Maduro.... I love that word.

Try that Cigars International intro package and you'll have a better idea what you're going to like. Most of us start out buying on cigarbid.com auctions (aka: the devil site). I have picked up top-shelf sticks for a buck or two many MANY times. Just don't go bid crazy or you can end up paying more than retail at other sites.

Do your homework and you'll be rewarded.

You might also want to look into Carlos Torano Virtuoso. For that coffee flaver there's Java by Drew Estates and Kahlua brands as well.

If you like the stronger cigars, will suggest anything in the Maria Mancini line-the naturals are spicy, and the maduros are smoother and more earthy. Both smooth out and are really special after about 6 months. All are fairly inexpensive. Other ideas are the Flor de Oliva natural and maduro bundles. Both have a well defined taste and are affordable. Final suggestion is to step it a bit and try Indian Tabac Classics and Super Fuertes. All well priced. Can't resist one more grouping-step it up to Sancho Panza Super Fuerte and on a slightly milder note, Alec Bradley Corojo Trilogy-spicy, and Trilogy Maduro, smooth and mild. The unifying characteristic of all of these suggestions is that they all have a well defined taste and are mostly in the strong medium to full flavor. They are also extremely affordable. At Cigars International the most expensive cigar here is $60 per box of 25 with 5 more free-the Indian Super Fuerte Toro Maduro. Hope you try some of these and enjoy them. Paul
