First, I've not been smoking cigars more than a year, so I don't have a ton of experience.

I smoke RP almost exclusively, but I feel like I'm missing out; but I'd hate to waste money on a cigar I don't like.

I found the Rocky Patel Cargo and fell in love with the flavor and the draw.

Then, the 1990 Vintage.

Now, I'm more into Decade and the stronger RPs.

The Decade is easily my favorite cigar right now, with the 1990 Vintage in second, followed by the Royal Vintage.

I'm wondering if there's a brand you'd consider comparable that you'd suggest I try?

Thanks for any tips and / or advice.

Youre new you are going to buy a lot of cigars some you might like, love, not like or hate. Only way to find out is to buy them. Read through different posts she what people are buying, trading, sending, or asking for. My only advice is to stick with lower priced cigars in the beginning, there are plenty.

If you like the RP Cargo, you would save money buying White Owls.

Try AJ Fernandez stuff. Cheap and decent. I don't care for em but it was a maker I once enjoyed as I moved past the entry level stuff.

Remember, losing a bid is a sign of weakness! ram27bat

But in all seriousness, depending on your budget, expand your smokes to perhaps:

A. Fuente 8-5-8 - Natural or Maduro
Man 'O War Puro Authentico - I prefer the Maduro
Man 'O War Side Project Little Devil
My Father Le Bijou 1922
Nica Libre - maybe a bit strong but good on the wallet
Oliva Serie G or O
Padron X000 series

Of course ymmv. Have fun.
