[pauldrums81]

Here is what I picked up yesterday.

Two each of:

Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
San Cristobal El Principe
Trinidad Reyes
Montecristo No. 5
Cohiba Siglo II
Rafael Gonzales Petit Coronas

A box of 5 Cohiba Siglo I

Also a 70% puck and a Caliber III hygrometer

Just have to decide where to start now!

A nice choice of smokes there, pretty soon you will be hankering after a 300 capacity humidor

[cohibaIV]

Some really lovely looking cigars there...

Good selection there, I'm a big fan of the RASCC.

Hmmm, Siglo's, lovely.
Must try some RASC's at some point.

[Deano]

Looking like a great first order, nice one

[Cohibanut]

I've never tried any of the Trinidad brand but keep hearing they are a real treat. One of these is definitely on my (almost endless) wish list.

A really nice selection you've got there, enjoy!!

Hi pauldrums81
If you don't mind me asking, what are the Siglo I & II's like? (if you've cracked into them already, that is?) - I've had a Trini Reyes, which is one of the best cigars I've had so far, and would like to invest in a box of top-end cigars to keep...

Hi sbthang
Both the Siglo I & II are great smokes. I could smoke the siglo I any time of day or night. It's very smooth and produces bucket loads of creamy fluffy smoke. Really nice in the morning with a good espresso. It has a hint of pepper towards the end and I always end up smoking them too low and am always left wanting more. The siglo II has a very similar flavour profile but I found it a little earthier and darker than the smaller siglo I. It was also more complex and had definite transitions in flavour as the stick burned down which I guess is due to it being a bigger cigar. I hope that helps mate but remember that all this is subjective and that what one person tastes in a stick may be completely different to someone else. For instance I really didn't enjoy the first Trini Reyes I had which I've put down to it being a young stick but there are plenty of folk around who give them rave reviews.

Thanks pauldrums81...point taken re: reviews being subjective. I am keen to explore the 'premium' brands, such as Cohiba and Behike, but also want to find a good range of every-day smokes at the right price-point. (in wine terms; we'd all love a bottle of chassagne montrachet every night, but a good bourgogne blanc fits the pocket...)
Your reply is greatly appreciated.

Looks like a cracking purchase. I just ordered a couple of RyJ Short Chirchills for the brother and myself from CGars. Im very new to all this but it seems very easy to get lost in a world of Cigar research/browsing. Got to get myself something a little special for the birthday next week, im sure i will find some good suggestions in these pages.

Edit, just e-mailed CGars to add a couple Trinidad Reyes to the order, sounds like they have gone down well with a lot of people here
