Non Cuban bucket list

[EdBlackadder]

Arturo Fuente are good. Have also enjoyed the couple of Rocky Patels I've tried. I hear the Olivia Opus X is very good but haven't splurged out on one yet.

Rocky Patel, Oliva, Alec Bradley, Ashton and CAO have all had decent sticks for me.

I hear a lot about Arturo Fuente, Padron and Gurkha though.

Edited: missed something.

Amazing advice guys, many thanks!

I am sure that this has been asked on the Board a thousand times before, but I am working in Miami next week and there is a cigar shop right near my hotel. I don't want to go mad and buy a box, but really want to sample a few non-Cuban smokes whilst I am out there.

The problem is that whenever I have tried non-Cubans before they always seems a little tasteless compared to what I am used to smoking, so I am really looking for something with some decent taste behind them.

Can anyone therefore recommend 2-3 brands and sizes that I could confidently ask for in the cigar shop without sounding like a complete idiot?
