They used to sell a small variety on cgars. Not sure if they still do.

It would be the Fuente Opus X Reserve de Chateau for me. Unfortunately, they seem to be rarer than hen's teeth these days.

I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=53.559407,-1.494244

There are 3 packs of these on Cgars at the mo heads up!!

[The Prince, Moseley]

Here's a few you can buy UK and not blow your budget, with the prices we sell them for in our shop. You can buy them from Cgars and a few other places on-line:

Oliva V series - the Robusto is a good smoke at ?10
Padron 5000 - initially the first couple of minutes are not great but after that they are very good and a big cigar for ?14
Rocky Patel Decade - a great smoke ?17
Anything Fuente - like Padron they make some great top end cigars with prices to match but the Rosado Magnum series is fantastic value and the Magnum are 58 is available in the UK at ?12
My Father - we do a couple of these and they are great
Nub - give the Maduro a go - at ?10 its a sweet little stick that offers a great smoke

Most of these I would class as medium flavour.

Hope this helps

Im going to add the rocky patel Nording to this as its pretty good for a pipe cigar

It blows my mind how much it costs for NC's over here compared to the US. Rocky Patel decade at ?17, it's hard to imagine someone choosing to spend that on a Rocky Patel when there are so many amazing CC's available at the same price.

Indeed fireman but hay thats what american friends and cuban cigars are for

[fireman_uk]

Agreed Reaver...God bless America.

Im going to add Don Pepin Garcia Black Label "cuban classic" nothing like a cuban but still quite nice.

Not sure exactly what it was, but I had a RyJ NC robusto in Florida last year (bought from a Publix supermarket) and it was almost identical in taste to a Cuban RyJ Exhibicion No.4. It was hands down the best NC I had out of 40+ different NC brands/vitolas I tried while I was out there.

My best ever cigar (so far) was an NC. A Perdomo Cuban Cafe 'La Tradicion' Torpedo X but I couldn't source them when I was there

Last night I had a Man O' War Puro Authentico Maduro, I bought them blind without knowing a thing about them, not too big, around 40 x 5.5" but wow awesome taste. I'll do a review later, but need to buy some lego first

CAO Maduro Toro and the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 are my faves.

Wait you say it tasted great WITHOUT the lego.

Well there goes that theory.

Padron aniversary serise are great smokes. Had one in the summer and it was superb, I still have a 1926 and a 1945 in the humi. Both gifted from generous BOTL's in the US!
