    Welcome to the board!. For economy selection-try the Punch london clubs-taste just like "toast." Also give the Punch champion and after dinner maduro a try. Just some suggestions.

    welcome to the board!

    i'm still really new the smoking world so i don't really have any cigars that i can recommend. i can only tell you what i started with. my first was a diablo. very nice and spicy. then an el rey del mundo. also very good. followed be an excalliber 1066. and to end with a ashton 898, i think. i didn't care too much for the aston as it was very mild with not that much flavor. one word on the el rey del mundo, smoke it slow, i went too fast with it and not so nice things happened. but the flavor was awsome.

    Hmmm, for maduros I'd say try the Punch Rothchild Double Maduro, also the El Rey Del Mundo Robusto Oscuro (or maduro, whichever you can find). Another you should be able to find pretty easy is the Padron 3000 maduro.

    For naturals I will suggest the La Gloria Cubana Wavell and the Camacho (any size really).

    Welcome to the board! To help get your taste buds ready I suggest going to buy a couple really cheap cigars as well. That way you have something to compare the nicer cigars you smoke with

    For a newb at cigar smoking I'd suggest starting out a bit milder...

    Macanudo Hyde Park (Actually, just about any of the Macs)
    CAO Gold Label
    Griffin's Natural (not the Fuerte)

    Cheaper end:

    Baccarat
    Helix blue label
