Ok Guys and Gals...., I am kinda new to the cigar smoking hobby (been smoking for about 3 months). I just purchased a few different cigars from this site and I was wondering if anyone has any feedback. I purchased Gran Habano Vintage 2002 robusto, Obsidian White Noise Robusto, Torano Circa Series Dominican Selection Robusto, and 5 Vegas Gold Maduro Corona. Now, I have had everything from the gas station smoke to a Fuente Fuente Opus X but I have no idea how these ones I just purchased will be...., I just know at the prices I got them for I couldn't lose. Anyway, any feedback would be appreciated.

Only you will know how they will be for you.

Let us know what you think.

Edit: I've had the 5 Vegas Gold Maduro. Don't recall 'exactly' what it was like, other than it's a cigar I would have no problem getting again for the right price.
I guess I've had some good Toranos and some bad... mostly good.
The dark Obsidians are good for me. Haven't had the White Noise.

Smoke them then decide. To each their own.

White noise and 5 gold are nasty. No flavor. Never cared for most toranos either. Remember u asked

Just try them out, like what you smoke, not much to lose.
That being said there are much better cigars in the world and in a couple years you will not want to smoke a single one on your list.

Well, I am just trying stuff out right now...., my pallet right now is more from the mild to medium blend cigars. I think I paid about a total of $30 bucks for 5 of each of the aforementioned sticks. SO, I am not out much if I don't like them. I have had the Gran Habano Connecticut #1 and it was decent. I know the Vintage 2002 is supposedly a little more toward the medium heaviness than the Connecticut #1. I love the Maduro wrapper...., it is probably my favorite. SO, I am hoping the 5 Vegas is decent. Really, what I am trying to accomplish is to find an everyday smoke that won't break the bank. Maybe one of these will fit the bill...., one thing I do know.... it doesn't matter how expensive the stick is..... if you like it.. smoke it and to hell with what anyone thinks!!!! LOL.... anyway, thanks for the feedback.

Read up on what others are burning around here in the "What'cha Smok'in Azzhats 1,000,000!!!!" post...but, only you can decide what you like. Your tastes will change over time too...

Yeah, I have been told as a cigar smoker than your tastes evolve. I am sure than will happen...., as for now though I don't make it through too many "full-bodied" smokes. Just too much to smoke a whole stogie of that for me at this point. Honestly, at first I would pretty much only smoke a mild Connecticut wrapper stogie...., I have evolved where I like a good medium bodied maduro or habano wrapper....,

It will be interesting to see where I stand with my tastes in a year.....

I had the 5 Vegas Gold a few months back. Pretty good for the price. Definitely mild and smooth.

This is sooo true.

I've come to the conclusion that most new smokes deserve at least 2 chances, thus why I generally buy 5 packs of smokes. Try it twice, if I end up liking it, I've got 3 more to enjoy. If I don't, at least I have some spares to gift to buddies. We all have different tastes!

while too mild to suit my tastes, the Carlos Torano smokes I have had were well built and flavorful.

The Gran Habano #3's I bought were not good, had a second band on them that was put on WAY to tight so I had to remove that (actually left a line on them like a girdle). Then after a cple weeks of rest I smoked one and ehhh. Give them to your friends who dont usually smoke and then they will never ask for a good stick again ;)

Yeah, the Opus X are the cheap ass cigars my local gas station carries, compared to the Black N Milds... LOL.....

A buddy gave me a couple different sizes of the Fuente Fuente Opus X smokes.... they are good... maybe a little too advanced for my pallet at the moment..., I enjoyed the one I have smoked so far.... a little stronger than what I am use to but good....
