relatively new to cigars, so far Macanudo Robusto's seem to do the trick for me. However after cruising around on here & drinking beer late one night I ended up with:

2 Rocky patel vintage 1990
2 Ghurka Anciet Warriors
1 Gurkha ancient age
8 Macanudo Madura Crystal
1 playboy double corona
2 onyx reserve (have had these, nothing special but still pretty good.)

What the hell did I get, They all look good.  Still trying to figure out what I like though.

DO NOT LIKE any so far of the Don Kiki's that came w/ the new Humidor, seem like poor construction, not bad but no real taste, don't burn evenly. Tried to finish one last night & wouldn't stay lit, got hot, you name it.  Nasty.

How did I do w/ the above?

Smoke'm while you got them.

I do agree that ordering while drinking, not good. But I've found that Cigar International is a good source for quality gars at a good price.

Got these from the famous smoke shop here in PA. had them in two days w/out any extra shipping charges. will have to check them out though. I think I'm giving away the rest of these Don Kiki's.  I may not be a true aficionado, but they suck.

Give them a few months in the bottom of the humidor before you get rid of them.

That has sometimes been known to perk them up a little

I live 10 min from Famous, they have some good cigars for low $$$.  Have you ever been to the show room?

Not sure where easton is. I'm close to Altoona though & a new Cigar lounge opened up. Going to check them out today.  Smoked the Rocky Patel 1990 vintage last night. Pretty damn good.

20 min due east of Allentown right on the PA/NJ border (thankfully on the free side).  We have both Famous and CI right here in the valley for large cigar stores that also mail order.

Other than the Macanudos and the Playboy, those are all solid sticks.

I dunno, I had the rocky patel last night & it was very good. Had the Macanudo maduro crystal tonight & it was pretty damn good as well.  

The Playboy, we shall see. I've seen mixed reviews.  I'm not a snob. I am new to Cigars but if they are like wine I can be as happy w/ a $200 bottle or a $12 box-o-wine.

The Rocky was excellent, but I burnt my fingers on the Macanudo.

I threw out the Don Kiki's, I tried another & compared to what I've had recently it's like sucking on a tit through a sheet. Not very satisfying. I won't even give them away.

Ratters, I apologize & bow to your wisdom. The playboy looked like a cigar, smelled like a cigar, & tasted like I would expect a cat turd to taste. Can't help it, thats the first thing that came to mind.  I chucked it in a mud puddle a 1/4 of the way into it.
