Hello keepers of sticks

[Drewster]

Welcome aboard! Other than flavour profiles a big difference between Cubans and Non Cubans is smaller Cubans burn for just as long if not longer than Non Cubans of larger sizes so don’t be out off by their smaller size.

Cgars is a good place to start, they do a Cuban Robusto sampler if I remember right. Personally I’d recommend picking up a selection of Petit Coronas, they give you an intro to the flavour profiles of the different Marcas at around half the price of Robustos.

Right well I took the advice and ordered myself a few little samplers 4 x H Upmann Regalias Petit Corona, Jose L Piedra Mixed Selection Sampler - 3 Cigars and 1 Fonseca Cosacos most likely not the best choices trying to keep costs down whilst I sample

Welcome along Drew to the wonderful world of cigars and to the forum. In no time at all the ‘rabbit hole’ will loom large and you will be working on your excuses as to how your collection grew

Haha yeah thats what im hoping for i have kinda roped the wife in called it an "Investment" she's aboard for now at least, No collecting can happen yet though as no humidor but eventually i will branch out and get one just enjoying smoking them at the min so they wouldn't be stored for long hehe

Any recommendations for Cubans preferably robusto/toro

Welcome aboard.

For a lighter tasting Cuban robusto, you can't go wrong with a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure no.2.

My two personal favourites are the Ramon Allones Specially Selected and Juan Lopez no.2.

Oooooo thank you added to my list of potential future smokes

[Midas]

Regalias are good smokes. JLP aren’t to everyone’s taste, the Petit Cazadores is the one that seems to get the best feedback. I quite like JLP, never amazing, rarely disappoints.

The good thing about starting at the bottom end is if you like them that’s great and if you don’t there’s only better options to try 😆.

Make sure you buy an airtight container, some Boveda packs and a digital hydrometer as well. Essential even if you’re only keeping a small number of sticks.
