1) Arturo Fuente Curly Head..............crap...slightly better than a dog turd
.
2) Excalibur No. 5........not for a beginner...wait a few months
3) Baccarat Luchadores......absolutely...anything baccarat is perfect for a beginner

4) Punch Grand Cru Robusto.....see #2
5) Flor de Oliva Torpedo....see #2


i thinki the 3 that i mentioned might be a bit too full flavored for a beginner stick....

i'd recommend la fontana,leon jimenes,fonseca,fonseca vintage,and JM dominicans as excellent beginner sticks....the guy that wrote the article did it when he took his head out of his ass....

and remember...you'll have slightly different flavor profiles with cigars from the D.R.,honduras and nicaragua.....make note of them and decide which you prefetr...
