Looking for suggestions on my first CC purchase. Looking to purchase in the next couple months (whenever I get my bonus). I have a couple sites to check out, but not sure where to start. I am thinking I want to spend no more than $250 for a box. I know almost nothing about CC's other than most people tell me to check out Bolivar, Cohiba Siglo III and Partagas Serie D (I think that is what it is called...PSD4?).

Thanks,

Buy a few different 3-packs until you find the marca and vitolas you like.

Thanks. Any specific ones you suggest to try first? Like I said, I am clueless on CC's. I have had a few, and wasn't overly impressed with them. The one I remember was a HdM I think...

Start with Guantamera. That way you get the crap out of the way first.


Seriously though, everyone's tastes are different. What I like might not have a profile you are interested in, or vice versa, so blind recommendations might be pointless.

Thanks. On the two sites I have, I don't see where you can get 3 packs. Everything is just sold in boxes. Maybe I am not looking in the right place or something. Or I have different sites than others.

Bolivar Belicoso Fino.

Received a lot of different ones lately. Partagas 898, Diplomatico #2, RASS - all of those will need plenty of humi rest. Also RJ Short Churchill and ERDM, which tasted pretty good, but should get some rest, just not as much as the other three mentioned.
The Bolivar I received, and it took over a month to arrive, I couldn't even wait a week try one, and it was f'ing fantastic. I was practically drooling. Great strength and very much all about that Cuban flavor. It is just going to get more killer with time. The others I can tell will take a while to reach anywhere near the level the Bolivar is just curently at.

I may have to try that Boliver. Fits well into my price range and I have heard nothing but good things about their lines

If anyone else has a suggestion or knows where I can get the 3 packs people mentioned, let me know.
