Templeton's Rye, eh? Yeah - I'm hooked too...

Sorry - not heard of Verona cigars, but if you bought them at CI they were very likely a close out.

My wife went through a phase like you and went through a spell when she was smoking CAO cigarillos. Her favorite was Eileen's Dream. You might want to look those up. Rocky Patel also makes Java - a coffee/dark chocolate tasting cigar. The Wafe is small and odd looking (it's box pressed) but rather tasty.

If you go into more mainstream cigars, stay away from the maduro's - they tend to be more full flavor and (more importantly) full strength. Full strength cigars are the ones that make your stomach uneasy because of their higher nicotine content.

But always remember - smoke what you enjoy and enjoy what you smoke. Smoking a good cigar should be like savoring a good wine - it's not about the buzz, but more about the escape. Cigars should always put you in a better place.
