Thank you for all your suggestions gentlemen, I really appreciate it. So after hearing, "go to your local shop!" all over the forum thats what I did today, as it happened to me my day off. Told the gentleman that I was new and to give me three in different strengths to gauage what I would like. I walked away with
1)VegaFina Toro Hecho A Mano.
2)Habano #3
3)Rocky Vintage 1990.

I took your advice and will start a journal with some notes on what I like about each (or not like). Ill keep you posted, Im starting on the Toro now.

So just to update you folks, the Rocky 1990 was BY FAR my favorite. The Fega Fina was a little harsh for my first time around, the the other was simply to light. Do you have any suggestions based on my like of the rocky? Id like to try some simillair ones! Thanks in advance!

Very simillar in tastes? Anything specific?

Yes, very specific, they (Padron) make a VERY good cigar that I think you will enjoy if you liked the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990

I'm struggling a bit here....

You said you like the RP 1990's, and asked for opinions about other cigars you should try. You've been offered two very solid alternatives - The "Edge" and anything Padron. I personally know both to be very valid recommendations based upon what you've indicated you like - and I know the recommendations were made because they were "simillar in tastes"(sic). How much more "specific" would you like us to be?

Give this a shot - before you ask any more questions, smoke those two cigars and let us know your thoughts compared to the RP 1990. We'll go from there...
