What cigars next?!

[Arrans]

Hello! So, as the title suggests, I need some suggestions/advice on what cigar I am to try next!

I'm new to cigar smoking and this forum for the matter of fact. The two cigars I have tried are;
Oliva G series Petit Corona
H.Upmann Half Corona

I enjoyed them both, but I enjoyed the Oliva G a lot more. The H.Upmann just didn't seem that nice to me, the Oliva G however, had a good flavour and tasted like creamy coffee with a hint of spice.

What cigars can you suggest? (Also need to be somewhat cheap, I can't afford to pay 20 smackers for a stick!) Also, is it essential to buy a humidor, because I don't have one yet, will this affect the taste of my cigars?

Thanks

Hi Arrans, you don't need a humidor yet, just get a tupperware type food container with a good seal and a small Boveda pack if you have a tobacconist near you. Creamy and cheap? Try a Rocky Patel The Edge Lite if you can find one.

Try the Oliva G Belicoso and The Rocky Patel 1990!

Welcome aboard!

Yup a Tupperware and Biveda pack will get you well on your way.

My two sticks to recommend, as ever.

The Montecristo No 4 and Trinidad Reyes.

I don't think you can go wrong starting with them [emoji4]

You can get a Lock&Lock Tupperware container on Amazon (I mostly use 5.5L). Some humidity beads and a hygrometer from C.Gars LTD or Ebay and a plastic bottle of de-ionsed water from your local garage. A small spray bottle might be useful to apply the water.

Next cigar? I've recently discovered Por Laranaga petite coronas to be very nice. Ramon Allones small club coronas are a firm favourite also, and both are at the reasonably priced end of Cubans.

Thank you for all the replies!! I think I will purchase another Oliva G(or a couple) & also purchase some of the ones many of you have suggested.

Also, can anybody recommend a cheap online shop I can purchase my future cigars from. Currently I am using, mysmokingshop. They seem cheap and friendly enough, is there anywhere even cheaper?

Thanks

Would a jar be okay too? I glass one with a sealing lid which is tight? They have some on offer at Tesco lol!

Personally, I'd say you can't go wrong with a humidor.
If ordering online, I like the service from http://www.cgarsltd.co.uk
All the best.

When you get more into this obsession you'll find that some cigars come in jars so the answer is yes.

From my experience I would give these a go:

- San Cristobal el Principe
- Quai d'Orsay Corona
- Rafael Gonzalez Perla

Some humidity beads and a hygrometer from C.Gars LTD or Ebay and a plastic bottle of de-ionsed water from your local garage.

Just on this mate, you need distilled water only for the beads, de-ionised isn't the same thing.

Whoops, forgot to look on page 2! >.< Okay, how does this look for an order? I went a little over budget. I may remove the most expensive, although it's had great reviews.
