Im pretty new to the cigar world, and am in the process of buying small amounts of varying brands\type\styles. What do you aficianados think of this for a buy:

2 Cremosa Cubana Toro
3 Pirate's Gold by Rolando Reyes Corona Maduro
2 Cupido Criollo Corto
2 CAO Criolla Mancha
1 Torano Signature Robusto
1 Torano Exodus Silver Corona Extra
1 H. Upmann Grande Maduro Tubos

for about $25

Any suggestions\advie? Thanks

most of my cigar info comes from cbid and cintl writeups\blurbs, so if any of those are less than decent, thats the info im lookig for 😉 Thanks!

that works out to about 2 bucks a stick....i say you did O.K. considering some of the sticks at the end of your list are around $3-5 at my local place

I think you did pretty well. Nice deal.

You also picked up some nice smokes. Pirate's Gold Maduro is one of my chosen go-to smokes, CAO Criollo is a nice full-bodied Cuban-style cigar, Torano Signatures are awesome, and I like the Exodus Silver better than the normal Exodus line.

Ditto! Looks good from here - can't beat those Carlos Toranos!!! should provide a nice variety for you

Absolutplayer: A couple of suggestions. When you're first starting to smoke cigars, glue the band of a cigar you've smoked into a notebook with your comments. You'll be surprised at how quickly you'll forget whether you liked a cigar or not. If you're looking for "go to" cigars for future purchase, avoid buying those that are out of production, like Pirate's Gold. You may find that you love them, but can't find them. Here is a cigar truism, and you may quote me: The greatest cigar you will ever smoke will be the most difficult to re-acquire, either because of scarcity or because they are no longer made.
