I am new to this board, I am 19, and I have been smoking cigars since my 18th birthday. I really like them a lot, but i am a weekend smoker.
The first box i purchased was some Sinatra Churchills from Thompson's, I thouroughly enjoyed them and am considering buying some more in another shape (belicosos). I thouroughly like Macanudos (doesnt everyone) but i find them somewhat dull, maybe just a little too mild.
A friend went to Panama a few weeks ago and brought me back 25 (10 of which i sold to a friend) Bolivar Belicosos Finos. I really love thse, but they are just a little too full bodied for all teh time, also I want to age them.
I recently bought 2 boxes of what I would call Off brand cigars, from Thompson's that I really like so far. I bought Miraflor topedos, smooth relaxing smoke, perfect draw, good construction, a really wonderful cigar, and for about $2 apeice, quite good value. Its no Romeo y Julieta, but it is damned good.
I also go some Nostalgia Coronas, which I enjoy, but am not completely impressed with. the draw is a little tight, but not bad. these babys stay lit perfectly though. An excellent choice for the golf course.
I think my next purchase will be the "lucky 7 humidor" from thompson's, for $150, to give some backup to my 50 cigar desk humidor. I am looking to expand my stock of cigars, and while I love teh super premiums, i simply couldn't afford to stock a bunch of them in a humidor, and I would have reservations about giving them away and smoking them myself.
What do you guys like for middle of the road cigars that cost maybe $50-75 per 25? What woudl you reccomend? I like medium bodied cigars, but have never really tried maduros.
Thanks.
