

good luck

Just buy something from the daily deal each day for seven days and then get a bigger humi. Problem solved, we are here to help. LOL

...or, spend a week at Gypsy's house and he will lead you down the right path.

The House Blend Sampler will give you a good, clear variety of smokes. The best of 2010 Sampler will make you want to spend much more money on cigars.

Being new myself, I didn't really know where to start either. I had tried a few smokes in the past, so I had a couple of brands that I thought I liked. Here's a few of the samplers that I picked up:
Super Premium 6
Acid Sampler II
Honduran Sampler, Medium
Nicaraguan Sampler II
Box-Pressed Blender
Awards Montage
I figure this will give me a decent variety so I can try a little of everything. I also lurked on the forums for a while and picked up a couple of "cheaper" cigars that people here really seemed to like.

I started out with the house blend sampler a year ago. It gave me an idea on what types of wrappers and fillers I might like. I actually just got another house blend sampler a couple of weeks ago in the corona size to try them again. The AJF All Star Corona Sampler is another good one. I got another one of those a few weeks back as well. If you end up with extra's out of a sampler you don't like you can always put them up for trade for ones you do end up liking.

I like these samplers
Padilla's Collected Works Sampler
Best of Nicaragua Sampler II
Diesel High Octane Sampler (maybe wait a month or three on this one)

Thanks for all the help. I'll refer back to this thread for my next purchase.

I've got another question for you guys.
What's an inexpensive, respectable cigar I can give out to guests? I don't want to be cheap, but I'm a college student and can't afford to pass out a handfull of 8 dollar cigars. I need something from 3 to 5 dollars that people will enjoy.

There are many good $2 sticks available. Sticks like Gran Habano V2002

I've come to enjoy the 5 Vegas Classics as well. Not that expensive, but a good smoke.

Gran Habano, 5 Vegas classic, try AJ Fenandez fresh rolled, house blends. Lots of good 2 - 3 $ cigars out there right now. Buyers market.

Y'know, that's a brilliant solution! I was puzzling over which samplers are best/most diversified/best deal etc., but I don't think you can beat that.
And, welcome!:)

Recommend the Dirty dozen II sampler as well.

Hands down: Super Premium Six Dbl Stack Sampler but tack it on to a DOD so you get the free shipping!

I recommend the 90+ Rated sampler. My fiance bought me two of those for Christmas as I had just received my first humi. Great variety of smokes, you won't be dissapointed.

With the sprint sale I have seen house blends go for $30 so $.150 per stick. I would buy the house blend sampler or better order 2 and call in. Ask if one can be robust and the other the corona. Then once you worked out your favs, buy a couple boxes on the sprintsale. I also like the AJ dirty dozenII
