Need some advice

[Tfire136]

Ok guys I have run into a problem that I do not normally get myself into.......I can't decide on which box of smokes to buy lol. My wife gave me the go ahead to get myself a box of cigars as part of my fathers day gift  (she still don't know about the Padron 40th anniversary purchase ). For the first time I am torn on what to get. All weekend long I have been smoking my brains out to try and see what I really enjoy enough to buy a box of. I lit up a LFD Lancero which I had a line on to buy a box, but was really not all that impressed. Next I tried another Padilla Miami Corona which I was not crazy about the first time and still didn't like lol. I was looking at a box of Tatuaje Regios but again I am on the fence. I also wanted to consider a nice box of Cubans. To date the only Cuban that has knocked my socks off is the Diplomatico #2 everything else really has not "wowed" me like say an Anejo has in the past. The BBF I had the other day was good but again still not good enought to say "where is my credit card". I have heard great things about the Cohiba Robusto but never tried one so I am hesitant to drop 300$ on them. Just looking for some recomendations that you all may have. The only real serious box I am looking at is a box of La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurados Felicias Maduros. Latley I have craved a really smooth dark maduro in place of the real powerhouse smokes that I used to be fond of. Price is not to much of an issue (but it will be in a couple of weeks when I get out of the Army lol) but I would like to keep it around 225$.........so what do you say .

First thing that comes to mind is Ashton VSG, and you could get one of the larger sizes and drop some $, or one of the smaller sizes and then follow up w/ a box of A Fuente Chateau Fuente mad or sungrowns (Usually around $65).  Sounds like a great dilema to be in, enjoy!

Or Camacho Corojo & Gurkha Ancient Warrior.

Just saw a box of Trini Fundadores for $275 or a box of 15 Trini Robusto Extras for $199.  Haven't had the 2nd one but hear nothing but good things about them.

Not sure how old the Regios you had but I was on the fence as well until I had that Unicos this weekend.  Great smoke with some age on them.

One of the catalogs I got this weekend had 2 Opus Fuente specials. Each one had 5 to 8 rare and special Opus cigars. One package had a BBMF in it. I forgot with the other sticks are or whatthe other package contained. It came in a specialty box and the cigars are dated. They were asking 90 per package or 170-ish for the both of them. If you like Opus, this seems like a deal.

 

I think it was famous that had it.

Headly where did you see the Trini Fundadores?

How about a box of Fuente Cuban Beli's SunGrown.

Tony,  I'd say go with a box of BBF's or Dip No2's.  Both are great out of the box, but aged that are tremendous.

 

You know what, I was going to send you a package anyways, so I'll include one of each that are around 2 years old.  I'm sure once you try the BBF you will bot be able to find you credit card fast enough.

PM me your addy.

I say go for the LGCs you were looking at, especially if you know you'll enjoy them.
