    Default Newbie Needs Advice

    Have been smoking El Rey Del Mundo Rubusto Suprema Double Maduros for years. I'm having trouble finding a very good full-bodied Honduran Maduro (Punch are mixtures of Nic, Hon). The quality of the El Reys aren't what they were 6-8 years ago. JR Ultimates, Excalibur, and Hoyos aren't as good. Can anyone recommend a Nicaraguan (I've had no luck with them at all)
    Just bought a bundle of Rocky Patel Seconds on Cigarbid, Thanks.

    Howdy,

    Please, introduce yourself and add a little to your profile.

    Padron is always a safe bet for Nic cigars, and the Antano's are good too.

    Can't think of any Honduran puros other than ERDM that I like. Carlos Torano, Hoyo de Monterey, and as you said Punch all offer Honduran blends that are pretty good.

    I do enjoy a ERDM robusto Larga now and then, and haven't noticed any lack of quality.

    In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.

    Default RP Vintage Seconds 1990 Toro

    12 year old wrapper with 5 year old filler! Most beautiful dark, dark box pressed cigar I've ever seen. Very strong with tell-tale raunchy, bitter Nic bite! Back to the ERDM Robusto Suprema for me.

    My name is Terry from NC. Prefer a strong puro. Is there anything besides a ERDM Oscuro worth trying. Thanks.
