Cigars to try? Too many to list.
But, I'd just pass on any RP, Gurkhas, Greycliff, and the like.
Most of AJs stuff is pretty decent.
Oliva makes good, not too spendy cigars......Master Blends 3 is a staple for many of us here.
Almost anything from DPG, LFD, Padron maddies, many different Fuentes, Tatuaje, Crowned Heads, Illusione, and so on.
Maybe get in on a noob trade in a few months.
