Does anyone have a suggestion for some of the samplers up for auction right now? Here are some of the characteristics that I've been preferring as of late: creamy, buttery, chocolaty, etc. Medium to full-bodied.

Not looking for someone to tell me which cigars have those characteristics, just looking for a recommendation from someone that's been around the block a few more times than me.

Thanks.

Its not a sampler, but the Nestor Reserve Torpedo is up on auction right now. I believe the 5pk and the bundles are available. They are AMAZING full-bodied cigars. Very creamy and quite tasty.

Shhhhh

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also wanting to try some of those Fidalgo Negros. Any words on those from anyone?

The "you're hired" sampler here in Cbid looked great! Why look no further?

"creamy, buttery, chocolaty, etc. Medium to full-bodied"

Sounds more like a cake!

You must get a Torano sampler. It's required smoking material for all BOTL.

I concur with cexshun...might want to consider a Gurkha sampler as well.

To each his own, as they say ... if I had any Fidalgos, I'd send 'em to you and let you sample them for free, but since I have none, that won't be happening ... the reason I have none is that I don't like 'em ... not only do I not like the flavor profile at all, I don't like the fact that my hands and mouth turn black from touching them, sorta the way they do with those red pistacios ... the dye rubs off

Second the motion on that Toraño recommendation ... nothing but good stuff comes from them ...

"creamy, buttery, chocolaty, etc. Medium to full-bodied"

This just screams my #1 fav everyday cigar: Torano Signature Toro

Trust us, get a Torano sampler. Strangely enough, I didn't care for any of the Gurkha sampler with the exception of the Regent, which has also made it into my daily rotation.

mmmm..... Toranos 1959 Gold.... uhuuhuhuhuhuh...

Among other things, I bought the Best of Gurkha sampler to take with me on my vacaton to Fla. Can't go wrong with Gurkha!

Marke, did ya smoke it yet?!

Baccarat sampler, All-Stars #3,Medium bodied sampler,5 Vegas sampler. All reasonable,All good!!!

Cusano sampler. Some of the best cigars you've never heard of.

recommend ultimate cupido sampler.......especially the criollos.

Steve... if you are referring to the special gift you gave me to congratulate my engagement.... yes, I smoked it. I smoked it ourside of the Department of Commerce Building when I was in D.C. this weekend.

Hah! Nice! And....

Simply AMAZING, of course. I spent time at the White House, the Smithsonian, all of the major DC attractions.... oddly enough, when I think back to the day, I remember the cigar most of all.

You 'da man!! Thanks again!

NP. An occasion such as this calls for a cigar like that. Glad you enjoyed it, and had a nice time in DC.

My apologies for the threadjack. I'd definitely recommend the Gurkha and Torano samplers. Also, keep your eye out for a new K. Hansotia sampler...it's pretty nice 🙂
