looking for expert advice

[Sapper0001]

Hey guys hope all is well. I am new both to this site and to cigars so I am looking for some expert advice. I have search the internet, bought magazines, and looked through books and they all say the same thing. They review all the big names, the Ashtons and Romeo Y Juliets, the Punchs' and Cohibas'. And while those are all good cigars and I am trying them I would like to know about some not so big name Great cigars, some cigars that are not mass produced. Maybe some limited editions or a small company that makes a great cigar. And so my question is for all. Please let me know from your experience some good not so well known cigars. I perfer a mild to medium bodied smoke, I have not quit aquired the taste for full bodied smokes, but if there is a full bodied smoke out there that I have to smoke before I die then please let me know and I will at it to my list of smokes to smoke before I die. Thank you everyone that helps me out. Sappers Lead The Way!!!!

Hey Sapp, if you haven't tried any yet, I've been happy with every cigar I have smoked from Hoyo de Monterrey. They are a really great company if I can say so. My favorite from them are the Box Pressed Excaliburs. A very nice, creamy cigar. Perfect when you're drinking a good whiskey. Try to find one at your local shop. If they don't have any, PM me and I'll be happy to send you a little variety of some Hoyos.

Mainly just try alot of different brands out to find what you like the most.

Hey toasty thanks for the advice. The only problem is I think I bought one of those when I started smoking about a month ago and if I remember correctly it was way to much for me. Ofcourse I could have tried something else, but I am almost positive that it was the excaliber. But thanks for the advice, maybe I will give it another go around if I can find the right one.

Bigpoppapuff and QuiteC thanks for the advise also, i have made a list with those suggestion and I will start knocking them down one at a time.
Bigpoppapuff I know you are from Buffalo. I am moving to Rochester in a few days. I was wondering if you know any good Cigar shops. The one down here I really got to like the people that work there and have become friends even with the owner. It has a nice homey felling(ofcourse in Texas we can smoke inside so its nice to sit in the smoking room and chat it up). Thats what I am looking for in a Cigar shop. Do you have any suggestions.
