Hello all,
I'm a new smoker and realized the allure of cigars a couple of months ago. I purchased a couple of brandy soaked and fell in love that night! I started with the sampler pack, and enjoyed them, but find myself in need of a recommendation.

I like a light to medium body with a good aroma. Cedar and wood scents would be great. Any ideas are very much appreciated! John

    That's probably one of the hardest questions in this hobby to answer.
    Everyone's tastes are so subjective.

    But since you like the brandy soaked infused, then you may want to check out CAO Flavours, Acid or Drew Estates line.

    As for cedar wood scents, cameroons or corojos? I don't know. But they are usually pretty good. LOL!

    What was the sample pack you got? What cigars in it did you like?

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    I think the 5 Vegas Sampler is a GREAT way to find your likes and dislikes. There are about 5 different samplers from 5 Vegas. This could be a starting point. I do agree with 0Patience tho. Taste is VERY subjective.

    Just jump in the deep end and have a Lito Gomez cigar. On an empty stomach. First thing in the AM.
