I would suggest you get something with a heavier ring gauge, when I got a few in Canada I didn't know what I was doing, and got all Coronas, and while they wern't bad, I don't think I got the full experiance out of them.

Personally I would AVOID all four of those brands as they are the four most faked Cuban cigars out there especially in tourist areas. I also have to disagree with looking for larger ring gauge cigars. The "standard" gauge is considered to be 40 - 44. I'd stick with those if I were you.
