I’m fairly new to cigars and brand new to cigarbid. This site has been my new addiction. Anyway, looking for recommendations from seasoned vets of sticks to try. Here is a bit about me to help with any suggestions.

I’m strictly a robusto smoker, yes that limits me but I don’t have time for larger sticks and really don’t want to fool with smaller. I’m also a light smoker, maybe 1 a week if I’m lucky....

So far I like what I have tried, actually haven’t really had a terrible smoke but RP vintage 90 probably my fav. Like partagas black, AB black market Esteli, ok with AB tempest, AF opus x lost city, really enjoyed San cristoble Elegancia.

I’m thinking I’m just all over the place with strength/body. What say you, what robustos should I bid/try next. Thanks!

Maybe you tripped over your sack. I'm just guessing, based on your handle. Seriously, you can delete entire posts. You can pay me ten grand to do it for you, or you can look for posting instructions or just axe customer service. Ask. Ask. Never axe them. Sorry.

Too many cigars............too little time. Try ones you haven't had.

Everything I would say is a personal opinion and there are many different opinions here so there is not one set answer. Id say if you liked the Fuente there are many other good ones of theirs to check out that are more budget friendly.

................and don't worry about double posts. No excuses.

Try everything you can. Samplers are a good way to go. But, for the first year or so do NOT stock up on the cigars you like now. There's a very good chance that your palate will change over time and you will no longer enjoy your current favorites.

We won't bust your chops too bad for a double post, but getting your screen name wrong is another story.

Since you are new and in order to get to know you better, please answer the following questions:

Pancakes or waffles ?

Do you like long walks on the beach ?

Daisy Mae or Ellie Mae ?

Do you like camping by the river ?

Cello on or cello off ?

Ginger or MaryAnn ?

David Lee or Sammy ?

Warner Oland or Sidney Toler ?

Have you been in a Turkish prison ?

Do you like gladiator movies ?

dogs or cats ?

Men or women ?

Wad or fold ?

Sit or squat ?

Do sad movies make you cry ?

Quite possibly the most sagacious advice anyone can give a n00b. Samplers are a great way to try different smokes. Best is to try those that offer 2-5 of several different cigars. Oliva are imminently reliable. Also good to try samplers that have different brands in them. Power Hour is going right now, and there is a Sampler category. Both good places to go for ideas.

Wait a minute. I forgot it was Tirade Tuesday. Get off of my lawn!

Thanks you all for the responses. Looks like sampler packs might be the way to go. I’m also going to venture out of my comfort zone with different sizes besides robusto (my commitment to robustos was due to time and because that’s what the pros at local cigar shop told me to stick with) now to answer all the introduction questions

1. I was told to say French Toast (but I prefer proteins for breakfast not much on pancakes waffles or toast)

2. Yes I enjoy long walks, beach, woods, anywhere but the city

3. Daisy

4. Yes to camping by the river or anywhere for that matter. I prefer to rough it. Do lots of primitive camping. Not into Brokeback Mountain camping....

5. Cello on

6. Ginger, but on a deserted island I’d take either

7. Van Halen not VanHagar

8. ?

9. Never been to any prison but I am married and do work for a living

10. Don’t watch many movies or much tv

11. Dogs

12. Women

13. Fold, and I ball my socks

14. If I’m really tired I sit down...

15. Yes but again I don’t watch many movies

Don't limit yourself to one size...…...try some of them sticks you like in smaller ring gauges and you might be pleasantly surprised.Thats like limiting yourself to only blondes..........have a little red head or brunnette action occasionally.My faves are Asians and 40 rg up thru about 50 with the corona gorda,46 rg,being directly in my wheelhouse.But I have done Churhills and round eyes.......hell I even liked a few of them.

I assume he’s Tried Prozac.

Do you think there would be a synergistic effect?

In my opinion, the correct answer for #8 is definitely Warner Oland.

Oh yeah, forgot to add - don’t limit to only one size. You will find that the ‘same’ cigar in various sizes will give you different experiences.

Kind of like women or men depending on your swing. You will find that various sizes will give you different experiences. 😂😂 I am also a new and finding that depending on the type of day I am having will determine the type of smoke I will have. Enjoy your exploration.
