Need some advice!

Good shout. I also quite like the Petit Robusto. It's just the Epi 2 that really doesn't do it for me (I always find a little artificial almond note in there - I love almonds but hate things like marzipan, strange old way our tastebuds work).

I love marzipan and hardly ever find it in a cigar, wish I did

Reminds me, I've not had an Epi 2 for a while so will have to revisit again soon to see if I can detect any marzipan but I do get sweet coconut from the Epi Especial which is another nice stick.

I tasted almond in a Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro I recently had. It is a moreish flavour, especially in a cigar!

Hi, thanks for the help guys.

I did a lot of searching and reading on the cigars you all suggested, unfortunately all it did was reiterate how little I know about cigars.
Anyway, after all that I have decided to go with the Partagas and see how it goes, I'm just a little worried about how strong it will be for us novices However I am very much looking forward to trying a whisky with the cigar it was specifically meant to be paired with. I will let you know how it goes.

Thanks again, it was much appreciated.
I very much expect I will be back again soon looking for more advice!

I hope you enjoy it Rebecca, Partagas have a fairly distinct flavour profile and are one of my favourites. I look forward to you letting us know what you thought of it.

Enjoy Rebecca - I'm a huge Partagas fan, so hoping you find them equally as alluring as I do!
