newbie looking for sampler

I have been trying different cigars for a while now and am looking for a good sample pack to try with some friends. Below I'll list what I've tried and what I've thought of them, then i'll show a few of the samplers that i found and am thinking of trying. If anyone has any suggestions to other samplers feel free to post them.

I have tried:
Macanudos = Bland
Helix = light, but good
Don Kiki (green label) = mild, but slightly acidic aftertaste
Don Kiki (red label) = stronger, still a slightly acidic aftertaste
Punch = a little bland, but good
Kahlua = too sweet....o0(i'm not really into flavoreds)0o...
Acid Kuba Kuba = the only flavored cigar that i have liked so far
Onyx Reserve = full bodied & smooth...one of my favorites so far
Countless gas station cigars that i started on = why did i ever smoke those?

Samplers that I have found:

Any input is appreciated...

Thank You,

Check K7's post in the Exchange forum. He could set you up with a much nicer sampler than those.

Hey Nick,

If I were you I would go with a sampler of the more established names ( does not mean expensive )

Here is a link to a nice sample
www.cigarsintl.com/sa677

Also try to look for samples that at this point have more differnt stcks that way you can try different cigars and then get 5ers of the ones you liked to see if your first impression is consistent.

I checked out that link and i'd be willing to buy the sampler, but the site only sells if you are over 21. I am 19. Have any more links for me?

Thanks,
