Off the top of my head @ 5am:
Tatuaje Havana IV
601 Green Oscuro
Don Pepin Garcia My Father(starts out pretty spicy but mellows out pretty quick)
Alec Bradley Tempus
Avo 787
Carlos Torano Virtuoso

Carlos Torano Virtuoso
Padron 1926 or 1964 maduro
Kristoff Maduro ($7-$8, this is currently one of my favorites, very rich flavor, tough to find though)
Diamond Crown Maduro (I recently had a No. 4 maduro and it had a creamy rich classic maduro flavor with impeccable construction and tons of thick smoke, $12)
San Cristobal
Rocky Patel Vintage or Decade
I prefer the Carlos Torano Casa Torano Maduro over the Virtuoso (get both!)
AF Work of Art maduro if you can find one
Don Pepin Series JJ maduro (very unique smoke)
Alot of people on this forum love the Ashton VSG (for the price it didn't much for me, but I think every smoker should at least give it a shot)
Camacho cigars are a little pricey as well and seem to be popular on this forum
I don't buy many expensive smokes so there's alot I haven't tried...
I guess the question is whether you would like a few really nice (read: pricey) cigars, or you just want to boost your collection of smokes. If it were me, I would mix it up a bit, so that if I spend $15-$20 for a stick and hate it, I still have several other options.
Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve
Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
New Orleans Cigar Factory Vieux Carre
Don Peppin Garcia's My Father
La Aurora Preferidos
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
AF King B
These two cigars (in my opinion anyways) are spicy sticks, at least from what I remember of them. Sure, different blends bring out different tastes, but I especially remember that VSG being peppery. I only bring this up because he mentioned he didn't like spicy sticks.
Hmmmmm.
Oliva MB3
AF Hemi Natties or Maddies
Padron Anniv Nat or Mad
Illusione
Coronado by La Flor
AF Anejos
Tatuaje (red, white, or brown labels)
Don Kiki Brown
Bolivar Confradia
DC Maximus
Those are just some off the top of my head.
I'm not looking to grow my collection as far as volume but rather find some really good celebration smokes. I've had the Virtuoso and definitely enjoyed it. I've also had the Casa Torano but not the maduro. I have a Tatuaje red label that's been resting for a while and I'm definitely looking forward to that! I was looking at the 601 Green Oscuro so I'll have to pull the trigger on that one too. I've never tried any of the Don Pepin line yet but that's definitely on the list. Of course, I'd love to try them all but SWMBO seems to think spending hundreds a month on cigars is frivolous![]()
I enjoy the Cabaiguan Guapos (mild-medium) or the Tatuaje Reserva (J21 or SW.) the Padrons (26 or 64) are always a good choice. The Havana VI you have is a nice cigar. My favorite is the Nobles (robusto.) The Diamond Crown Maximus is probably one of the best cigars that Fuente makes. I also like the San Cristobal Monumento, though several others here are not particularly overwhelmed by them. If you like the Toranos try to get hold of a couple of the Torano Tribute 2004 Pyramids.
Any one of the cigars listed in the posts above are well worth trying

If you like hemmingways I can second the AF king Bs. That is probably one of the best and most underrated fuentes out there. I remember when you could only get them at a few spots. I had to trek to vegas to get them from casafuente. What a trip that was.
But I digress

davidoff millenium
Those would be my choices
