Thread: Looking For New Cigars To Try

    Default Looking For New Cigars To Try

    I haven't been smoking for extremely long, ( about a year and a half ) but long enough to have tired some good brands of cigars (Romeo Y Julieta, Rocky Patel, Ashton, Partagas to name a few ). I'm looking to broden my cigar knowledge by trying new cigars that aren't very well known or well advertised or even cigars that are surprises. Any and all suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks

    Also, has anyone ever smoked Black Pearl Cigars? A review would be awesome.

    The Gran Habano's look like a nice smoke

    Gran Habano #3's and #5's are good. Any of the Padron 2000,3000,4000, etc are good, especially the maduros. I like anything Camacho. Just tried a Camacho Triple Maduro that was fantastic(thanks Shelby07)!

    I just picked up a Black Pearl Maduro today at my B&M, I'll try to light this up this weekend and let you know what I think.

    Smoke this tonight, it wasn't too bad in my opinion, but nothing over the top either. Draw was nice and smooth, the cigar felt firm and solid. Started off with the traditional bitter notes at first, but that went away after a few puffs. Somewhere about the 1/3 - 1/2 mark it started to lose alot of it's nutty and pleasing flavor. About this same time, I started to run into some burn issues, a quick touch up or two and it corrected itself. The last 1/3 really wasn't exciting, and I laid it to rest in the yard just before I got to the band. I subscribe to thy three before you determine if you like it or hate it method. I have another which I will let simmer for a while, and see if it gets any better.

    Sounds like a decent smoke and thanks for the review, really appreciate it. I'll probably get a few sticks to try them out and let them sit in the humidor for a bit to help with the issues.

    Smoking it and doing a review was my pleasure. I always am willing to try something I have never had before.

    So, are you a Bruce Lee fan? I spent a few days of my honeymoon in Seattle, and have a picture of me doing my best Bruce Lee impression in front of his grave. Unfortunally for my wife it was too late, and she was stuck with me.

    Not a diehard fan, I just used it as my avatar because it was the first funny one I found.
    Nonetheless, he is a great martial arts master.

    Love pretty much anything from the Torano line, especially the 1959 and the Casa.
    Also, as Woxof mentioned, the Padron 2-6000's are really great, especially in the maduro.




    And Bruce Lee was a BADASS!
