I have £100 to spend on cigars

[Gus Fring]

...and I was hoping for you guys' recommendations. My favourite smokes are:

Romeo Y Julieta Wide Churchills
Joya De Nicaragua No 4 (Robusto)
Oliva Serie G Camaroon Robusto
Brick House Robusto

I'm pretty much open to all suggestions so please treat me like the uninformed eejit that I am. I smoke a cigar once a month as a treat, so it doesn't have to be quantity over quality.

If you like the wider ring gauges (i.e. Wide Churchill) then the new H. Upmann Magnum 54 may be a good shout. Light to medium in strength but very good flavour and construction. It might also be worth trying something at the other end of the strength scale - the Ramon Allones specially selected is a favourite of mine in terms of full strength smokes.

If you're used to smoking Robusto I'd consider getting all of the Petit Coronas and give those a try, one from each of the major marcas.

Many thanks for your recommendations, everyone. I've gone for a couple of Ramon Allones Specially Selected and Bolivar Belicosos Finos. Doesn't half make your mouth water when you're trying to choose, eh?

[mcdee]

Excellent choices. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

One of our members (Simon Bolivar I think it was) said smoke less but smoke better. Should be fine if you're only smoking only smoking once a month.
Can't go wrong with:
Partagas 898
Upmann Conn 1
Bolivar Royal Corona
Monte Petit Edmundo
RyJ Belicosos
San Cristobal la Fuerza
VR Famosos

There are some great ERs and ELs on the go but they can be a bit hit or miss....

Hi Stevieboy,

In my quest for knowledge I have pulled this out of the archives - do these recommendations still hold true or are there better replacements/additions?

[PeeJay]

I prefer the RyJ Short Churchill to the Belicoso and you can't go wrong with a Bolivar Belicoso Fino (BBF)

I'd agree with that PJ & add a couple of Hoyo's for balance, Epi No1 or Petit Robusto.
